Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful private tour with Eleni in Athens. Her knowledge was impressive, and she explained each site in fascinating detail. She took us to stunning panoramic views of the city that we would have missed on our own. As an elderly couple, we found the 3-hour walk challenging, but Eleni was incredibly patient and understanding. A highly positive experience—we wholeheartedly recommend her!"
"Evanthia took us on the half day acropolis slopes and museum tour. She was super friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. We loved every minute. Evanthia paced it very well and was enthusiastic in answering all of our questions. I can't praise her highly enough and would definitely recommend her to others. "
"Costas was an excellent guide. He was a great story teller and painted a picture of Ancient Greece that was captivating. His knowledge was impressive and there was no question we asked that he couldn't answer. I highly recommend him for both the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. "
"Eleni was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens and all the sites she showed us. She was patient and gave us all the opportunities to take pictures of the wonderful city of Athens."

"Costas was a wealth of knowledge. I think we could have enjoyed his company and learned from him for many more hours. He taught us so much about the Acropolis past and present. He is a wonderful guide and this was the most educational tour we had here in Athens. Highly recommended."
"John (Ioannis) was a wonderful guide, full of energy and enthusiasm. He had prepared well to tailor our experience for my 16 year old granddaughter’s interest in mythology and philosophy, keeping her captivated and engaged for the entire afternoon. We finished with a visit to the changing of the guard. Ioannis had served as a guard, and was able to give us an insider’s perspective. We marched in right behind the arriving guards which was a special treat, and meant we had a front row viewing position for the ceremony (No one but a local would have known you could do this) It was a completely fascinating afternoon- a real highlight! "
"Our group of 4 had a perfect tour of the neighborhoods and history of Athens with our Withlocals guide, Alexandros. He communicated with us ahead of our tour and made sure to cover many highlights without repeating things that we had already seen. His indepth knowledge, flexibility, pre-tour communication, and personal touch made this tour a true highlight of our time in Athens. "
"Our Acropolis/Acropolis museum tour with Markella was really excellent. Warm, friendly, knowledgeable, interesting. She brougjt it all to Life. "
"We booked the tour to the Acropolis with Arianna. She was excellent!! Patient, very informative and she has a wonderful dry sense of humor. She is very knowledgeable about Greek history and proud of its contribution to society. She made the Acropolis come alive. I highly recommend her!"
"We had such an amazing time with Alex. It was a very informative and personally curated tour. When he found out we had theater majors on the tour he made sure to take us by Dionysus‘ theater. He had so much knowledge to share and you really cannot go wrong by booking a tour with him. "
