Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Spyros was a fantastic guide! He has a wealth of knowledge and experience about the city and its history, and we learned so much from him as he showed us around the city center. I would recommend him to anyone!"
" Our guide, Ioannis, was not only incredibly nice and funny, but also extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. You could feel his passion for the history and culture of Athens in every minute. Thanks to him, we didn't just see the main attractions; he showed us the hidden spots and charming alleys we would never have found on our own. The tour was packed with so many fascinating details and background information that truly brought Athens to life. We really enjoyed it and wholeheartedly recommend this private tour with Ioannis to anyone looking to experience Athens in a personal and profound way! 5/5 Stars! A true highlight of our vacation."
"We had a wonderful private tour with Eleni in Athens. Her knowledge was impressive, and she explained each site in fascinating detail. She took us to stunning panoramic views of the city that we would have missed on our own. As an elderly couple, we found the 3-hour walk challenging, but Eleni was incredibly patient and understanding. A highly positive experience—we wholeheartedly recommend her!"
"This was a great tour to experience a side of Athens we would've never seen! Voula was a wonderful guide and very personable. She kept in mind things we were interested in and was very knowledgeable on speaking about Athens!"

"Eleni was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens and all the sites she showed us. She was patient and gave us all the opportunities to take pictures of the wonderful city of Athens."
"Tatialena was great. Good stories, very knowledgeable, humorous and genuine. We saw Athens in a new light. We saw things only locals know about. "
"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."
"All the times I visited Athens never knew there was a market right across the street. Lenny showed me so many new things that I had never seen before including art and graffiti great tour."
"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!"
