Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I cannot say enough good things about Ioannis!!! He took us on an extraordinary tour discovering some true hidden treasures of Athens. We learned so much about Greek history and culture. He tailored the tour to our specific interests and made the experience more like visiting with an old friend. I highly recommend taking this tour with Ioannis!! We can’t wait to come back and visit again. "
"Markella has a depth of knowledge about Athens that only someone who was botnn& bred here could possess! She has a natural gift of being able to impart that information and her tour was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend Markella!"
"Spectacular! We saw and experienced Athens truly through a local who shared parts of the city we would have never seen! Ioannis was so knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and so kind! "
"Dionisys was a wonderful guide, a true Athenian in heart and spirit. His deep knowledge of history, mythology and archaeology provided a fully immersive experience, the one we were hoping to receive. He shared all this knowledge in an easy manner, that wasn’t overwhelming, on contrary, it was wonderfully enjoyable. "

"It was our first time in Athens and we had one day, having our personal guide Ioannis that showed us highlights and so many secrets, combining with funny and interesting Greek stories from the past and present - was perfectly what we wanted! Very friendly and humble, very insightful and personal. Highly recommend 🌻"
"Markell’s gave a wonderful tour of Athens. We were only there for 24 hours and this was the perfect tour to get the history of the city and a glimpse what life is like now. Wonderful! "
"Eleni lead my family, including 2 18 year olds and 2 16 year olds to see important and interesting places in the areas around the Acropolis and the plaka. She was knowledgeable and interesting and kept the whole group listening and going even after a very long day. At the end, she found us a couple of restaurants that might work and we ended our evening with a great dinner. I highly recommend touring with Eleni. Additionally, she is very flexible!"
"Ioannis was the perfect guide. His initial greeting was gracious and welcoming. I had written to him before the tour to inform him that I required a slow pace and occasional rest stops. He crafted the perfect walking tour for these old bones. It was clear from his commentary that he loved his country and he loved showing it off to visitors. I would most definitely recommend him highly. "
"Ioannis was great very knowledgable and very helpful for suggestions for what to see and where to eat. "
"It is difficult to say how much we enjoyed our tour with Makram in Athens. He is not only knowledgeable, but very personable and such a joy to be with. Don’t hesitate to consider booking your tour with Makram. When we return to Athens one day, we will want to visit and tour with him once again! Thank you Makram for a fabulous and unforgettable time together! "
