Great family tour of the acropolis’s
Alex gave us a fantastic tour of the Acropolis museum & site. We were with our 3 teenage children & we really enjoyed it. We started in the museum which I would recommend as it’s laid out to mirror the actual site & he spent lots of time with us there explaining the different buildings and interesting artefacts & telling us some v entertaining myths associated. He is obviously extremely knowledgeable but with a very light & entertaining style which made the tour v relaxed. He then brought us through the site itself and nicely reminded us & brought together whet we had learnt & seen in the museum which really brought the ruins to life. He was extremely patients and gave us lots of time & we even had time to stop for coffees and ice creams and a lovely chat about Athenian life between the museum & the site. Thanks again Alex 😀

Not-to-be-missed tour
Spending time with Stavros was one of the highlights of our Athens vacation. Whether you’re gay or just a friend of the gay community, this is a not-to-be missed experience. Stavros not only provides information about Athens’s gay community but also includes historical references of Athens and its monuments. Moreover, Stavros is an all around nice guy. He patiently answered all our questions and even sent us pictures of our tour. We really enjoyed meeting him and learning more about Athens and its gay community.

Excellent tour and well informed.
Costa was great and very informed about the area and its surroundings. It was nice to purchase the tickets in advance, skip a bunch of the lines, and see more of Athens. It was a great tour with a lot of great information.

Great tour if the Acropolis
Costas was very easy to communicate with before the tour; he met us promptly at our prearranged meeting point.
The tour of the Acropolis included an initial 2hrs in the Acropolis Museum, during which Costas took us through the history of the site and proved to be incredibly well informed on every aspect; he then took us up on to the slopes of the Acropolis for an hour to show us the real thing. Both parts of the tour knitted together perfectly and we left with a feeling that we had been fully immersed in Greek and Athenian history.
Thank you Costas
