Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We did a tour of the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis with Evanthia, and we’re so glad we did. We were a family of two adults and two older teenagers, 15 and 17, and she managed to keep all four of us engaged throughout the tour. We also chose on purpose to visit the museum first and the Acropolis afterward, starting at the museum around 5:00 p.m. For us, that worked really well. By the time we headed up to the Acropolis later in the day, it was much more pleasant, and having already seen and learned about so much in the museum made the site itself even more meaningful. Evanthia is a great storyteller and shared so much of the history in a way that was interesting and easy to follow, rather than just feeling like a list of dates and facts. One thing we especially loved was the way she found little ways to make us part of the stories she was telling. I won’t spoil it for future visitors, but she gave each of us a role along the way, which made it much easier, and a lot more fun, to keep track of the gods, stories, and connections. She was also lovely to spend time with and made a real effort to engage our teenagers and include them in the conversation. They both said afterward that they really enjoyed the tour and were glad we had done it, which says a lot. And an unexpected bonus was how many photos Evanthia took of us along the way. I think this may be the first family trip where we actually came home with so many nice pictures of all four of us together. Really happy we chose Evanthia. She made both the Acropolis and the museum much more meaningful for us, and I’d definitely recommend her, especially to families traveling with older kids or teenagers."
"From the minute we met Alex we felt welcomed and knew we were in the right hands. Alex is knowledgeable and his passion for the Acropolis and Greek history is infectious. He had both of my boys intrigued and catered the tour towards them, weaving the tales of Greek mythology throughout the relics in the museum and then connected this through to our exploration of the archaeological site at the Acropolis itself. He was friendly and patient with my boys, allowing for multiple bathroom and water breaks for them too. My husband and I have toured the Acropolis previously, but it was no where near as magical as being guided by Alex. We had such a wonderful time and would highly recommend Alex to anyone wanting to experience Athens with both a friend and a guide. "

"Markella took a group of 5 of us on a 3 hour tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon and the Acropolis museum. Markella is very knowledgeable of all periods of Greek history and has lots of stories to tell about the Parthenon and surrounding buildings and how the history links with the buildings and the archeological finds. She covered the Greek gods, the battle of Marathon, Persian wars, the Spartans and ancient Athenians, Roman emperor Hadrian and much more. Really interesting. If you are looking for a private tour, you could not do better. Thank you"
"My family of 5, two adults and 3 kids ages 10, 13, 16 had a tour of Acropolis and museum with Evanthia in July. She was wonderful! She made experience very interesting and engaged the kids as at times the younger ones needed more attention. It was a bit crowded and Evanthia was very good at navigating the area and took amazing photos at just the right spots that we wouldn’t have known without her. I highly recommend Evanthia!"
"Our family of four (2 kids 9 and 11) had a wonderful tour with Markella! She was so engaging with the kids and knowledgeable about the history. She went at a speed that the group could handle and answered all of our questions. She is a lovely person and we highly recommend booking a tour with her! Wish we had more time in Athens to try a different tour with Markella as well!"
"Markella gave our family of 4 a great tour in Athens. Before our trip she helped me with the many questions I had about booking both the acropolis and the museum since you have to do this part yourself. She always responded in a timely manner. She was right on time for our tour and her english was very easy to understand. I would highly recommend booking any tour with Markella. "
"My daughter and I had a fabulous day exploring Napflio and seeing the Corinth Canal with Thomas. The day started with punctual pick up at our lodging. Thomas generously supplied us with a cooler of water and iced coffee for our journey. His knowledge and love of Greek history made the experience so rich. On top of our tour, he messaged us with so many recommendations for things to do, restaurants to try for our remaining days in Athens and Naxos. He truly went above and beyond and is just a lovely person to spend a day with. We highly recommend Thomas!"
"We had the most amazing day with Markella! She was incredibly knowledgable, professional and kind. Our whole day was measurably improved because of her education and guidance. I would HIGHLY recommend you book her for your Athens sightseeing. We could have never had such a productive and enjoyable day without a private guide. It money WELL spent! She was most excellent!"
"The group of people wanted to learn history and see the sites. Arianna knows everything!! She is bursting with enthusiasm for the culture, history, architectural knowledge and the connection between cultures and eras that was truly amazing. She added in her fun facts and personality that had us laughing. As a tour guide, 100% recommend Arianna for this tour. In addition, the Acropolis museum and the ruins it is built upon was also fantastic. The cafe provided some great sustenance before we tackled the museum. Be prepared for walking up hills and steps, Being in a lot of sun and with lots of other tourists. Arianna had us well prepared!! "
"We had a wonderful 3 hours at the acropolis and acropolis museum with Alexandria. He brought the acropolis of ancient times vibrantly to life with his descriptions and illustrations. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage daughters and were captivated by Alexandros’ stories of the ancient buildings and gods. We would highly recommend Alexandros for a tour of the acropolis."
