Amazing experience - John was absolutely wonderful. He knew so much about the city and was so personable and easy to talk to. We even saw him in another place after our tour, and he stopped what he was doing to give us some tips about the area. Would 100% recommend this tour!

Athens private tour off the beaten track. - We had such a wonderful and caring guide. Her name is Voula. We are both in our 79’s and she made sure we got to see all the places on our list at the pace that was good for us. I highly recommend this tour especially if you are able to have such a wonderful guide as Voula.

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.

Not as off the beaten track as we expected - Perhaps we should have asked what the itinerary was before we started. It was a mix. Some ancient sights, food markets, a bit of cool graffiti, shops, history. The guide’s English was a bit challenging to follow.
