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 😀

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.
