The tour was very fun but at the same time we learned a lot about the city. Alexandros was very polite, knowledgable and fun to speak to. He showed us all the best spots and as we asked to see the markets, he tailored the tour so we could do that. At the markets we tried some food and the best olives from this area. We would recommend the tour to everyone.

A great way to feel like a local!
Aris was on top of it from the time I sent my first message inquiring about a tour to the moment he dropped us off! The island was nice and the water was perfect for snorkeling. We had the best day slashing around and playing fun watersports. The island tour had amazing views. Would 10/10 recommend!

Highly Recommended
The tour with Alexandros Was interesting, highly informative, and the food I got to try was delicious. Alexandros is highly knowledgeable and welcoming, he even added loads of historical facts to the tour, even though it was meant to be a food tour. By the end of the tour, it felt like I gained a new friend!

Fantastic tour with Alex
Alex provided a great overview of Thessaloniki's complex history. With our limited time in port, we were able to gain an understanding of this fascinating city. He even took us to the perfect place to enjoy some delicious baklava and greek coffee. He was friendly and engaging throughout our tour and responsive to our interests and questions.

Boat trip with Aris
Our family had a fantastic day enjoying the water off the coast of Athens! The water is crystal clear and very enjoyable. Aris provided everything - delicious food, drinks, masks and snorkels. Aris is the Greek brother you wish you had - he is kind, easy to be with, knowledgeable and very fun! This excursion was a highlight of our trip and we feel lucky to have spent the day with Aris!

Unforgettable time
Wow, we had an amazing day with Aris. He was so kind and attentive, we had a lot of fun during the day. The ride with the boat was great, although it was a bit shorter than we expected, but at the end it was the perfect combination of swimming, playing, walking and eating. The food was incredible and all fresh. We enjoyed the isle so much, all private for us. Thanks again!!!
