Uncover the best of Greek Gods the local Way

"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."

"Our overall experience was exceptional. From our first conversation, Thomas took the time to understand what we wanted and thoughtfully crafted an itinerary that included the iconic highlights of Athens while also incorporating several unique locations known primarily through his personal expertise. These special additions provided a deeper, more authentic perspective of Athens, its history, and its culture, giving us a much richer experience than we could have achieved on our own. Thomas is truly an ambassador for Greece. His passion, knowledge, and storytelling brought each destination to life and made the day both memorable and rewarding. If you are looking for an authentic Greek perspective and want to experience the country beyond the typical tourist attractions, I highly recommend Thomas. You will not be disappointed."

"Alex was a joy to travel with. He was punctual, kind, and had a great energy. He brought visual aids which enhanced the overall experience and helped with learning about the culture and history of Athens. He was especially helpful as our family photographer; and a great one at that. His food tour was exquisite; cheeses and olives and gyros all from small local shops gave us a truly authentic Greek experience. Alex is a must-have tour guide. "

"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!"

"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"

"Markella had an excellent tour. We learned so much. It’s well worth it. She speaks perfect English and had very good pictures of what the Acropolis looked like as well as very animated and descriptive stories."

"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!"

"Costas was a great guide and would highly recommend to friends and family. Knowledgeable- knew how to navigate heat and sun to allow for an enjoyable experience. Avoided the crowds. Also great with kids."

"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. "
