Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My husband, 8 year old son and I enjoyed a great morning in Athens with Makram. He tailored his stories to our son, who is very interested in Greek mythology, and did a good job of pacing our tour to keep our son interested and engaged. He showed us great “hidden gems” we never would have known about and enjoyed learning about the city’s history with him! Highly recommend if you’re in Athens and want to know more about its history, food and culture!"
"Dionysus it’s open to your suggestions, walked us around talked to us about ancient politics and current politics. We discussed average wages and unemployment rates along with mythology and seeing what was dug out from underground stations for the subway. Then walked us through local areas so that we could buy an icon for friends. Quite a foodie as well.It "
"We used Evanthia for a three-hour walking tour of Athens. She was wonderful! Very personable, easy to talk to, and extremely knowledgeable. Her background is in archaeology so that really helped, too. I would highly recommend!"
"Markella’s tour was a highlight of our time in Greece. She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave so much information in a fun and easy to understand way!"

Journey into the captivating world of Ancient Greek Theatre in Athens, where drama, history, and culture intertwine. Explore the origins, evolution, and lasting legacy of this theatrical tradition with our private tours.
Ancient Greek theatre emerged in Athens around the 6th century BC, evolving from religious rituals honoring Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. These early performances laid the foundation for Western drama as we know it today and would become an essential part of Athenian culture, education and life
Tragedy, comedy, and satyr plays formed the core of ancient Greek theatre. Tragedians like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides explored profound themes of fate, morality, and human suffering. Comedies by Aristophanes provided satirical commentary on Athenian society, and bawdy satyr plays, often featuring mythological creatures, offered a ribald form of entertainment
Ancient Greek theatre was deeply intertwined with religious festivals. The City Dionysia, a major Athenian festival, hosted dramatic competitions where playwrights showcased their new works. Theatre became a public spectacle and vital cultural expression, fostering a sense of community and shared identity. Imagine stepping into the shoes of an ancient Athenian and experience the vibrant energy of these events
The Theatre of Dionysus, nestled on the slopes of the Acropolis, was the principal venue for Athenian drama. Its open-air design, with a circular orchestra and tiered seating, accommodated thousands of spectators. Euripides, one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, premiered many of his plays here

"Costas was a really lovely tour guide. He has lots of knowledge to share about Greek mythology and Athens. My children (11,12) enjoyed his vast mythological knowledge, as they themselves are addicted to National Geographic’s Greeking out podcast. Would recommend him to families for sure! "
"She really mii no owe her stuff - just a great time with her over 2 days. She is very knowledgeable about Greece history and culture "
"Alexandros is a great tour guide, made it interesting tying the Acropolis sites with Greek mythology. The kids were engaged. It was not his fault but it was a very hot day so walking up was challenging. Definitely would recommend him for the tour. He is very knowledgeable and fun. Thank you Alexandros!"
"Dionysis Was extremely knowledgeable about many topics about Athens. We visited some historical sites and got to walk the National Garden. Enjoyed a coffee and refreshments along our walking tour. I would recommend hai tour to gain a better understanding of the history of Athens from a locals perspective. "
"We had a very pleasant experience, with an informative introduction to Greek and Athenian history as well as Greek mythology. Alex was a good guide, showing us a variety of Athenian neighborhoods, even during an extremely hot day. We recommend this tour."
"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!"
