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.

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!

Excellent tour and well informed.
Costa was great and very informed about the area and its surroundings. It was nice to purchase the tickets in advance, skip a bunch of the lines, and see more of Athens. It was a great tour with a lot of great information.

Great tour if the Acropolis
Costas was very easy to communicate with before the tour; he met us promptly at our prearranged meeting point.
The tour of the Acropolis included an initial 2hrs in the Acropolis Museum, during which Costas took us through the history of the site and proved to be incredibly well informed on every aspect; he then took us up on to the slopes of the Acropolis for an hour to show us the real thing. Both parts of the tour knitted together perfectly and we left with a feeling that we had been fully immersed in Greek and Athenian history.
Thank you Costas
