A great way to see Athens - My daughter and I had a great afternoon on our comprehensive and incredibly interesting tour with Thomas. His knowledge is vast - on history and the gods but also on places to eat and other general knowledge of Athens. The pit stop for Loukoumades was a particular highlight. Thank you.

Private walking tour in Athens - Loved the informality and ease our guide had. Our favorite part he showed us was Anafiotica; such a hidden gem! He had a wonderful pace, was a great storyteller and wore a smile the whole time! He even gave a few tips on where to eat which we took advantage of… would do this again!

Manos, the guide for Athens - Manos, our guide, was great, knowledgeable and communicated very well. He took the time to really explain history and concepts well. He gave us loads of history you cannot get through an App. Ask for him if you can.

Fantastic!!! - Yorgos was a fantastic guide for our first day in Athens! We were able to explore all of the neighborhoods and get a feel for the city and the history behind it. Fantastic! Thank you so much!

A Unique Gem of a Tour… - LOVED THIS! John was beyond amazing as our guide!! He was exceedingly knowledgeable and we learned many interesting “fun facts” from him. We weren’t sure what to expect from the title—but were very pleasantly surprised. The worst part about the tour was that it ended. 😁 We would want to take a “part two” of this tour, if we could get John again as our guide.

This did not go well - It was changed by the guide, I cancelled after hurting my foot. But it was thought to have taken place days earlier. So no refund and quite misunderstood.
