Great way to start our trip
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!

Eat locally and enjoy Athens greatly
Voula is a wonderful host for Greek culture and food. She makes you feel like you’re having meals with a Greek friend. Food and culture go together and Voula make the 3 hour tour pass quickly you don’t want it to end.

Alexandros was a fantastic guide!
We so appreciated the visuals Alexandros brought to our tour of the Acropolis. Instead of us trying to imagine what areas looked like, the representations he showed us brought the area to life for us.

Tour guide w/ 3 advanced degrees!
We learned so much about the Acropolis from Costas. Incredibly knowledgeable and excellent at tying what we saw at the Acropolis to what we saw in the museum. A fascinating story teller. AND he outpaced us all lol. We were so tired at the end of the tour (brains and bodies) & he looked like he could go out and do 3 more tours!
