It was a 10❤️
John showed us an Athens. He never would have seen walking about on our own. He loves his city and his country and it showed with every comment he made. He was so friendly and outgoing. Our experience with Chan could not have been better!

Amazing experience!
With only one day in Athens, my family knew we wanted to make the most of it. Markella was a phenomenal guide. Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and able to tailor the tour to exactly what my family wanted to see. Would recommend to anyone looking to see Athens!

Fantastic tour of Athens
Dionysius gave us a wonderful tour of Athens which included many hidden treasures that we never would have found by ourselves.
He was knowledgeable and provided facts and information at each stop. He even took the time to provide restaurant tips & he also sent other tips for Athens to us via WhatsApp.

Dionysis did a very good job! Of course he was very knowledgeable about the city and he gave us great recommendations for the remainder of our trip. I would definitely book with him again.

We were delayed in meeting Tatialena but she waited for us and provided a great tour. She was fun and the pace of the tour met our needs.

Like Seeing Athens With A Local Friend
I enjoyed my tour of Athens with Spyros. Even though I’d been through some of the locations previously, he showed me what I hadn’t seen before including those that were less touristy.
He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Athens and its history. His perspective from a life in the city added greatly to the tour and is exactly why I was looking for.

Amazing Tour
Agnis is amazing. We had no real plans or ideas, but she took us to the most beautiful spots. It was easy & fun. Both the driver, Nick & Agni were so kind & easy going. Highly recommend going to Oia, Red beach, Black Beach, lunch at Forty one for the most delicious beach front meal and finished in Fira.

Perfect!
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.

Recommended Tour with John
John is an excellent tour guide, who was also able to connect and personalize the tour for our 14 yo daughter. You won’t be disappointed.
