Best tour ever!
Ioannis was amazing! He shared history, funny stories and brought us to places we would have never discovered on our own. He even engaged my teenage boys with the history and myths. He adjusted the tour to what we were interested in and showed us truly local off the beaten path things. This tour was worth every penny do not hesitate to book with Ioannis. This was hands down the best tour we have ever taken and was a tremendous value.

Tour of the Acropolis with Arianna!
Arianna is an upbeat and very knowledgeable guide. She has so much knowledge and she shares it enthusiastically! We learned so much from her about Greek history. She made the experience interesting and we genuinely enjoyed our time with her. She went out of her way and spent extra time to explain everything we saw. We would definitely booklet her again!

Time in Athens we will always remember!!
It was a little surprising to travel half way around the world and find a kindred spirit, but I think that is one of John’s gifts. He knows how to connect with people and then use that connection to share his vast knowledge of all things Greek including mythology, history, culture and cuisine. He guided us for two days and we learned so much, but more importantly we experienced Athens on another level. He took us to places we would have never found on our own and even if we did we would not have access. My daughters are particularly interested in mythology and he made learning come to life. He also takes great pictures! We will treasure the memories of moments shared for years to come. We decided to book with John based on the reviews of others, and now we are adding our own review. We would give him a 12 out of 10 rating if we could! Book John as your guide. You will not be disappointed!
