"We had a wonderful day with Nikos, who is an excellent guide and a very nice person. He is incredibly intelligent and shared so much history with us. He was so accommodating and very pleasant to be with. We had a great experience and highly recommend you take a tour with Nico. He was amazing and gave all five people in our group a great experience!"

Highly recommend - five stars!!
"We spent a beautiful afternoon in Athens with John- we had asked to do an \"off the beaten path tour\" of Athens to get a sense of the city without the crowds and John delivered beautifully! \nWe walked through side alleys full of beautiful restaurants, high end thrift stores, bakeries, coffee shops and more. We are a very curious group and thoroughly enjoyed Johns wealth of knowledge including Greek history, local lore and current events. We explored parts of the city we would not have found on our own and got a true local taste of the city. Highlight was the farmers markets, where locals shop for produce, seafood and meats. \nA very special afternoon we highly recommend - five stars!!"
"Joannis was an amazing guide. He first made us discover a local restaurant so we could have breakfast before the tour. Then, we had an enjoyable round tour of the Attica peninsula and visited the temple of Poseidon. Without forgetting a few surprises along the way. We highly recommend Joannis without reservation."

"Niko provided a fun and engaging, informative and personal tour for our family. The tour was completely tailored to our wishes - he even coordinated with another guide so we could enjoy the tour with my sister and her family. Could not have asked for more! "
"We spent a day with Ioannis on the Cape Sounio & Temple of Poseidon Private Day Trip. What a treat! After picking us up at our hotel, Ioannis took us on a very scenic drive along the Greek coast to Cape Sunnio. The experience at the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon could not have been any different than the chaotic one we had the day before at the Acropolis. The Temple of Poseidon was just as spectacular in its own way, but without the crowds. But be prepared for the wind. It was fierce the day we went.\n\nFollowing our visit to the temple, Ioannis took us to a nearby village where we had a leisurely lunch and even dipped our toes in the Aegean Sea! We had a great time sitting and visiting with Ioannis. His knowledge of local history is remarkable and he really makes it come to life.\n\nThis was one of the very best tours we have taken in Europe and I thougt it was a great value. I cannot recommend Ioannis highly enough. A great tour. An even greater guide.\n"
"Nikolas re-oriented our trip for us as we were arriving at a cruise port outside the main one. He was full of information and enthusiasm and we really enjoyed spending time with him "
"We had a wonderful tour with Niko as our guide, he was very knowledgable and a great conversationalist. We enjoyed spending the day with him and would 100% recommend this tour with him. Thanks for everything Niko!!! "
"We had a group of 5 adults and were able to arrange a full-day Delphi trip from Alimos on June 5, 2025. Nikos was an excellent guide and a wealth of information. From picking us up at our VRBO to stopping for coffee and pastries to get an early morning off to a good start, everyone in our group had a wonderful day. We were able to make modifications as the trip progressed that best suited our group and Nikos offered great workable options. History, mythology and humor flowed naturally throughout the trip and we remained captivated and entertained throughout. Our lunch stop was spectacular as well, for both food and view. \nI highly recommend Nikos and the Delphi experience. "
"Ioannis was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable about this history of Greece. He took up on the Cape Sounio tour. \n\nIoannis was prompt, friendly, passionate about Greece. He truly went out of his was to meet any requests we had. He chose a wonderful lunch spot for us along the coast, which had the freshest seafood and a stunning view. He made sure we had a wonderful table, which was kind gesture. \n\nHe found us a perfect spot along the coast free from the crowds, we went on our tour on a Greek holiday, so the beaches were unusually busy. \n\nI highly recommend Ioannis for any tour you choose."
