Great guide and all-around great guy
With age comes wisdom. I specifically chose Spyros because I figured he had an abundance of knowledge, along with life experiences, which he could share on our tour. He didn’t disappoint! We learned so much about Athens, past and present. Moreover, Spyros has a quality often missing in tour guides: enthusiasm! If you’re looking for a guide with expertise and enthusiasm, Spyros is your guy.

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 Stavros not only provides information about Athens’s gay community but also includes historical references of Athens and its monuments.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.

Interesting and informative
Our family of four spent three hours with Dionysis walking around central Athens. We were taken to fascinating areas away from the tourist hot spots. Dionysis told us many interesting facts and answered our questions clearly. He also provided links to recommended eating places and good, practical advice about where and when to see the sights. We would recommend Dionysis without reservation.
