Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Tatialena was great. Good stories, very knowledgeable, humorous and genuine. We saw Athens in a new light. We saw things only locals know about. "
"It was clear from early on in the tour how knowledgeable and passionate Manos is about his city and country. He was honest in his interpretations and a true scholar of Greek history. For our group of six, he was careful to hold everyone’s attention and answer all questions. We all walked away with a much better appreciation of Greek culture. The food and drink we sampled was wonderful and plentiful. "
"Eva was fantastic. She brought great energy and a love of her country. She created a tour that included everything we asked for and was very responsive to our needs. We loved her stories. The place she recommended for dinner was fantastic. I would highly recommend her. "
"Costas was an excellent guide. He was a great story teller and painted a picture of Ancient Greece that was captivating. His knowledge was impressive and there was no question we asked that he couldn't answer. I highly recommend him for both the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. "
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Athens, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Athens spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Athens.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Athens, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Athens awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Athens, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Athens. Get ready to explore like a local!

"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! "
