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.

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!!

A True Local Experience
I had an incredible experience with Ioannis on an off-the-beaten-path tour of Athens. From the very beginning, he really listened to what I was interested in and tailored the tour to match. He took us through local neighborhoods that combined street art, culture, and history in such a thoughtful way. One of the highlights was when he showed us some hard-to-find ancient frescoes tucked away in an area I would have walked right past if I were on my own.
Ioannis was kind, funny, and deeply knowledgeable. His English was perfect, and he made the whole experience feel relaxed and engaging. He even gave us great recommendations for places to eat after the tour, which turned out to be just as spot-on as everything else he shared. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and will absolutely book another tour the next time I’m in Athens. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
