"We really enjoyed our walking tour with Ioannis who is a great raconteur. We enjoyed the stories the history, the mythology and the magic of Athens through local eyes. Thank you Ioannis we look forward to next years tour already ! "
"Thomas is a highly communicative & passionate guide. He was great not only during the tour but also prior to work out exactly what we were after and tailor our experience. He’s also a lovely person. Highly recommended! "
"Our tour was perfect. John tailored it to my husband's exact preferences (a blend of Greek mythology and architecture - but also so much more!) and was always checking if we wanted more or less info on any particular topic.
In a short space of time, we learnt so much. His depth of historical knowledge is something you'd find hard to rival.
Informative, fun, courteous, I really can't say enough good things. John went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic time; and we did!"
"Knowledgeable, charming. A pleasure to spend a few hours getting our bearings in Athens. Evanthia also gave us some restaurant and cafe suggestions for the rest of our stay. Highly recommend her as a guide "
"Dionysus was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and monuments but also peppered the tour with anecdotes and facts/trivia that made the information memorable. He was also very open about discussing present day Athens. He didn’t walk to fast or to slow. Definitely adapted to our pace. He even sent us recommendations for the neighborhood we are staying in and obviously listened to what we were interested in. Highly recommend."
"I am traveling with my two granddaughters, both in their early twenties, and wanted an engaging tour that would introduce us to Athens and its history. At the same time, I didn’t want an intense tour. Eva’s tour met my goals 100%. We all really enjoyed discovering the hidden parts of Athens as well as exploring the Ancient Agora. Eva is engaging and interesting - tough to do with a diverse group like the three of us. Highly recommended! "
"We loved our private tour with Dionysis. We all have an interest ancient history and have studied it at different levels. Dionysis answered every question with detail. He had deep knowledge about absolutely everything related to Athens, and the greater greco-roman world, and how that world connected through to Modern Athens. Highly recommend if you want an expert who is also fun, and engaging."
"Eleni gave us an informative personalized tour of Athens. She provided interesting historical context mixed with the ins and outs of various off the beaten path neighborhoods."
