Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We spent about six hours with Ioannis starting in Athens, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. Our goal was to get outside the city and experience Greece like a local—and he delivered that and more. He took us along the stunning Sounion coast to see the Temple of Poseidon, then brought us to a truly non-touristy restaurant right on the water for lunch. The food was hands-down the best and most authentic we had during our 2+ weeks traveling through Italy and Greece, with a beautiful view to match. Ioannis was delightful, engaging, and incredibly personable. He even surprised us with a quick visit to his adorable mother-in-law who insisted we pick some fruit from her lovely garden. He showed us how to drink ouzo properly (delicious!) and had the loveliest conversations—it felt warm, genuine, and completely unplanned in the best way. We started our trip with a week in Rome, followed by a 7-day cruise, and ended with four days in Athens, and our time with Ioannis truly stood out as a special, memorable experience. If you want to see Greece beyond the guidebooks and spend time with someone who genuinely loves sharing his country, we couldn’t recommend him more."
"We (2 adults, 18 yo, 12 yo) met Arianna and had an excellent tour of the Acropolis and the museum. It’s important to start early and we came at a slow time which made it an uncrowded experience. We had prepared ourselves with some background information about Greek/Athenian history and that helped us understand what we were seeing. The museum is fantastic and made me understand some cultural bias I’ve had my whole life: the “Elgin marbles” should be referred to as “Parthenon marbles”. The museum destroys the previous argument that there’s no safe place for them outside the British Museum. "

"We (2 adults, 18 yo and 12 yo) drove from Athens to Cape Sounion in a roomy van. Nikos checked in advance and knew of a Santa run in downtown Athens so we met a couple of blocks from the hotel to avoid closed roads. He’s just completed an archeology degree and is extremely up to date on that information. We ate at a place he knew and it was one of our best meals. He showed us an ancient silver mine and reviewed the way the ore was handled, including a sluice that recycled freshwater. "
"Thomas met us at our hotel and he took us to some amazing out of the way places south of Athens on the coast. He had drinks, snacks, his mom’s homemade Christmas cookies (amazing). He brought umbrellas and a knee brace for my wife, who had hurt her knee. We saw private beaches, a volcanic lake and a seaside chapel. We saw the monument and had dinner at a beautiful gyro shop on the way home. I give Thomas and his tour 10 out of 10. It was an amazing and informative day. "
"Costas provided a wonderful overview of the Parthenon, all the while, explaining all of the history behind everything we were seeing. We enjoyed the pacing of the tour and were amazed at the amount of knowledge Costas conveyed while keeping every detail connected."
"We had a great afternoon with John, he kept the whole family engaged and we saw details in buildings and monuments we had already walked past that we never would’ve seen without him. My 11 and 13 yo boys had a great time. Thoroughly recommend a few hours with the antiquarian! "
"We had a fabulous day with nikos! He was very responsive and accommodating. Excellent explanations, very personable and worked with our timing and interests. "
"We had a wonderful afternoon at the acropolis and museum. Prompt response. Accommodating. Knowledgable. Courteous and friendly. "
"Evanthia took us on the half day acropolis slopes and museum tour. She was super friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. We loved every minute. Evanthia paced it very well and was enthusiastic in answering all of our questions. I can't praise her highly enough and would definitely recommend her to others. "
"We did 2 tours with Nikos back-to-back. We went to Cape Sounio and Delphi. Both trips were amazing and beyond my expectations. Nikos was a fantastic guide. He accommodated all of our needs/requests and provided us with a wealth of information and history. I would book another tour with Nikos when I return to Greece. "
