Tour of the Acropolis with Arianna!
Arianna is an upbeat and very knowledgeable guide. She has so much knowledge and she shares it enthusiastically! We learned so much from her about Greek history. She made the experience interesting and we genuinely enjoyed our time with her. She went out of her way and spent extra time to explain everything we saw. We would definitely booklet her again!

Time in Athens we will always remember!!
It was a little surprising to travel half way around the world and find a kindred spirit, but I think that is one of John’s gifts. He knows how to connect with people and then use that connection to share his vast knowledge of all things Greek including mythology, history, culture and cuisine. He guided us for two days and we learned so much, but more importantly we experienced Athens on another level. He took us to places we would have never found on our own and even if we did we would not have access. My daughters are particularly interested in mythology and he made learning come to life. He also takes great pictures! We will treasure the memories of moments shared for years to come. We decided to book with John based on the reviews of others, and now we are adding our own review. We would give him a 12 out of 10 rating if we could! Book John as your guide. You will not be disappointed!

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 😀

Fun Day, Great Food
Yorgos took us to some great authentic restaurants around the city center and we learned a lot about Greek culture and history. These are places we would not have found on our own and we’re glad to have a guide like Yorgos to lead the way. Highly recommended!
