Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This was probably the best decision I could have made for our family trip to Athens! Evanthia is absolutely excellent! She brought history to life, she was very engaging, personable, funny, and an excellent entertainer! I loved the way she conducted our tour through the Acropolis and Museum! We had our two 18 year old children with us, and they absolutely loved it. She helped us all understand the connections between now and then as well as Greek Mythology and the reasoning behind these temples and sculptures! I have been to the Acropolis before, and we have been on many tours throughout Europe - and with Evanthia, I absolutely learned new things and truly am grateful for her."
"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."

"I booked Evanthia for a solo tour (it was the only time I had). The tour was great, she provided a wealth of information about the site and the museum. She had interesting stories and was able to walk us through the crowds and point out the highlights without getting caught up in a slow crawl. Sadly I only speak English, but hers is excellent, and so there was no question about understanding her. I highly recommend booking a tour with her."
"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"
"Arianna is very knowledgeable and spent a very generous amount of time with us. She weaves together a lot of interesting details of the history from the mythical stories of the gods involved, the brilliant architectural features, and the influence of Greek on our English language. My husband walks very slowly due and she was very patient. She even managed to arrange for him to use the elevator to go down. "
"Arianna was a wonderful guide at the Acropolis. She was warm, knowledgeable, and full of stories that really brought the history back to life. She was also very kind and patient with my parents, who walk slowly, which we truly appreciated. You can really feel that she is a true Athenian who loves her city and culture, and that made the tour even more special 🙏"
"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 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!"
"We had an amazing tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum with Arianna. She is warm, and very knowledgeable and engaging, taking the time to expertly share the history and mythology of the site, with a dollop of humour to boot! Highly recommended!"
"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!"
