Excellent and fun tour with Loannis - 2 of us for a private gf the beaten track tour. In a word: Ecellent. Loannis/Yannis was a first class guide and a very pleasant personality to be with. A native Athenian and really tailored the tour to our wants and our pace. The conversation about life in Athens added to our understanding and recommendations for bars/eateries were excellent. Cannot recommend Laonnis more highly.!

Excellent tour of Athens... - Excellent tour of Athens neighborhoods with Dimitri. Everyone knew Dimitri on the streets of Athens. It was a pleasure to have him lead us through the local shops and have unique experiences along the way.

Super Spiro - OOOOMG! I can't believe I never gave Spiro a proper SHOUT OUT! Spiro is our Greek family, we never knew we had. He was ever so genuine, welcoming, informative, knowledgeable, connected etc. We were treated to off the beaten paths which were far more interesting than the beaten paths, we were immersed in true Greek culture, we remember taking a path just below the Pantheon, which consisted of a series etc. Spiro knew exactly which path to take to allow us a specular tour.

Get an alternate view of Athens - This was such a unique tour. We decided to do this tour on our first day in Athens to get to know the city a bit, before we begin our time in it. Spyros was very knowledgeable, shared so much history, unique tips about the city and things you would definitely not get on your generic tour. Thank you so much for the great time!

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!
