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.

Great introduction to Athens
Great walking to Tour and we recovered lots of ground, even more than we thought in the 1.5–2 hour introduction. Perfect way to put context to the city and some of the histories/archaeology of Athens, would highly recommend.
