Experience the best of
Athens with Withlocals

"Alexandros was an excellent guide who brought us and our 4 children around the acropolis and acropolis museum. He taught us so much about the history of the acropolis, the gods and goddesses and the origins of each building. He made it interesting for our younger kids too. A super tour!"

"Ioannis was fantastic. He met us on time, showed us so much of the city that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen. He was so knowledgeable, his story telling was incredibly engaging. He answered all our questions and we were totally captured from start to finish. He clearly has such a passion for his city. We would 100% recommend. "

"Georgia was absolutely wonderful. She is knowledgeable, smart and funny. She set the pace for us, knowing we are in our early eighties. We learned so much about Athens and Greece. Our time with Georgia was the highlight of our stay in Athens. "

"We took the 10 Tastings of Athens tour with Vasiliki. She was an amazing guide. She met us at our hotel, and showed us a lot of very interesting places on our tour. The food stops that we made were all amazing. We definitely recommend taking a tour with her!"

"Goed vibes, good food, we loved it! "

"John is an excellent tour guide, who was also able to connect and personalize the tour for our 14 yo daughter. You won’t be disappointed."

"Along with extensive knowledge of the history behind various ancient sites, Alexandros shared visual aids of what the sites looked like in their day. He shared myths connected to the sites that gave a real sense of the beliefs of the ancient Greeks. He was considerate of us and good to walk with. "

"Through a hotel error we suddenly had some time to fill in Athens and John came to our rescue with his Cape Sounio & Temple of Poseidon tour. A prompt response, he let us know when he would be arriving and then gave us an afternoon of pure fun. Story telling, sightseeing, coffee of course, restaurant recommendations, huge yachts, Gods, lakes - and then the temple of course. Through yet another hotel error we had to cut our lovely tour short but John,you were brilliant and we really enjoyed your tour so big thanks 🤩 "

"We had an amazing time doing the 10 tastings tour with Vasiliki! She was very knowledgeable and friendly and took us to some excellent locations. We had a great time touring the city, ate delicious food, and learned a lot while doing so. I would highly recommend booking a tour with her; she'll be the first person I reach out to when we come back to Athens!"

"Without a doubt, the best decision I made in Athens was to book tours through “with locals”! Costas was a fabulous guide for our 3-generation-family on our visit to the acropolis museum and acropolis! We visited at the end of September and it was hot! With guidance from Costas we booked a mid-afternoon tour of the museum first and then finished on the acropolis site in the last session of the afternoon where we enjoyed a setting sun, less crowds and less heat. I would recommend this order of visit to others as in the museum Costas explained the acropolis site, significance, history and mythology. This meant that when we finally visited the acropolis site we had a much better understanding of what we were looking at! With Costas as our guide we were able to search for the artefacts that we had just seen up close in the museum and appreciate the engineering, design, and symbolism so much more. Costas is a fabulous storyteller who shared his extensive knowledge with us and made the acropolis come alive! He was very adaptive and was able to engage my whole family (teenagers, parents and grandparents). He led us to parts of the museum that engaged to children and through his storytelling and explanations left us all with a deep understanding of the beauty, history and significance of this amazing site. Thankyou Costas! You were a highlight of our trip and we feel very fortunate that we were able to discover the Acropolis with you! "
