Experience Art & Culture Tours in Athens with Withlocals

"Markella was an excellent guide for our tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. She not only shared key historical anecdotes and key facts; she also did a great job with the wide range of questions from adults and 5 kids/tweens/teens alike. Markella went out of her way to make things fun and engaging for the range of ages (9-15 years old for the kids), including having activities that would help make the history come alive for them. She allowed the 9 year old to act as her aide to share his knowledge of Greek mythology, which he particularly enjoyed. Markella also checked in with the adults to ask if we thought a snack stop was needed for the kids during the transition from the Acropolis to the museum. When the kids’ energy was flagging, she pulled a couple of rabbits from her hat with key features from the museum that they particularly enjoyed. All of the adults (there were 4 of us) really enjoyed Markella’s breadth of knowledge and appreciated gaining her perspectives on the excellent design of the museum, all of which enhanced our experience.

"Arianna is an upbeat and very knowledgeable guide. She has so much knowledge and she shares it enthusiastically! We learned so much from her about Greek history. She made the experience interesting and we genuinely enjoyed our time with her. She went out of her way and spent extra time to explain everything we saw. We would definitely booklet her again!"

"Alex gave us a fantastic tour of the Acropolis museum & site. We were with our 3 teenage children & we really enjoyed it. We started in the museum which I would recommend as it’s laid out to mirror the actual site & he spent lots of time with us there explaining the different buildings and interesting artefacts & telling us some v entertaining myths associated. He is obviously extremely knowledgeable but with a very light & entertaining style which made the tour v relaxed. He then brought us through the site itself and nicely reminded us & brought together whet we had learnt & seen in the museum which really brought the ruins to life. He was extremely patients and gave us lots of time & we even had time to stop for coffees and ice creams and a lovely chat about Athenian life between the museum & the site. Thanks again Alex 😀"

"Costa was great and very informed about the area and its surroundings. It was nice to purchase the tickets in advance, skip a bunch of the lines, and see more of Athens. It was a great tour with a lot of great information. "

"Costas was very easy to communicate with before the tour; he met us promptly at our prearranged meeting point. The tour of the Acropolis included an initial 2hrs in the Acropolis Museum, during which Costas took us through the history of the site and proved to be incredibly well informed on every aspect; he then took us up on to the slopes of the Acropolis for an hour to show us the real thing. Both parts of the tour knitted together perfectly and we left with a feeling that we had been fully immersed in Greek and Athenian history. Thank you Costas "

"We had a very nice experience with Markella. She knew a lot of history and gave us great highlights of the Acropolis and museum. "

"Evanthia was a superlative guide and delightful person! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her on the Acropolis and in the adjacent Museum. Her expertise in archeology was evident in her fascinating explanations, and her passion for the grand history of Greek culture was captivating. There is nothing like a personal guide to make history come alive! I have already recommended her to two other friends on their way to explore Greece in the next two months, and you can be sure we will contact her again on our next trip to Athens! "

"We had a great tour of the Acropolis with Arianna. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and gave us a great kick off for our visit to Athens. We would happily take this tour again! "

"Arianna has a wealth of knowledge about Greek history, she is sharing a lot of information during the tour, perfect for people who want to learn about Greek History. She was also very generous with her time and gave us a comprehensive tour of the Museum after visiting Acropolis. She is very organized and made sure we had everything ready for the tour ahead of time. "

"I warned Alex in advance that I was bringing a mythology and history major with me … he did not disappoint! He did an amazing job of bringing the Acropolis and Parthenon to life and had all the mythological tea to spill on the gods and goddesses. Truly an education and also highly entertaining. He can do it all and is an absolute delight to spend a day with. Bonus - he brings pictures making it so easy for your imagination to keep up with the story telling. And, he knows all the good photo spots. PS trust him when he gently insists on real tennis shoes. "
