A highlight of our time in Athens
Booking a private tour guide was an excellent way to make our visit to Acropolis special. We could not be more satisfied with Markella. She did a wonderful job setting the stage and equipping us with the base knowledge needed to fully enjoy the temples. She is so immersive with her storytelling and pleasant to have conversation with. We toured Delphi the next day and said multiple times how much we miss Markella. Additionally, she is great at communication prior to the tour. You will not regret booking with Markella!

Fantastic! So insightful!
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!! 🩷🇬🇷

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.
