Energy and local knowledge! - Our Guide was most energetic and knowledgeable and walked us round some of the most interesting places: it was a very hot day and he was conscious of our need for protection from the Sun as well. When we stopped and had a drink with him we found his conversation very enjoyable. it was very good and we were privileged to be in the company of a true local. he also added to our experience by emailing us details of some interiors which being Sunday we had been unable to get into.

Markella tour guide is amazing! - Markella was an excellent guide! It was Greece’s Independence Day so very busy, but she weaved us through the crowds to show us all the cool historical spots in Plaka. She was knowledgeable with Greek history while weaving in mythology aspects as well. She took us up hills to see little houses outside of Plaka too and Olympic area. Superb!

The guided tour to choose if you want it your way - In accordance with our requests our guide in a enthusiastic way gave us a walking tour with interesting details of both the old and new history of Athens and Greece.

Astonishing tour - Amazing experience! Markella is an excellent guide! We had a great time! She is able to explain the history and mythology of Greece at the same time, you need to understand both, so that everything makes sense. Also her vibe and recommendations of places to visit and eat are totally worth it! If i were you, i wouldn’t hesitate on doing it.

Very worthwhile tour - Was an extremely interesting tour with an extremely friendly guide! Very good start to my stay here in Athens. Helped me get used to the city.

Fantastic personalised walking tour of Athens - We booked this tour as we wanted an in-depth tour about Greek mythology. Our tour guide Ioannis was very informative, funny and approachable. Our tour was tailored to our interests and requests. It was great to have a one-on-one tour around the historic city. Ioannis also gave us restaurant recommendations as we walked round the different districts. This was a great way to explore Athens and was the best tour we did on our holiday. We would highly recommend this tour, thank you Ioannis!

Great tour! - Really amazing tour. We got to see places we would never have found without this tour! Our guide was lovely, very knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth doing this! Thank you!

Great sites of the city and stories of Greek gods - Walking the city center and hearing stories of the Greek myths and legends was a great way to get to know the city. The stories were well told. I recommend this tour if you like myths and want to see some areas that are not just for tourists.

Not a mythology tour. - Honestly the tour was a bit awkward and I really think the experience and knowledge is made by having the right tour guide. Unfortunately, ours wasn't great and she didn't know much about mythology at all. I booked the tour for my mythology loving partner and our tour guide didn't tell us any mythology information, I even had to ask her about her favourite God to which she didn't have much to say. We also don't feel like we saw all the things mentioned on the itinerary/potentially went a different route (if we did, they weren't pointed out and we certainly didn't hear about the God's related to that place). There were lots of awkward silences where I was trying to fill by asking about her background and favourite places in Athens. It felt more like a friend of a friend walking you around some nice places with not much information. All in all, I think it is luck of the draw with tour guides - I did not find any reviews mentioning the lady who took us around so not sure if it was her usual tour. In comparison we did a group tour around and up the Acropolis where the guide was energetic, informative and captivating for 20% of the price - this private tour was not worth the price.

Not a mythology tour - This was not a mythology tour. Our guide talked almost exclusively about modern Greek history. After two hours of trying to re-direct him back to mythology and seeing only one of the seven stops that were listed on the "what to expect" section, we gave up and cut the tour off. It was a very disappointing (and expensive) way to spend our last day in Athens.
