Costa was great and very informed about the area and its surroundings. It was nice to purchase the tickets in advance, skip a bunch of the lines, and see more of Athens. It was a great tour with a lot of great information.

Great introduction to Athens
Great walking to Tour and we recovered lots of ground, even more than we thought in the 1.5–2 hour introduction. Perfect way to put context to the city and some of the histories/archaeology of Athens, would highly recommend.

Interesting and informative
Our family of four spent three hours with Dionysis walking around central Athens. We were taken to fascinating areas away from the tourist hot spots. Dionysis told us many interesting facts and answered our questions clearly. He also provided links to recommended eating places and good, practical advice about where and when to see the sights. We would recommend Dionysis without reservation.

Amazing Afternoon Tour With Irini
My husband and I had a fantastic walking tour with Irini. Her knowledge of the city and the neighborhoods were amazing and made the city come to life. We loved her stories on the history and mythology of Athens. She is such an engaging and gracious guide and we would recommend that anyone thinking of booking this tour do so and choose Irini.
