Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Arianna gave my mother and I a wonderful tour of the Acropolis and museum. She has a deep knowledge of the history and connected many historical facts to modern times via Greek language. Going to see this important site would have been almost pointless without her guiding what we were seeing and its significance to ancient Athenian culture. Having her give the highlights of the museum was especially helpful as there are so many artifacts it would be hard to know which to focus on. To top things off she gave us a great recommendation for local gyros and snacks! Highly recommend Arianna to make your Acropolis visit educational and memorable. "
"From start to finish, Evanthia made our tour unforgettable. Her extensive knowledge brought every detail to life, while her warm, personable approach made us feel genuinely welcomed. She was incredibly accommodating, going out of her way to help us and adapt to our group's needs. Beyond being informative, she kept us entertained throughout—her passion for sharing the experience was infectious. Evanthia is exactly the kind of guide who transforms a good tour into a truly memorable one. Highly recommended!"
"Arianna guided us on a tour of the acropolis Hill and the acropolis Museum. Her knowledge of the history and architecture of the Acropolis is astounding. Over the course of five hours she was never at a loss for interesting descriptions and historical background of the things we were seeing. She happily and thoroughly answered every question that we had and she was able to keep our teenagers engaged the entire time. She is tireless and very professional. Highly recommended."

"We were on the Mythology tour with John, and it was a highlight of our time in Athens. He kept the tour fun, engaging, and highly informative. The pacing was great, he made modifications for what we were interested in, and kept us entertained. My 70-year-old parents raved about it when it was over, and my 14 year old was all smiles. We highly recommend John! "
"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! "
"We loved our tour with Costas. Not only was he knowledgeable about ancient and current Greece but he also had lots of knowledge about plants and music. He taught us how to read Greek and would relate the words back to their English counterparts. It made the tour super interesting and we learned so much! We would definitely recommend Costas! "
"Arianna is simply amazing. I would be very surprised if anyone knows as much as she does about the Acropolis. She is incredibly knowledgeable and delightful to be around as well. She has a great personality and is quick witted too, so overall our tour was wonderful! I would 100% recommend Arianna for The Acropolis Tour! "
"Markella is a good story-teller. She managed to condense and convey clearly centuries of history into a one intriguing 3 hour walking tour and museum. Very warm and engaging lady. Bravo. And if you want to enjoy the Acropolis, you must also visit the museum right after the ruins. The museum is awe-inspiring. "
"Our tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with Alexandros was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we met, his passion for Greek history and his ability to weave a compelling narrative made the ancient world feel remarkably vivid. The highlight of the experience was the seamless connection he drew between the museum and the site itself. Alexandros provided a fascinating deep dive into the architecture of the Acropolis Museum, specifically pointing out how the top floor is glass-walled and set in the exact dimensions and orientation of the Parthenon. Seeing the original friezes positioned precisely as they would have been in antiquity—while looking directly out at the temple itself—offered a perspective we never would have gained on our own. The walk to the summit was equally impressive. Alexandros is a fantastic storyteller, enriching the climb with historical context and architectural details that made reaching the Parthenon feel like a true culmination of the day’s journey. If you are looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, engaging, and deeply insightful, we cannot recommend Alexandros highly enough."
"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! "
