Ioannis is a great tour guide. We had a nice afternoon walking around the different districts and eating a LOT of different foods. The stories he told that explained why he chose each food were very interesting and made us try new things. Go hungry though because Ioannis does not like to waste food!!😊 It was a great day! Great way to start our trip

I cannot say enough good things about Ioannis!!! He took us on an extraordinary tour discovering some true hidden treasures of Athens. We learned so much about Greek history and culture. He tailored the tour to our specific interests and made the experience more like visiting with an old friend. I highly recommend taking this tour with Ioannis!! We can’t wait to come back and visit again. Great Athens experience

We spent a day with Ioannis on the Cape Sounio & Temple of Poseidon Private Day Trip. What a treat! After picking us up at our hotel, Ioannis took us on a very scenic drive along the Greek coast to Cape Sunnio. The experience at the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon could not have been any different than the chaotic one we had the day before at the Acropolis. The Temple of Poseidon was just as spectacular in its own way, but without the crowds. But be prepared for the wind. It was fierce the day we went. Following our visit to the temple, Ioannis took us to a nearby village where we had a leisurely lunch and even dipped our toes in the Aegean Sea! We had a great time sitting and visiting with Ioannis. His knowledge of local history is remarkable and he really makes it come to life. This was one of the very best tours we have taken in Europe and I thougt it was a great value. I cannot recommend Ioannis highly enough. A great tour. An even greater guide. A Fantastic Day

Our family of 5 had a terrific 3 hour walking tour with Ioannis. He was incredibly informative and kept our 21, 18 and 16 year olds entertained and engaged. He shared loads of inside information about the areas on our tour, sharing loads of information and pointing out great art galleries and rooftop bars that only locals would know about. A particular highlight was when we ventured into Anofiatika, the “island village” at the base of the Acropolis. Ioannis pointed out all the things that make this area unique that other tours would likely miss. If you’re visiting Athens take a tour with Ioannis! A Friday Walk in Athens

Our family of five (ages 20-57) toured with Ioannis through the streets of Athens. Ioannis took us away from the busiest and most touristy streets and showed us more of the local life of Athens. There were still lots of people in August, but we weren't cramped or pushing through the crowds. Ioannis tailored the tour based on our preferences. We love history and food, and he showed us both. We saw some very interesting historic spots (outside the slopes and Acropolis), like the Agora, the ancient "mall", temples, and others. He spoke about the city's process of uncovering new archeological sites, something he, as a lawyer, knew a lot about. We asked him about good local honey; check. Greek olive oil; check. Seafood restaurants, best gyros/souvlaki, local wines, local clothes shops; check, check, check, check. He showed us a fun artist-funded, below-ground hangout, where we later (off tour) sampled some local wines and tried our first mastiha. The souvlaki we ate after the tour at the restaurant he recommended was the best we had in Athens. Ioannis was very knowledgable and came with such a unique perspective as a widely-traveled and broadly-educated local. He was entertaining and informative, and all five of us had a wonderful day walking the streets of Athens. We highly recommend a tour with Ioannis!Fabulous tour with Ioannis!

On our recent trip to Greece, we wanted to include at tour of Athens which was off the beaten path and particularly included street art. After feeling comfortable with Withlocals, as a company, we chose Yanni (Ioannis) to be our guide. It turned out to be a wonderful choice, as the three hours we had together was filled with wanderings through Athens in areas that we would never have discovered on our own. Yanni had a great sense of humor and knowledge of history and details that made the time fly by. He took us to see non-stop graffiti or as I would rather describe it as street art, as it was a beautiful display of alley after alley of outstanding art. Every gate, every wall covered with fabulous images. In conjunction with viewing all these creations, he shared interesting bits of info related to the art. He combined this with taking us to some unique spots like “Disney” in Athens and other spots, we, again, would never have seen on our own. It was a very memorable time spent with Yanni and I highly recommend him as a knowledgeable, intelligent and interesting guide and most importantly, someone who makes you feel comfortable and whom you can call a friend!Fabulous Guide

Ioannis did a great job! He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. It was hot and we were walking slow and needed breaks and he was great about letting us take them. Loved the honey store and we stopped for some delicious meats and dolmas. Athens with Ioannis
