Experience Day trips in the best of
Athens with Withlocals

"Our overall experience was exceptional. From our first conversation, Thomas took the time to understand what we wanted and thoughtfully crafted an itinerary that included the iconic highlights of Athens while also incorporating several unique locations known primarily through his personal expertise. These special additions provided a deeper, more authentic perspective of Athens, its history, and its culture, giving us a much richer experience than we could have achieved on our own. Thomas is truly an ambassador for Greece. His passion, knowledge, and storytelling brought each destination to life and made the day both memorable and rewarding. If you are looking for an authentic Greek perspective and want to experience the country beyond the typical tourist attractions, I highly recommend Thomas. You will not be disappointed."

"It was our first time in Athens. Makram was light hearted and entertaining. We enjoyed our morning with him. "

" Excellent historical tour of Athens! Nikos is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects - social, political, cultural - of Greece and beyond. Very personable, always kept us comfortable in shade when possible, answered all our questions with fascinating knowledge. "

"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."

"My wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary with a cruise that ended in Athens. With just 3 and 1/2 days to take it in we elected private tours of the various sites. We chose Ioannis, the funny lawyer as our guide for 4 tours, committing ourselves to one guide. Best decision we could have made because not only did we enjoy the sites which we'll remember for a long time, but we made a friend who we now call Yanni. He took us not only to the sites we wanted to see but gave great care for the two senior citizens he befriended. As such he modified according to our stamina. We ate together at restaurants filled with locals, not tourists and learned about the Greek food and eating style and tasted delicacies we'd have never ordered on our own. We felt like Greeks among friends and now have memories more vivid than had we not met Yanni and allowed him to make those memories. "

"Evanthia was extremely friendly, energetic and knowledgeable. We had a great time with our 3 kids. She tailored the tour to our needs and made sure we covered everything we wanted to see. "

"My wife and I had a wonderful tour of the Marathon area with Nikos. From the moment we hopped in the car in central Athens Nikos entertained us with information about the areas we were passing through. But, it was once we were in the Marathon area that we realised his level of knowledge was extraordinary ... and he was entertaining, as well. There is no way we could have seen some of the amazing places he showed us without him. Thank you, Nikos."

"We could not have asked for a better day- Ioannis is a caring kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about his home. We absolutely recommend you book with Ioannis and the team at withlocals who go the extra mile to make sure everything is done well . "

"We loved our tour provided by Nikos. He drove us to the Temple of Poseidon and the Ancient Theatre and Silver Mine of Thorikos, with a stop at Lake Vouliagmeni. Nikos is extremely knowledgeable and very fun; also great at taking photos! He made us feel very comfortable and provided us with great recommendations for what to do during the remainder of our stay. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a restaurant recommended by Nikos. Highly recommend Nikos as your guide."

"We chose to do a seven hour tour with Costas so we don’t have to rush through anything and we got to learn more about Athens, so glad we chose this. Even with kids it was perfect. Costas was very engaging and knowledgeable, such a great guided tour. Can’t say enough good things about him and highly recommend booking your tour with him."
