Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My colleagues and I had an amazing experience at the Agora, with Ioannis as our guide. He shared fascinating stories about the historical area and took us to a hidden spot known mostly to locals, where we enjoyed a stunning view of the Acropolis — even more magical at night. I went back with 2 colleagues to have dinner on my last night in Athens. Absolutely 10/10 recommend him for anyone visiting!"
"One of the highlights of our trip to Athens was our time with Markella. She was so knowledgeable about the Acropolis. She was very engaging and presented the information in a way we could understand. Markella was wonderful!!! "
"Our family really enjoyed the time we spent with Dionysis. He went out of his way to show us all around Athens, answering all of our questions and giving us so much food for thought. He was incredibly knowledgeable, in fact, the only question he couldn’t answer was about tree identification- understandable as it’s not his expertise! We ended the tour with a sunset view of the Acropolis, and a recommendation for a restaurant that blew us away with good food and hospitality. I’d recommend a tour with Dionysis to anyone who values history and has a curious mind! "
"Evanthia exceeded our expectations! We hoped that we would come away with a better understanding of the Acropolis and she not only provided the facts and stories, but also shared the passion and caring that the Greeks have for their history. She also did a great job of balancing details and historical significance without overwhelming our capacity to absorb the information provided. We strongly recommend Evanthia for anyone wanting to maximize their time at the Acropolis."
"Markella is so very friendly, she met us with a big smile & a welcome to Greece. She is very passionate about her country, which was lovely to hear. Her knowledge of Greek history/mythology was superb! She explained things in good detail and surprised us with lots of facts. If we'd gone on our own to the Acropolis, we'd have missed so many vital facts & information. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Markella, you truly made our experience so much better."
"Tatialena is great. Full of energy and knowledge and knows great places for traditional Greek cuisine. Just is a terrific person to be around. "
"We loved our food tour with Voula! She was knowledgeable and very friendly, as she took us around and shared with us different food parts of Athens. The food we tasted was delicous. The whole experience got us excited for the rest of our trip in Athens. Highly recommend!"
"Markella was extremely knowledgeable about Ancient Greek history and Greek mythology, and explained everything with clarity and genuine passion. She brought the stories to life and made the experience both engaging and memorable. Beyond her historical expertise, she also gave excellent local recommendations, pointing to the right spots for an authentic freddo cappuccino and the best loukoumades. Her insights added real value and made the experience feel truly local and well curated."
"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."
