⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Tour with Thomas
"Thomas was an outstanding guide who brought Athens to life with his warmth, knowledge and enthusiasm. He shared great stories and knowledge of history, pointed out hidden gems and made sure every stop was meaningful.
He rose to the challenge to fit everything in and went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our interests. From the buzz of the Monastiraki markets to peaceful churches and a tucked-away Cycladic-style neighborhood, every part of the tour felt special.
We finished at Athens Cathedral, our legs tired but our hearts full. Thomas’s passion for his city and thoughtful approach made this an unforgettable experience."

"We had an excellent tour with Ioannis. He showed us so much that we would have missed walking around on our own. He was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the city in which he has lived for many years. He was lovely company and we didn't feel rushed. He was very happy to show us what we wanted to see. We were a group of 4 girls having a weekend away and we came away feeling like we saw a true side of Athens. Thankyou Ioannis."
"We enjoyed our tour with Makram! He was knowledgeable and welcoming. We learned much about Athens and he made many recommendations on additional things to see and places to eat. Highly recommend booking a tour with Makram!"
"We booked Thomas for our first day in Athens so we could get a local to show us the city and some hidden gems.
We picked Thomas because he seemed very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We made the right choice!
Thomas took as on a wonderful tour of his beloved Athens, and his colourful narrative gave us a deep understating of everywhere we went. He is insightful, kind, passionate and lots of fun.
We cannot recommend him more highly! "
"We had an absolutely fantastic experience today on a tour with Nikos through Athens to Marsthon. Beautiful area outside of the city center. So much history to see! Informed, knowledgeable, detailed patient and willing to make adjustments to our itinerary on the fly as he came to better understand our interests. Probably one of the best tours we’ve ever been on in our travels. Highly recommend Nikos!"
"I’ve been to Athens before, but Thomas gave me fresh insights into places I’d been before and introduced me to spots I had never seen. His deep love of history really came through, and he was easy company — friendly, engaging, and with a great sense of pace. A thoroughly enjoyable way to experience the city."
"Yorgos combined his love of history, Greek culture and compassion for the city Athens into a wonderful tour. His relaxed and friendly style made learning about Athens fun. He responded to all our questions so we were able to get a feeling for life in Athens both ancient and modern. He also adapted the tour to respond to our personal interests. Highly recommend this tour and Yorgos as a guide."
