Incredible hiking experience - The hike was a wonderful experience in every aspect. The hike up mount Hymettus was scenic and immerses you in the natural beauty of Greece. The tour guide Mike was incredible in not only touring us but also being extremely friendly. All in all this is a must if you are spending a long time in the city

Highly recommended hike in Athens - We had a Sunset hike in Athens with Dimitris, and I must say that this is one of our most memorable experiences in Athens. The hike started at 18:30, and we had in total 5.3 km hike. Some paths are a bit elevated, so non-slippery shows are advisable, but the hike was easy, safe and in a moderate pace. We enjoyed the nature and Dimitris' stories about Greece, Athens and his experiences with active holidays in the nature. On the way, we have spotted a turtle, a nice bird and even a fox. And we reached the view point for the sunset watching just in time. And it was unforgettable! Thank you Dimitris for this hike and your inspiration!

Loved this hike! - Our extended family of 10 loved this hike! It was a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of Athens. The views and sunset were beautiful and we learned a lot about the native plants. The guides were super friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Amazing! - Our guide, Konstantinos, communicated with me a day ahead to confirm time and specific info for pick up. He was right on time. It was nice to take the short car ride and get out of the city for the evening. The hike was not difficult and Konstantinos stopped multiple times to point out different plants along the way and told us some history as well. He also took pictures of us at different locations which was very nice since we rarely get pictures with the whole family. The sunset was absolutely beautiful! The hike after the sunset to get back to the car was short and there was plenty of light left. Overall, this was a great experience and I would recommend it!
