Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an excellent time with Tatialena. She took us to hidden gems and locations for good food, and there were many historical and fun facts along the way. I highly recommend a tour with her!"
"Very friendly and informative guide. Relaxed pace suited us just fine Thank you Jorgos "
"Nikos was an amazing guide, he was generous with his times at the sites we visited, super knowledgeable and informative on all things archeological and historical. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more about Greece and its ancient history. "
"We spent a day on the Peloponnese with Thomas and both learned a ton and had a great time. He communicated with us before the trip to get to know us and our interests. He planned the day so that we were able to see multiple sites without feeling rushed. He had extensive knowledge of the history of each site that he shared in an engaging manner. Thomas also shared many good recommendations for food and activities in Athens, as he wants to make sure visitors enjoy his country. We quickly felt like old friends. "
"Ioannis has been such a nice guide for us! Although we were delayed due to a taxi strike, he took the time to show us around, shared insights and gave us tips that only insiders are aware of. I would highly recommend to book Ioannis! Thank you for making our short trip memorable! "
"We had so much fun on this tour. Voula is very personable and fun to hang out with she will take you to try some greek favorites but also take suggestions if you have something you’d like to try. We feel like we have made a new friend! "
"My colleagues and I had an amazing experience at the Agora, with Ioannis as our guide. He shared fascinating stories about the historical area and took us to a hidden spot known mostly to locals, where we enjoyed a stunning view of the Acropolis — even more magical at night. I went back with 2 colleagues to have dinner on my last night in Athens. Absolutely 10/10 recommend him for anyone visiting!"
"One of the highlights of our trip to Athens was our time with Markella. She was so knowledgeable about the Acropolis. She was very engaging and presented the information in a way we could understand. Markella was wonderful!!! "
"Our family really enjoyed the time we spent with Dionysis. He went out of his way to show us all around Athens, answering all of our questions and giving us so much food for thought. He was incredibly knowledgeable, in fact, the only question he couldn’t answer was about tree identification- understandable as it’s not his expertise! We ended the tour with a sunset view of the Acropolis, and a recommendation for a restaurant that blew us away with good food and hospitality. I’d recommend a tour with Dionysis to anyone who values history and has a curious mind! "
"Evanthia exceeded our expectations! We hoped that we would come away with a better understanding of the Acropolis and she not only provided the facts and stories, but also shared the passion and caring that the Greeks have for their history. She also did a great job of balancing details and historical significance without overwhelming our capacity to absorb the information provided. We strongly recommend Evanthia for anyone wanting to maximize their time at the Acropolis."
