"Costas was a wealth of knowledge. I think we could have enjoyed his company and learned from him for many more hours. He taught us so much about the Acropolis past and present. He is a wonderful guide and this was the most educational tour we had here in Athens. Highly recommended."
"This tour was not only filled with great food options and generous portions but Nikolas made it entertaining and educational as well. We tried so many savory and sweet options from traditional breakfast items to savory favorites to street treats. Don't hesitate to book this tour with Nikolas. "
"Alex was a great guide for the Acropolis and museum. He was very knowledgeable and shared wonderful stories to help make the experience very real for us. He had a really good mix of being knowledgeable and being able to break it down into understandable concepts for those of us with little memory of our history classes. It was a fun morning. "

Amazing Athens
"We had an excellent tour with Ioannis. He showed us so much that we would have missed walking around on our own. He was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the city in which he has lived for many years. He was lovely company and we didn't feel rushed. He was very happy to show us what we wanted to see. We were a group of 4 girls having a weekend away and we came away feeling like we saw a true side of Athens. Thankyou Ioannis."
"Dimitris is a great person, like hanging out with an old freind. Tailored stops to our taste. Perfect amount of food for us, and snacks for later. Highly recommend!"
"We spent a beautiful afternoon in Athens with John- we had asked to do an \"off the beaten path tour\" of Athens to get a sense of the city without the crowds and John delivered beautifully! \nWe walked through side alleys full of beautiful restaurants, high end thrift stores, bakeries, coffee shops and more. We are a very curious group and thoroughly enjoyed Johns wealth of knowledge including Greek history, local lore and current events. We explored parts of the city we would not have found on our own and got a true local taste of the city. Highlight was the farmers markets, where locals shop for produce, seafood and meats. \nA very special afternoon we highly recommend - five stars!!"
