Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an amazing experience using WithLocals, and our guide Alex truly made it unforgettable. From the start, the tour felt completely personalized to what we were interested in, which made a huge difference. Over the course of three hours, Alex brought Greece to life for us. The way he explained Greek mythology and tied it into the history around us made everything feel so much more meaningful. It wasn’t just a tour, it felt like we were actually understanding the stories behind what we were seeing. What stood out most was how knowledgeable and engaging he was. He answered every question, adapted along the way, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. It really felt like exploring with a local friend who genuinely cares about your experience. If you’re considering a tour through WithLocals, I highly recommend it, and if you can book Alex, do it. It was one of the highlights of our time in Greece."
"We had a great tour with Alex of the Acropolis and Acropolis museum. It’s a definite necessity to have a guide at these because you just can’t get a feel for what you’re seeing otherwise. Alex was great with our group that included a 4 year old and made It fun for all. We learned so much and loved how he incorporated his own materials about how things used to look as well as the Greek mythology connected to what we were seeing and what life was like back then. Highly recommend Alex for these private tours. Be sure to get your tickets for both of these venues in advance. Thanks for a great experience!"

"Markella gave us a great tour that covered the different historical eras of the Acropolis, spoke to the socio-political reasons why things were built and highlighted the architectural details of the buildings. In the museum she guided us through the artefacts and did a great job of highlighting special items and details on the top level of the museum that includes up close views of the Parthenon sculptures"
"Great experience with Dionysis! Easy meeting point and very detailed and personalized tour. He almost doubled our tour time as he got really into telling us all about his home and the hidden mythological gems. Phenomenal way to experience Athens if you are trying to avoid the busy tourist centers! Continually gave us the option to change our tour directions to meet our needs and wants. 10/10 recommend!"
"We booked our tour with Dionysis and very much appreciated his flexibility in adjusting the schedule once we had some conflicting opportunities for our last day in Athens! He has a wide range of knowledge on history, culture and anthropology, and we especially appreciated the dive into Greek mythology! Our only suggestion would be to stick to 3 hours maximum as we got to a point of feeling a but overwhelmed with all the information. And while adding lunch is a nice touch, it added a lot of time and took us into an area of Athens that we were less interested in. We would have wanted an option to just peel off and head back to our neighborhood for lunch. But thanks so much for a great educational and interesting experience!"
"Our family really enjoyed the time we spent with Dionysis. He went out of his way to show us all around Athens, answering all of our questions and giving us so much food for thought. He was incredibly knowledgeable, in fact, the only question he couldn’t answer was about tree identification- understandable as it’s not his expertise! We ended the tour with a sunset view of the Acropolis, and a recommendation for a restaurant that blew us away with good food and hospitality. I’d recommend a tour with Dionysis to anyone who values history and has a curious mind! "
"We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Evanthia. She had an incredible sense of humor, told a vivid story and made us all feel involved. She really went the extra mile to make sure we had the best tour possible. It was wonderful to have a private guide and I highly recommend Evanthia for a day at the Acropolis! Thank you!"
"We had a great guided tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with Alex. He was very engaging, knowledgeable and so effortlessly brought ancient history and Greek mythology to life. He also helped us understand the significance of the museum and its connection to the Acropolis, something we might not have fully appreciated on our own. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a meaningful visit."
"Evanthia exceeded our expectations! We hoped that we would come away with a better understanding of the Acropolis and she not only provided the facts and stories, but also shared the passion and caring that the Greeks have for their history. She also did a great job of balancing details and historical significance without overwhelming our capacity to absorb the information provided. We strongly recommend Evanthia for anyone wanting to maximize their time at the Acropolis."
"Alex was so patient, kind, knowledgeable and provided such an informative private tour for our family with three kids aged 8, 10, 12. Answered so many questions and made the tour of acropolis and the historical neighborhood so good. I highly highly recommend. "
