"Alexandros took us around Athens, pointing out things we might have missed or overlooked all while sharing a local’s knowledge of both the past and present Athens. Highly recommend. "
"We had a fantastic tour with Dionysis! He took us up and down streets we would have never seen all the while sharing stories about the historic sights AND the amazing street art. It was just the right pace to see everything, especially the amazing views of the Acropolis. Dionysis also shared so many stories about Greek mythology to bring to life what we were seeing. Highly recommend this tour!"
"If you want a tour about the history of Athens, mythology and a bit of fun, well John is your man. We had a fantastic time touring this beautiful city and learning how, and where, mythology touches the fabric of this city. We thought we knew mythology, but John gave us a PhD-level class. We loved every minute. "
"We had a fantastic morning out with Nikolas. The walking tour exceeded our expectations and we covered so much ground, saw all the key locations and many hidden gems. Nikolas was a great storyteller, sharing tales of modern and Ancient Greece, providing context that we couldn’t have achieved on our own. 5⭐️"
"Ioannis’ tour of Athens was highly recommended by our friends from the USA- and we now know why!
Ioannis was wonderful; as he was not only knowledgeable and loves his home city of Athens, we could tell he loves traveling and helping tourists to enjoy Athens- and all the highlights and “hidden gems” he pointed out. While the tour was set for a specific timeframe, Ioannis went above and beyond and allowed for breaks for one member of our group who was medically fragile requiring a slower tour… and he allowed time for us sit down for midday refreshing drinks and a snack. He particularly shared all he knew about the history of Athens and the better restaurants that we would’ve otherwise not known about. We highly recommend this very personalized tour to anyone looking for a great guide to learn all about Athens! Thank you, Ioannis😊❤️ "
"Evanthia was wonderful. She was personable, knowledgeable and funny and made the overall experience really fun! The time flew by and there was not one question she didn’t know the answer to. We could have stayed much longer with her! We were a group of six from different age groups and we all learned many things! I highly recommend Eva for any of your interests. We would have just walked past different items and not have thought twice about them. It was fascinating to learn more in detail about what we were actually seeing. It made us appreciate our experience so much more! "
"We had a wonderful tour with Thomas. He did a great job guiding us through Athens while keeping our 3 children motivated. On our way we had great food stops. And his planing days before to optimize the tour was appreciating greatly. We can recommend Thomas highly!"
"The tour with Dionysis was terrific. Wit was fun and we learned so much!! So much history and mythology that I was expecting! We were so glad we did our tour with him first before visiting the Acropolis because he gave such context and history that enabled us to better understand and appreciate it, and many other things around the city, when we saw them. Loved that it was a private tour so we set the pace and asked as many questions as we wanted. Terrific experience! "
