Tour the best parts of Athens like a local with an amazing host - Babis was a spectacular host. We felt like Athenian VIP’s being guided through some of the best parts of Athens, many of which most tourists wouldn’t know to go to. The tour included the Athens central marketplace, where he guided us through the meat and fish markets and showed us the best places to get all kinds of authentic Greek goods (e.g. spices, pastries, produce, etc.). He then gave us a phenomenal tour of numerous sites of interest around Athens, including several ancient churches and historic landmarks. He has a very unique background as a wildlife photographer who previously worked in the food industry for many years, and he also has a strong interest in historical architecture, so he was able to provide many fascinating insights and took phenomenal photos. He also took us for coffee at a great cafe/bar with a truly breathtaking view of downtown/historic Athens. The 5 hour tour flew by and we honestly did not want it to end. Even our 12 year old son had a blast. Do not hesitate for a second to book this tour. Note: This tour involves a lot of walking and the smells in the meat and fish markets are rather stimulating early in the day, so I would suggest minimizing alcohol intake and getting good rest the night prior.

Amazing Tour to Help Navigate Athens! - What a fantastic way to begin our trip to Greece! I booked this walking tour to start off our trip in Athens and Babis was the best. He was so helpful, clear, and gave us so many inside little secrets and recommendations - It made our trip so much more memorable! I strongly recommend booking this tour in the early part of your trip.
