Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I warned Alex in advance that I was bringing a mythology and history major with me … he did not disappoint! He did an amazing job of bringing the Acropolis and Parthenon to life and had all the mythological tea to spill on the gods and goddesses. Truly an education and also highly entertaining. He can do it all and is an absolute delight to spend a day with. Bonus - he brings pictures making it so easy for your imagination to keep up with the story telling. And, he knows all the good photo spots. PS trust him when he gently insists on real tennis shoes. "
"Evanthia was an exceptional guide for my Acropolis and museum tour. Her deep knowledge of Greek mythology and the history of Ancient Greece brought every site and artifact to life. She had a gift for weaving stories that were both informative and engaging, making complex historical context easy to understand and appreciate. Her passion for her country’s heritage was evident in every detail she shared. The entire experience was thoughtful, memorable, and far exceeded my expectations. I left with a greater appreciation for ancient Greece thanks to her insight and enthusiasm. I highly recommend Evanthia to anyone seeking a truly enriching and personal tour."
"John was exceptional. Because we have been to Greece several times, we wanted to go a bit deeper and signed up for the History and Mythology tour. It was fantastic. John was excited when we knew something he was telling us and built on what we knew. He was equally excited when we didn't know about it and he could tell us so much more. He never lectured. He talked. The three hours passed too quickly. He left us feeling that we could talk with him every day and learn something more. Truly enjoyed our time together. "
"Alexandros was an absolute delight! He knows his content and his language skills are impeccable. Do not hesitate to have him guide you through your Acropolis visit. He advised seeing the site first and museum last which I believe to be the best choice as well. Do not skip the museum visit as it pulls in the details of the history, especially with a knowledgeable guide. Also, as he advised, an 8:00AM start is best for weather and crowd management. "
"Arianna has a wealth of knowledge about Greek history, she is sharing a lot of information during the tour, perfect for people who want to learn about Greek History. She was also very generous with her time and gave us a comprehensive tour of the Museum after visiting Acropolis. She is very organized and made sure we had everything ready for the tour ahead of time. "
"We took a morning tour of the Acropolis yesterday with Arianna that turned into a really fun and informative cultural experience. Arianna is warm, friendly, and delivers her deep knowledge of Greek history, language and contemporary life with a quick wit. We were two couples and she somehow made us feel like we had the place to ourselves. We highly recommend her. Thanks, Arianna."
"We had the pleasure of touring the Acropolis with Costas. We had visited years ago, but it was much more interesting and insightful taking the private tour with Costas. His knowledge and anecdotes made for an amazing experience. It was especially meaningful as we were visiting on Easter Weekend to learn some of the Greek Orthodox history and traditions. He even took the extra effort after our tour to send us live photos of ceremonies and traditions we had discussed. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this great outing! "
"John did a great job for us. He helped find a place for our luggage since we met him right after getting out of the airport. He was understanding and worked with us since we were late meeting him from the airport. The tour was great and the kids enjoyed it too (which is the hardest part). He was funny and interactive with the kids and the adults. He took us to some good places and was very knowledgeable. "
"Markella is extremely knowledgeable and provided us with detailed historical information throughout the tour. She could answer all of our (many) questions and did that in a truly interesting way. Walking around these amazing historic sites could not have been more exciting! "
