Excellent guide and insightful tour of the hidden areas of Athens - Our guide was insightful authentic and helpful with our tour around the back streets and hidden gems within Athens. She took us to various areas that are not typically known to tourists. The street art and architecture along the way was fabulous. Highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful experience - Our guide Ioannis was great. Called us several times before tour to make sure we understood where to meet and even agreed to meet an hour earlier. So full of information and took time to show us many different interesting places. Recommended a great seafood restaurant. He was so kind and thoughtful especially since it was so very hot. Great guide!

Must have with a knowledgeable guide - Oh, my god! Manos was absolutely amazing! After taking a few other tours, the guide is everything. Manos knew so much history and all the little details, and the time in the scorching Athenian heat flew by and we were losing track of time. We learned so much and felt we knew so much more so fast about Athens at the conclusion of the tour.

Raining and Thundering - The tour guy tried his best to make the experience pleasant, but it was raining and thundering, and Viator would not cancel tour and refund my money!!!! I tried, but they said tour was still on even with thunders.

AVOID - We confirmed the time and place for the tour the day before. Operator never showed up, did not respond to texts and phone calls from me or Viator. Absolutely horrible! We had our grandson with us for his high school senior trip with the grandparents. So, to say the least, he was very disappointed. It was too late to book another tour, so we did a walking tour on our own which turned out just fine! I may use the walking tour app again in the future. We saw several off the beaten track sites and made the best of a bad situation.
