"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! "
"We had the absolute pleasure of spending a day in Athens with Markella as our private guide, and she exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the experience was flawless.
Before our trip, I spent quite a bit of time researching guides and narrowing down the options. Markella stood out not only because of her excellent prior reviews but also because she is a licensed guide—a very important distinction in Greece, as only licensed guides are permitted to lead tours inside many historic sites. Her pre-trip communication was outstanding: timely, informative, and filled with helpful suggestions to help us make the most of our time in Athens.
During the tour, Markella was a joy to be with. Her English is excellent, and she instantly clicked with our group of four adults. We all appreciated the thoughtful flow of the day, the historical insights she shared, and her ability to smoothly navigate busy areas without making us feel rushed. Her deep knowledge of Greek history, mythology, and the city’s landmarks added so much richness to our experience.
What truly set Markella apart, though, was how she handled a sudden medical emergency late in the day. One of our group members experienced a heat-related episode, and Markella responded with calm confidence and care. She knew exactly where to go for help and stayed composed throughout the situation. Her professionalism and empathy made a huge difference in a moment that could have been overwhelming.
We would have given Markella a glowing review regardless—but her grace and competence during an unexpected crisis only reinforced that we had chosen the best possible guide. If you're considering a private tour in Athens, book Markella—you will be so glad you did!"

Thank you Costas
"Having only a few days in Athens we wanted to make the most of our time and experience. WithLocals had been recommended so I read up on reviews and felt confident choosing Costas as our guide for the Acropolis and museum ( for which you purchase tickets in addition to the tour guide cost) . He met us at the agreed time and location and the 3 hours we spent with him were wonderful. He’s lived in Athens all his life and was able to share the history of the Acropolis in such an interesting way. We definitely would not have experienced this had we been on our own. Thankyou ! "

A fantastic Athens tour with Alexandros
"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. "

Acropolis & Museum Tour
"We loved our tour with Kostas. He's so knowledgeable about Greek (& world) history as well as Greek mythology, we learned so many new things & came away with a richer understanding & deeper appreciation for Greek history & culture. He is very kind, professional, prompt & reliable. I would highly recommend booking w/Kosta, especially for those who are history &/or mythology buffs. "
"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. "

Incredibly informative tour
"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."
"Markella is an absolutely superb guide and made our tour of the Acropolis and the Parthenon a thoroughly fascinating and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. She has excellent English and a deep knowledge and love of history that kept us interested and entertained throughout the whole time. We would highly recommend Markella as a guide."
