"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."
"Had an exceptional tour of Athens with Voula. Due to airline rerouting we arrived on the day of our scheduled tour after almost 36 hours in the air! Voula was easy to contact via text and very flexible in adjusting our start time. Once we arrived she immediately took us to a coffee shop and then began a great tour of the city. She was friendly, a great english speaker (much better than our Greek) and took us to all the key tourist stops, plus some hidden gems — always offering great insights on what we saw. Coming from the US, we thought her perspective on time line was funny. While we rarely see anything older than 1 hundred years, she referred to things 500 years old as “modern.” We had a truly great day, I had 17,000 steps and appreciated the continuous history lessons as we walked through the city. If you are coming to Athens, you couldn’t do better than having Voula take you around."

Hidden gems of Athens
"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."

"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 ! "
"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! "
