"My friend and I LOVED the tour with Manos. It was exactly what we wanted - something non-touristy where we really learned about Athens culture (today and in the past). Manos was warm and funny, answered all our questions with ease, and he really knows Athens inside and out. His knowledge is impressive. He gave great restaurant recommendations as well. 10/10, no notes! We highly recommend!"
"We have been to Athens almost every year as we connect to the islands. We were lucky to have the tour with Dionysis to see areas of the city we have missed. We will definitely be visiting these areas again thanks to the tour! "
"Ioannis was well versed in the area, the art and the meaning behind the art. He was funny and informative. He adjusted his pace to accommodate all of us, and we saw areas we would not have seen without his tour. I highly recommend this tour!"
"Thomas was lovely. He was very knowledgeable about the city of Athens, past and present. He engaged with our daughter on her love of Greek Mythology, gave us a great overview of the history of Athens, along with cool parts of the city we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. He also had nice suggestions for restaurants. As a follow up, he sent us movies and literature in order to learn more about the city. "
"We had a fantastic tour with Dionysis! He took us up and down streets we would have never seen all the while sharing stories about the historic sights AND the amazing street art. It was just the right pace to see everything, especially the amazing views of the Acropolis. Dionysis also shared so many stories about Greek mythology to bring to life what we were seeing. Highly recommend this tour!"
"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 had a fantastic morning out with Nikolas. The walking tour exceeded our expectations and we covered so much ground, saw all the key locations and many hidden gems. Nikolas was a great storyteller, sharing tales of modern and Ancient Greece, providing context that we couldn’t have achieved on our own. 5⭐️"
"We had a wonderful tour with Thomas. He did a great job guiding us through Athens while keeping our 3 children motivated. On our way we had great food stops. And his planing days before to optimize the tour was appreciating greatly. We can recommend Thomas highly!"
"Thomas is a highly communicative & passionate guide. He was great not only during the tour but also prior to work out exactly what we were after and tailor our experience. He’s also a lovely person. Highly recommended! "
