"I’ve been to Athens before, but Thomas gave me fresh insights into places I’d been before and introduced me to spots I had never seen. His deep love of history really came through, and he was easy company — friendly, engaging, and with a great sense of pace. A thoroughly enjoyable way to experience the city."
"We enjoyed our tour with Dimitris so much. First of all you will eat and eat and eat and always be happy with what you’re eating. We really appreciated the family run and independent and specialty places he took us for traditional and delicious Greek food. We also enjoyed his company. He was happy to answer questions about the culture and society. "

"We asked for off the beaten track and Voula really delivered. We walked through neighborhoods that we would have never found on our own and were exposed to great street graffiti art. Voula was able to explain how Athens has grown and changed over the years - some for the better and some for the not so great. She knows Athens ! "
"Filled with Mythology stories to help explain why things were where they are"
