Great first time in Athens!
Voula was absolutely wonderful! She took us to some great locations including the market and a honey shop! We sampled lots of local bites while also learning some very interesting history. She was kind and extremely knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and provided us a very personalized introduction to all that Athens has to offer. These tours are a great way to get a lay of the land and to truly understand all the great insights only a local can provide. We had an absolutely lovely experience and were so impressed with Voula’s energy and passion for her trade and her beautiful city! Would highly recommend spending some time with her to really appreciate all that Athens has to offer! Don’t miss the honey! It was a highlight of our tour!! Absolutely delightful experience!!

Good tour woth John
John did a great job for us. He helped find a place for our luggage since we met him right after getting out of the airport. He was understanding and worked with us since we were late meeting him from the airport.
The tour was great and the kids enjoyed it too (which is the hardest part). He was funny and interactive with the kids and the adults. He took us to some good places and was very knowledgeable.

Fabulous guide!
We had the pleasure of touring the Acropolis with Costas. We had visited years ago, but it was much more interesting and insightful taking the private tour with Costas. His knowledge and anecdotes made for an amazing experience. It was especially meaningful as we were visiting on Easter Weekend to learn some of the Greek Orthodox history and traditions. He even took the extra effort after our tour to send us live photos of ceremonies and traditions we had discussed. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this great outing!
