Experience the best of
Athens with Withlocals

"Ioannis gave us a great introduction to the area around the acropolis allowing us to later journey on our own with insight we would not otherwise have had. He is kind and patient, and his passion for Athens was obvious with every step. "

"Thomas was an outstanding guide who brought Athens to life with his warmth, knowledge and enthusiasm. He shared great stories and knowledge of history, pointed out hidden gems and made sure every stop was meaningful. He rose to the challenge to fit everything in and went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our interests. From the buzz of the Monastiraki markets to peaceful churches and a tucked-away Cycladic-style neighborhood, every part of the tour felt special. We finished at Athens Cathedral, our legs tired but our hearts full. Thomas’s passion for his city and thoughtful approach made this an unforgettable experience."

"Alexandros is an excellent guide with a deep knowledge of Greek history. "

"We loved our tour with Alex! We learned so much and enjoyed his company. He adjusted the tour based on where we had already visited which was impressive to me (felt much less scripted and just unending knowledge down every street). "

"The short review is if you are after a private tour of the Acropolis then look no further than Markella. She was wondferful! The slightly longer version would be Markella is exactly what I hoped she would be. She really knows her stuff and not just about the Acropolis but Athens as a whole and Greece history from ancient times to the modern day. When it comes to Acropolis there is so much history, particularly in the museum, that you could spend a life time reading up on it. Markella condensed it down to the most important and salient parts while having the knowledge to expand on anything of particular interest to us. Weave all the knowledge into a wonderful way of telling us the story and I can think of no better person to show you around. "

"We can't imagine a better guide than Ioannis to get us acquainted with Athens. He was extremely friendly and insightful. He shared special places with us that we would have been unlikely to discover on our own. Ioannis also provided an exceptional perspective that balanced history with information about modern Athens. Would highly recommend Ioannis! "
