A great start to get to know a new city - We had a great guided tour with Dionysis which we would recommend to anyone looking for a good overview of Athen. "Get Lost in Athens with an Insider" is a very good start of a stay in a new city, ie one get an overview of where to find what and what to do. Our guide Dionysis is very nice, knowledgeable, down to earth, very good to explain and easy to understand either we ask about ancient history, how Greek live today or tips on what to do in Athen.

Wonderful stroll through the streets of Athens! - Highly recommend this tour! It’s a great way to see parts of Athens on foot and learn some of the history and culture. Dennis was amazing - very knowledgeable, flexible in changing the itinerary, and took us to a great Greek coffee shop we would not have found on our own. It was a great experience!

Interesting Neighborhoods - Overall, we enjoyed the experience of visiting a variety of neighborhoods. The street art was particularly engaging. But there were some issues, including pacing (which felt somewhat slow) and communication. I would suggest a refreshment break of some sort as well, instead of the guide simply pointing out some popular spots. I'm not sorry we took this tour, but feel it could be improved in terms of pace and organization.

It’s a great tour BUT…. - Everything on the tour was special and most areas I never would have seen on my own., but I could not understand the guide. She was warm and engaging and knows her information .It would have been perfect if her English was better.She even said if we didn’t understand( she had to wear a mask) she would talk louder, but that wasn’t the problem.

No show - It was probably our fault, but my husband and I did not make the meeting place on time. We got a little lost. I saw later that the tour guide that sent an email saying he was waiting for us.
