Ioannis was a kind, entertaining and knowledgeable guide. His background in history as well as local culture, and his lovely personality made our tour so enjoyable. Instead of droning with a continuous monologue like so many tour guides, Ioannis asked us up front what are interests were, answered our questions as they came upon, and interacted skillfully with our group. Yiamas to Ioannis for a great tour!DC family had a great tour!

I am travelling from Australia with my 15 year old daughter. We took a tour to Mycenae, Napflio and Epidavros with Ioannis. It was a fantastic day. The sites themselves are beautiful but there are many other tours that go to the same places. The difference for us was having Ioannis as our guide. He made the day very interesting for both of us and also went out of his way to be kind to my daughter - even insisting on taking her to the best gelato place. We both found him warm, funny and a wonderful guide. When I asked my daughter how I should rate this tour she said "Give Ioannis 11 out of 10"!Wonderful day

Ioannis is passionate about his Athenian knowledge and carefully listens to your own interests.He explains that he is a court lawyer and actor by profession. He communicates politely and professionally to understand our wishes for the tour. We talked about what we had experienced already and skilfully Ioannis worked out that we were interested in art and modern politics. We are Scottish and he had interesting insights when comparing our legal systems for instance. Our conversation varied widely using the starting point of the Athenian archeology we walked past. We progressed to modern Greek art by visiting hidden spaces an art cooperative we would never have found. Next we were debating graffiti as art as we walked up the Plaka houses beneath the Acropolis walls with a fascinating story about their origins. He found hidden fresco details which again we would never found without Ioannis. We walked back down through the maze of small streets and markets. Again he skilfully guided us with our interests in mind. At each step of the way he was knowledgable and had an infectious enthusiasm for his local culture. We were returned to near our hotel in a master stroke at a bar called Noel. He understood our enthusiasm for whacky art! What a wonderful man and experience. A real privilege to meet Ioannis. His English is impeccable. Unique insights into Athenian culture

Ioannis was very kindly able to accommodate us when we had a problem with our flight and were delayed by a day and I was worried we were going to lose our different bookings we had planned. He offered to move it to the next day and adapt the time to fit with another booking (for the Acropoli) we already had. Thanks to Ioannis we had a great time discovering some great places whether on the cultural /historical front or the food and drink front! We were able to see places and areas we probably would have missed had we not been with someone local. The concept of a local guide is amazing , I will be looking out for this on our travels in other countries and for Athens Ioannis was an extremely fun ,cheerful and interesting guide who I highly recommend, Thank you Ioannis!!!A beautiful tour with a great guide!!

Ioannis provided the perfect tour of the coastal area, tailoring it to what I was interested in seeing and doing. I think the best part is that he is a really great guy. He’s interesting and funny. Ioannis shares his perspective of a life in Athens and I learned a lot. He’s also a very good driver. Could Not Have Been Better

We had the most incredible experience on our food tour in Athens! From start to finish, our guide Loannis was knowledgeable, engaging, and truly passionate about sharing the best of Athenian food and culture. The variety of tastings were outstanding…everything from savory to sweet, with fun local drinks along the way. Each tasting told a story and Loannis made sure we understood the history and tradition behind every dish. Not only did we explore hidden culinary gems, but we also got to immerse ourselves in the vibrant local atmosphere. It wasn’t just a food tour…it was a cultural journey that left us with a newfound appreciation for Athens. If you’re visiting this beautiful city and love food, this tour is an absolute must. Thank you Loannis for making it such an unforgettable experience!

Ioannis was fantastic. He met us on time, showed us so much of the city that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen. He was so knowledgeable, his story telling was incredibly engaging. He answered all our questions and we were totally captured from start to finish. He clearly has such a passion for his city. We would 100% recommend. Perfect!

An excellent afternoon with insights that helped my understanding of life in Athens. The tastings were delicious, generous and a great introduction to food and eating in Greece. I did not need to eat again! Convivial conversations with surprising similar interests. I loved it. Thank you. Food Tour par excellence.

Découvrir Athènes depuis des points de vue privilégiés, c'est l'expérience extraordinaire que nous a fait vivre Ioannis. Ioannis est cultivé et accessible, avec passion et humour, il nous a fait découvrir les lieux communs remplis d'histoire, mais aussi d'autres joyaux inconnus tout aussi fascinants. Un grand merci !Le meilleurs guide pour découvrir Athènes
