"We booked Vasiliki for a food tour and a wine tasting and we loved both experiences. Vasiliki was passionate about Athens and was keen to show us all aspects of the city from the old to new.
The food and the wine were excellent and she couldn't do enough for us.
We'd recommend both tours and Vasiliki in particular.
Thanks again!"

"Georgia provided us with a great experience in Athens. She is very knowledgeable about the local cuisine and created a perfect itinerary for our needs. The pace of the tour was well set and the time passed much too quickly because we were so engaged in the process. She has a very positive demeanor and we enjoyed her company immensely.
Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience.

"We spent Christmas in Athens and wanted one day outside the city. We chose the trip to Cape Sounion and Nikos because of his interest in history and archaeology. Because of the time of the year, we were not interested in a beach stop but wanted a coastal drive and munch in a local restaurant. We also asked him to suggest anything else of interest in the area. He collected us from our hotel at 9.30 a.m. The drive to Cape Sounion was stunningly beautiful. On the way, he provided interesting information about ancient and modern Athens. He was very easy to talk to, and we enjoyed the conversation. At Sounion ,we had all the time we wanted to explore the temple precinct, soak up the atmosphere and marvel at the play of sea, distant mountains and light. Afterwards , he took us to the ancient silver mines in Lavrio. This area was new to us. Nikos gave us detailed explanations of the history of the area, the ancient mining processes and also showed us the stone theatre. Afterwards, we went to a small taverna for an excellent local. lunch . We arrived back at the hotel shortly before five.
Nikos was an exceedingly pleasant and knowledgeable companion. He was thoughtful and understanding of my reduced mobility and completely fulfilled all our expectations for the day.

She was very personable, making sure everyone was able to enjoy the food and was able to try the foods they were interested in! Not only was she a great food tour guide, she was very kind and knowledgeable!

"Ioannis provided the perfect tour of the coastal area, tailoring it to what I was interested in seeing and doing. I think the best part is that he is a really great guy. He’s interesting and funny.

He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Athens and its history. His perspective from a life in the city added greatly to the tour and is exactly why I was looking for."
