Fantastic! So insightful!
Massive thanks to Voula for such an insightful tour! We booked last minute but are so glad that we did! A true highlight of our trip. Voula was so knowledgeable, full of engaging facts as we wandered through the streets from ancient history to modern day insights. Her range of knowledge was top-notch and we really felt like we were spending an afternoon with a new friend. Thank you also to Voula for slightly changing the itinerary due to is having already seen some of the planned sights. Her communication both before and after the trip was also fantastic. 100% recommend this tour and Voula!! 🩷🇬🇷

Fun time with Makram
Makram, was a fine host. He was very informed and was fun person to enjoy a short but entertaining kick start tour. We would have been happy to spend more time with him as any subject we raised he was very obliging to discuss in detail. He made our visit to Athens and we recommend him as your tour guide.

A great storyteller indeed.
A delicant mixture of history, architecture, culture and local food, all woven together by Yorgos astounding ability to tell stories.
My little brother, not the type to be fascinated with anything but football was impressed by how much he enjoyed the tour.
After the tour we all had a feeling we had gotten to know the city through a perspective that other tourists around us were not able to.
Great experience,
can recommend Yorgos.

The way to see Athens
We had a great bike tour with Stelios! It is the best way to see Athens, especially in the heat - much easier than walking and cooler. The electric bikes were so easy to ride - both uphill and down. It is best to do the tour the first morning in Athens as you get a great view of the city and understand the lay out. Ste was hugely knowledgeable and our young adult sons enjoyed his company. A fun and dynamic tour!!
