Highly recommend! Excellent Tour Guide! - We had a great time exploring Athens and our tour guide was fantastic! We did this tour day 1 on arrival, and it was such a fun way to learn a little about Athens and see some off the beaten path places, hear a little about the history, and see some amazing sights. We had a great time, our tour guide was so friendly and passionate about his city. It set an excellent stage and point of reference for our trip. Highly recommend!

One of a kind tour! - A hidden gem that offered local secrets & one of a kind tour. Spyros was an amazing guide giving our small group of 3 a tour that hit the highlights of Athens with the added details that only a long time local would know. He was entertaining, energetic, & knowledgeable. Wear your walking shoes to travel the streets, climb hilltops, zig zag thru all types of terrain. Enjoy the experience!

Highly recommend - fascinating and beautiful city - Ioannis was a wonderful guide. He knows the city intimately and it was the perfect walking tour for our first night in Athens. He pointed out interesting details around every corner and only got us more excited to spend the following days there.

Beautiful walk - Beautiful private walk where you get to see and hear everything from the guide. Walked at least 10 kilometers together, but very doable

Athens Like You Might Have Missed. Highly Recommend!! - Our guide Yanni met us in Athens and dove right in to the highlights of Athens you may not have known. Weaving through the streets and alleys, our guide educated us on the places locals go to shop, eat and meet up with friends. Telling us about the rich history of Athens we saw areas you would miss if you didn’t have an expert guide to show you. Our guide made recommendations of sights to see and places to shop and eat. He explained the culture of the people who live here and people of the past and how they lived. We saw history all over. A must do tour. You won’t be disappointed.

City Tour - Our guide, Voula, did an excellent job. We really got a feel for the rich history of Greece and saw several historical locations you might not get from a tourist map. We had a great time!
