Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I’ve been to Athens before, but Thomas gave me fresh insights into places I’d been before and introduced me to spots I had never seen. His deep love of history really came through, and he was easy company — friendly, engaging, and with a great sense of pace. A thoroughly enjoyable way to experience the city."
"We enjoyed our tour with Dimitris so much. First of all you will eat and eat and eat and always be happy with what you’re eating. We really appreciated the family run and independent and specialty places he took us for traditional and delicious Greek food. We also enjoyed his company. He was happy to answer questions about the culture and society. "
"Makram was kind and knowledgeable. He shows us many interesting places that we otherwise would never have found on our own. "
"Yorgos combined his love of history, Greek culture and compassion for the city Athens into a wonderful tour. His relaxed and friendly style made learning about Athens fun. He responded to all our questions so we were able to get a feeling for life in Athens both ancient and modern. He also adapted the tour to respond to our personal interests. Highly recommend this tour and Yorgos as a guide."
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!

"We asked for off the beaten track and Voula really delivered. We walked through neighborhoods that we would have never found on our own and were exposed to great street graffiti art. Voula was able to explain how Athens has grown and changed over the years - some for the better and some for the not so great. She knows Athens ! "
"Filled with Mythology stories to help explain why things were where they are"
"Spectacular! We saw and experienced Athens truly through a local who shared parts of the city we would have never seen! Ioannis was so knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and so kind! "
"Ioannis gave us an experience of Athens above and beyond what we had expected. He is a charming - thoughtful and an immensely talented and informed Guide - who just loves his City - his culture and everything Greek. We were entertained - informed - surprised and amazed at all he was able to show us. He was extremely generous with his time and very comfortable in his surroundings - we were so pleased that our first evening in Athens was spent in the company of Ioannis - Thank you - you are an incredible Guide and an amazing ambassador for your City and Country."
