Walking tour with a young and very knowledgeable guide - My friend and I booked this 3 hr walking tour in Aegina. The young guide met us at the pier and took us through town to the museum and his knowledge of the antiquities wqa amazing and very interesting. We saw Kovolos, the ancient church and walked through the streets of the town. All the while he was giving us information, te
Ling stories and answering our questions.
A really great tour well done.

The guide skillfully connected the dots between the island's past and recent history. Tour was relaxed and pleasant. Boo - The guide was excellent, a young local licensed professional guide, a native of the island. A true connoisseur of the place. Tour was relaxed and pleasant, very nice museum and temple. Equally nice tour in the neighborhood, hints about what to visit next on solo, about history, traditions and local food. Thanks for a great experience!

Fantastic walking tour with fabulous guide - We were in Aegina for 3 days and wanted to learn about the island before relaxing on beach. This tour was perfect for our needs. Our guide Tasso is a highly intelligent, extremely knowledgeable and friendly person making for the perfect guide. He is so well informed and passionate about this island he grew up on. He answered all our questions with in depth explanations and gave deep, thoughtful and detailed information. Walking Tour was about 3 hours but Tassos made sure we had cold water and rest stops when needed. We ended with a drink, yummy appetizers and fantastic conversation. So glad we booked this tour- we highly recommend!

Excellent introduction to Aegina - We knew nothing of Aegina but decided to go over for the day as it was so close to Athens (40 minutes by fast ferry from Piraeus). So glad we did the town walking tour. It is a beautiful place and very different pace and vibe to Athens. Our guide Tassos was very friendly and knowledgeable being a local. We had a good cross section of very old history and modern culture. Thanks to Tassos and Aegina Dream Travel for a memorable experience. Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing island tour with great flexibility! - I was staying in Aegina just a few days, a little bit off-season, after a business trip to Athens and found many tours were not available. I reached out to Aegina Dream Travel and they were very accommodating. But even more impressive, after I had spent my first day investigating the local area myself, they were able to provide a guide with a car so I could go to the Temple of Aphaia and see much more of the island. My guide, Maria, was delightful and so well informed regarding the ancient and modern history of this beautiful island. I was so happy with my tour and very glad that they were able to pivot and provide the exact experience I wanted - I strongly recommend!!

Great introduction to Aegina Town - Tassos was a very interesting and extremely knowledgeable young man and his enthusiasm for his home island was infectious! Not only did he tell us about the history of Aegina Town but we also learned about the local culture (we did ask a lot of questions). It was like having a stroll and an enjoyable chat with a friend (OK, with a grandson!). His english was excellent. We would definitely recommend this tour.
The only slightly disappointing thing was the meze at the end of the walk. I had specifically said when I booked that one of the two of us was vegetarian. The small plate of rather uninteresting items was more than half meat. We had hoped to have been introduced to some local specialities.
