"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 asked for off the beaten track and Voula really delivered. We walked through neighborhoods that we would have never found on our own and were exposed to great street graffiti art. Voula was able to explain how Athens has grown and changed over the years - some for the better and some for the not so great. She knows Athens ! "
"Ioannis gave us an experience of Athens above and beyond what we had expected. He is a charming - thoughtful and an immensely talented and informed Guide - who just loves his City - his culture and everything Greek. \nWe were entertained - informed - surprised and amazed at all he was able to show us. He was extremely generous with his time and very comfortable in his surroundings - we were so pleased that our first evening in Athens was spent in the company of Ioannis - Thank you - you are an incredible Guide\nand an amazing ambassador for your City and Country."
