My mom and I had the pleasure of Nasir as our tour guide for our 10 tastes of Athens walking tour last night, and we had a truly wonderful time. We chose a later tour to accommodate our flight and we were together from around 6 to 9 PM. It seemed late for a food tour, but with the sun not setting until 8:30 in August, it was perfect. Soaking up all of the Greek ways and awesome vibes along with tasting some very unique things was exactly what we were hoping- and more. I wish I could post pictures of all the very creative tasty things he orders and we got to eat! Nasir is very knowledgeable, comfortable to be around, and we have great photos for our memories. We had a minor delay and easily communicated with him via WhatsApp. Also he made sure to ask about any allergies or food preferences in the beginning so he knew how to organize our tour. We were able to try some of his favorite items we have never heard of before, which was very special. Absolutely loved the sweets shop near the end where we got to choose some fabulous things to try (including the best baklava on the planet and a perfect espresso!!), and the final stop with all those yummy alcohol tastings and so many wonderful spices I was able to buy to take home! Great job, Thank you Nasir!Nasir delivers a wonderful experience!!!

The experience with Nasir truly made me feel like a supermodel for the day. Attention was all on us as we moved from location to another. I booked same day and Nasir responded quickly to arrange our shoot. Last minute I decided I should have memorable shots from my trip other than my cell phone pictures, especially for my birthday. Nasir and his wife were very professional and dedicated to ensuring I had memorable shots of Greece. I received the link to photos within 24 hours. Very pleased with the shots and the experience. I highly recommend and would definitely book again should I return to Athens! The experience with Nasir truly made me feel like a supermodel for the day

We were looking forward to a 3 hour tour to (quote) ’satisfy our cravings for local food and culture with highlights along the way’ with guide Dimitris. One day before our tour Dimitris tried to move the date one day later, but we declined as we already had other plans for that day. Then we received a message we would have another guide… This guide was very friendly and his life story is truly extraordinary. However, we didn’t experience much of the tour we expected. The guide first bought us a 60 cent bagel and then -after being rejected at a restaurant (full) he had in mind for our tour- took us for a 20 min walk through an ugly part of Athens, to finally land at the only restaurant of our “food tour”. We got 6-7 dishes of ‘ok’ food and then simply returned to the starting point. Just before the end, we got an ice cream from a blatant tourist place, after we asked if no dessert was part of the plan. The whole experience lasted 1,5 – 2 hours (advertised ‘tour’ was 3 hours) with no ‘local culture’, no ‘city highlights’, and a taste of some (not 10) examples of not-the-best Greek cuisine. Disappointing and a rip-off at almost 95€ per person Disappointing and a rip-off

I told Nasir I’m not very photogenic, but he did not accept that. He was able to bring out my inner introvert. We took well over 400 photos, as he was able to capture so many different angles. I could have used a little more direction. Coming to Athens alone, I was scared of not having any photo memories other than “selfies”. I am so grateful Nasir was available on short notice and able to help me create these long lasting memories. He sent me the link to my photos while I was still on my holiday. I am please with the results. If you are ever going to be in Athens, book Nasir, you will not regret it!Totaly expert

Nasir is a national treasure 😭 I travelled to Athens alone and wanted some cute pictures in iconic locations, and he took the time to show me some cool sites and even helped to direct posing for the best pictures! Would recommend him to anyone. Apologies again for how last minute it was, but your recommendations and advice are worth a million stars. All the best!Nasir is a national treasure 😭

Overall the photoshoot went great. I chose the latest session that was offered, and I arrived a few minutes late so we didn’t get to shoot in much sunlight. It’s also a slight hike to the top where the first photos were taken. The pictures came out nice after I brightened them up a little. I think more locations that are already illuminated would be a great idea for people who choose the latest time. Having the portable flash came in handy but it was a little too bright in some of my photos. I would definitely book again, but only in the day time. Thank you.Great photoshoot

On a solo trip to Athens, I wanted some pictures that weren’t selfies and booked a shoot with Nasir. Nasir showed me around Athens, brought me to some unique spots for pictures, and showed me how to pose to bring out the best in the photos. I had a lovely time, and have even lovelier photos from the shoot to help me remember a magical trip to Athens! On a solo trip to Athens
