Uncover the best of Athenian Art the local Way

"Markella had good reviews and I picked her because she is a licensed tour guide (only licensed guides can go into the Acropolis to give tours.) But my family of five (with two teens and a pre-teen) was blown away by what a fantastic guide she was. She really maximized our efficiency in the museum and in the Acropolis itself, and she was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and kind. Plus, she kept us all interested for the whole 3 hours! When she finished, my family kept commenting to me about how wonderful she was. I STRONGLY recommend booking with Markella. "

"The tour with Dionysis was terrific. Wit was fun and we learned so much!! So much history and mythology that I was expecting! We were so glad we did our tour with him first before visiting the Acropolis because he gave such context and history that enabled us to better understand and appreciate it, and many other things around the city, when we saw them. Loved that it was a private tour so we set the pace and asked as many questions as we wanted. Terrific experience! "

"Our tour was perfect. John tailored it to my husband's exact preferences (a blend of Greek mythology and architecture - but also so much more!) and was always checking if we wanted more or less info on any particular topic. In a short space of time, we learnt so much. His depth of historical knowledge is something you'd find hard to rival. Informative, fun, courteous, I really can't say enough good things. John went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic time; and we did!"

"We had some amazing and enriching hours at the Acropolis and museum with Markella, who was very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with during the three hours we had booked. We experienced all the highlights – both from the Acropolis itself and the museum, which has a fascinating layout. Between all the myths and stories, there was also time for great conversations about Athens, Greece, and much more. We highly recommend booking a local guide – and especially Markella!"

"Our half day with John was much appreciated by the entire family. John has in depth knowledge about history, mythology and Greek society and the ability to present and discuss it in a natural way and answered every little question with interest and commitment. We didn't now it in advance, but hanging out with John, turned out to be the most appreciated activity during our five days in Athens. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Don't miss out on this! "

"Alex gave us an amazing tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum. Make no mistake about it, it’s quite a climb up the hill and we had some trepidation about it. But Alex paced us so there were plenty of chances to catch our breath as he talked about what we were seeing and all the history. Next thing we knew, we’d made it to the top. Amazing view and amazing history. So glad we did the trip, and even happier we did it with Alex- we really enjoyed our time with him!"

"Alex is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide. He very cleverly took us through the history of the Acropolis with very helpful images of the Acropolis throughout time. The Acropolis museum is a masterpiece- and a beautiful introduction but it would be overwhelming without an expert guide. Alex gave us wonderful insights into how ancient Greek culture influences modern Athens and the rest of the world. We finished our tour at dusk when the soldiers lowered the Greek flag. There were not many people around and it absolutely beautiful. "

"The walking tour with Alexandros was one of the best tour during our trip to Athens. From the start, Alexandros was helpful in providing the logistics in securing the tickets to the slopes and museum. During the tour, he explained in great details of each point of significance along the path and stopped to allow time to refresh and take pictures. Our family truly enjoyed the tour with Alexandros and would recommend him highly should anyone need a guide to visit the Acropolis. The last but not the least was the delicious seafood restaurant he recommended. 😋😋😋"
