The perfect tour
"Ioannis was informative and engaging, the 3 hours flew by. We saw everything we wanted to and so much more, only a local could show you these things. It was the perfect start to our Greek trip."
"We had a wonderful experience on this city tour. Dionysis was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the history and culture in a way that was both interesting and easy to follow. He was especially thoughtful and mindful of our family with small kids. making sure everyone was comfortable and keeping a relaxed pace throughout the tour. Highly recommended!"
"Markella gave us a wonderful tour of the Acropolis and museum. We were a group of 11 and our ages ranged from 9-50. Her stories kept everyone engaged and interested. We all learned so much about this remarkable place and its long history! She is very kind, friendly, and engaging. We highly recommend Markella! "
"My friend and I LOVED the tour with Manos. It was exactly what we wanted - something non-touristy where we really learned about Athens culture (today and in the past). Manos was warm and funny, answered all our questions with ease, and he really knows Athens inside and out. His knowledge is impressive. He gave great restaurant recommendations as well. 10/10, no notes! We highly recommend!"
"We had a wonderful experience with Eleni. She was very knowledgeable and we had a great connection right away. The tour included many important sites that we wanted to see and Eleni made it all for educational. When I was very personable and we felt like we had a friendship as well as a professional tour. "

Great afternoon in athens.
"We have been to Athens almost every year as we connect to the islands. We were lucky to have the tour with Dionysis to see areas of the city we have missed. We will definitely be visiting these areas again thanks to the tour! "
"Ioannis was well versed in the area, the art and the meaning behind the art. He was funny and informative. He adjusted his pace to accommodate all of us, and we saw areas we would not have seen without his tour. I highly recommend this tour!"
"We were on the Mythology tour with John, and it was a highlight of our time in Athens. He kept the tour fun, engaging, and highly informative. The pacing was great, he made modifications for what we were interested in, and kept us entertained. My 70-year-old parents raved about it when it was over, and my 14 year old was all smiles. We highly recommend John! "
