Great walk with Spyros. - Our guide Spyros was fantastic, he was so knowledgeable and made everything so interesting. There was only my wife and I on the tour which was great as we got his 100%attention. Tour lasted 30 mins longer than advertised. Highly recommend 👌

Nothing beats this private Athens Off the Beaten Track tour! - Our private walking tour with Spyros was fantastic! Without his guidance, we would have been aimlessly wandering and wasting precious time trying to navigate Athens. Spyros expertly shared countless insights into the city's history, immersing us in its rich cultural tapestry. His wealth of knowledge was so extensive that eventually, only my friends' brains could keep absorbing information, while mine went on hiatus! 😄 Thank you, Spyros, for your exceptional care and for being an outstanding tour guide!

Fabulous morning- Athenian life ancient and modern - Spyros was a fabulous guide- knowledgeable about a wide range of topics - history, philosophy, architecture, scientific advances and urban change. An Athenian born and bred, he led a fascinating tour around the Acropolis area and the city, answering all the questions asked, and full of stories and local insights. Highly recommended

The best guided tour with Spyrus - This was hands down the best experience and thing we did in Athens.
Spyrus showed more than we could have ever imagined, from hidden gems to well known places, while telling about the history, mythology, philosophies and much more.
Dont hesitate to do this, you wont regret it!

A great way to quickly get familiar with the city and find your favorite spots. - Yorgos was fantastic! He started the tour by asking about our interests and what we were most interested in seeing in the city. He took us around to see the local markets and shops, as well as some of the historical sites. He was very informative about the city, the history, and the ancient mythology of Greece. Touring with Yorgos was the first thing we did when we arrived in Athens. It was the perfect way to quickly get familiar with the city. I highly recommend touring with Yorgos!

Great way to explore Athens - Thank you Ioannis for a great morning stroll around Anaphi, Plaka, Psirri and Monastiraki. There are so many things to see in Athens that one visit isn't enough. we had great conversations about local customs and historic events, laughed to fun stories and enjoyed a wonderful time.
