"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."

"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 ! "
