Experience City Tours in Athens with Withlocals

"Ioannis was the perfect guide. His initial greeting was gracious and welcoming. I had written to him before the tour to inform him that I required a slow pace and occasional rest stops. He crafted the perfect walking tour for these old bones. It was clear from his commentary that he loved his country and he loved showing it off to visitors. I would most definitely recommend him highly. "

"Ioannis was great very knowledgable and very helpful for suggestions for what to see and where to eat. "

"We had an amazing time with Markella on our tour. She is a wealth of information on all things Greek and Athenian.we even managed an excellent souvlaki following her recommendation. Thank you ."

"Trying to keep two teenage girls engaged during a three hour tour is not easy, but John absolutely crushed it! Both of our daughters and my wife and I left with smiles on our faces wishing we had even more time to learn from John. He was incredibly knowledgeable and super engaging and fun with the entire family. In fact, here we are a day later, sitting at breakfast and still talking about how that was the best tour we’ve ever had. Would highly recommend him to anyone considering this tour!"

"John was the perfect guide. He is so knowledgeable, personable, friendly, accommodating, and just plain fun. We were a family of 4 with a 9 and 11 year old. John treated them with respect and at just the right level for them. They LOVED the tour and him, as did us adults. I wish John could guide us on all our trips in Greece. He was everything I look for in a guide."

"The best personal one on one tour to learn about the city first day landing. Irini is lovely!!! She has an amazing genuine persona. My teenage kids loved the tour and info. Definitely do it first thing in the morning."

"Our group of 4 took the History of Athens, Greek Mythology Tour with John and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We leaned so so much about Greek Mythology that we did not know and how it has influenced Athens. John did a great job explaining things on our level and he was so engaging in the way he presented the information. It was a fantastic way to introduce ourselves to the city at the beginning of our stay. Highly recommend this tour and John!"

"We found Ioannis to be both very knowledgeable and passionate about his home city! It was a pleasure to be in his company and to see parts of Athens through his eyes and experiences. We asked for a mixture of local street art, mythology and to explore areas “off the beaten track”! This was truly delivered, with both charm and wit. Thank you!"

"Ioannis was amazing! He shared history, funny stories and brought us to places we would have never discovered on our own. He even engaged my teenage boys with the history and myths. He adjusted the tour to what we were interested in and showed us truly local off the beaten path things. This tour was worth every penny do not hesitate to book with Ioannis. This was hands down the best tour we have ever taken and was a tremendous value. "

"It was a little surprising to travel half way around the world and find a kindred spirit, but I think that is one of John’s gifts. He knows how to connect with people and then use that connection to share his vast knowledge of all things Greek including mythology, history, culture and cuisine. He guided us for two days and we learned so much, but more importantly we experienced Athens on another level. He took us to places we would have never found on our own and even if we did we would not have access. My daughters are particularly interested in mythology and he made learning come to life. He also takes great pictures! We will treasure the memories of moments shared for years to come. We decided to book with John based on the reviews of others, and now we are adding our own review. We would give him a 12 out of 10 rating if we could! Book John as your guide. You will not be disappointed!"
