It was a 10❤️
John showed us an Athens. He never would have seen walking about on our own. He loves his city and his country and it showed with every comment he made. He was so friendly and outgoing. Our experience with Chan could not have been better!

Good tour woth John
John did a great job for us. He helped find a place for our luggage since we met him right after getting out of the airport. He was understanding and worked with us since we were late meeting him from the airport.
The tour was great and the kids enjoyed it too (which is the hardest part). He was funny and interactive with the kids and the adults. He took us to some good places and was very knowledgeable.

Fabulous guide!
We had the pleasure of touring the Acropolis with Costas. We had visited years ago, but it was much more interesting and insightful taking the private tour with Costas. His knowledge and anecdotes made for an amazing experience. It was especially meaningful as we were visiting on Easter Weekend to learn some of the Greek Orthodox history and traditions. He even took the extra effort after our tour to send us live photos of ceremonies and traditions we had discussed. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this great outing!

Fantastic, Kid-friendly tour
We had a great time with Vikki Vikki Vasiliki. We have three kids, 7, 9, 11 and she was wonderful at keeping them engaged, doing activities throughout to keep them happy, and also brought us to an amazing souvlaki place to grab a bite to go. Would highly recommend.
