Uncover the best of Acropolis Monuments the local Way

"We did a tour of the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis with Evanthia, and we’re so glad we did. We were a family of two adults and two older teenagers, 15 and 17, and she managed to keep all four of us engaged throughout the tour. We also chose on purpose to visit the museum first and the Acropolis afterward, starting at the museum around 5:00 p.m. For us, that worked really well. By the time we headed up to the Acropolis later in the day, it was much more pleasant, and having already seen and learned about so much in the museum made the site itself even more meaningful. Evanthia is a great storyteller and shared so much of the history in a way that was interesting and easy to follow, rather than just feeling like a list of dates and facts. One thing we especially loved was the way she found little ways to make us part of the stories she was telling. I won’t spoil it for future visitors, but she gave each of us a role along the way, which made it much easier, and a lot more fun, to keep track of the gods, stories, and connections. She was also lovely to spend time with and made a real effort to engage our teenagers and include them in the conversation. They both said afterward that they really enjoyed the tour and were glad we had done it, which says a lot. And an unexpected bonus was how many photos Evanthia took of us along the way. I think this may be the first family trip where we actually came home with so many nice pictures of all four of us together. Really happy we chose Evanthia. She made both the Acropolis and the museum much more meaningful for us, and I’d definitely recommend her, especially to families traveling with older kids or teenagers."

"Alex was a joy to travel with. He was punctual, kind, and had a great energy. He brought visual aids which enhanced the overall experience and helped with learning about the culture and history of Athens. He was especially helpful as our family photographer; and a great one at that. His food tour was exquisite; cheeses and olives and gyros all from small local shops gave us a truly authentic Greek experience. Alex is a must-have tour guide. "

"We booked a tour with Ioannis the day before boarding a cruise. Since we just flew in that morning, we didn't want the hassle of figuring out the metro lines or exact meet location so Ioannis graciously agreed to pick us up at our hotel and drove us to city center (He also dropped us off after the tour so that was extremely helpful!) Ioannis was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and gave us a a great overview of Athens (both historical sites & local neighborhoods). We highly recommend Ioannis."

"My family of 5, two adults and 3 kids ages 10, 13, 16 had a tour of Acropolis and museum with Evanthia in July. She was wonderful! She made experience very interesting and engaged the kids as at times the younger ones needed more attention. It was a bit crowded and Evanthia was very good at navigating the area and took amazing photos at just the right spots that we wouldn’t have known without her. I highly recommend Evanthia!"

"Spyros was a delightful guide. His affection for Athens is contagious. We walked through and learned a lot about a number of the neighborhoods. His stories about Greek mythology, ancient rulers, and more recent history all made for an excellent interdisciplinary tour experience. Thank you Spyros! "

"Markella took a group of 5 of us on a 3 hour tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon and the Acropolis museum. Markella is very knowledgeable of all periods of Greek history and has lots of stories to tell about the Parthenon and surrounding buildings and how the history links with the buildings and the archeological finds. She covered the Greek gods, the battle of Marathon, Persian wars, the Spartans and ancient Athenians, Roman emperor Hadrian and much more. Really interesting. If you are looking for a private tour, you could not do better. Thank you"

"We learnt such a lot, had great fun chatting about all aspects of Athens, modern and ancient history, John introduced us to a new neighborhood despite visiting the city many times. Highly recommend ! We will definitely repeat on our next visit"

"Markella had an excellent tour. We learned so much. It’s well worth it. She speaks perfect English and had very good pictures of what the Acropolis looked like as well as very animated and descriptive stories."

"Our family of four (2 kids 9 and 11) had a wonderful tour with Markella! She was so engaging with the kids and knowledgeable about the history. She went at a speed that the group could handle and answered all of our questions. She is a lovely person and we highly recommend booking a tour with her! Wish we had more time in Athens to try a different tour with Markella as well!"
