Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"John was very interesting and engaging. He is an excellent storyteller and took the puzzle pieces our kids had on Greek mythology and built it out in a logical way to create a lasting memory woven from our Athens visit. Life long memories created! "
"Georgia was not only an amazing guide on our food tour, but also provided an amazing about of history during our tour. Georgia did a great job breaking up our food stops with excellent choices at every stop. Highly recommend! "
"We had a great visit to the Acropolis and Acropolis museum with Alexandros! He made the museum and Acropolis site come alive with information, illustrations, and stories. He was able to answer questions both about the site and museum as well as on other topics we were interested in. He was patient and pleasant and his English is very good. I would recommend booking Alexandros to get the most out of your time at the sites. "
"We had a lovely morning learning about Athens with Makram. He was easy to talk with and knowledgeable about the city. When it began to rain, we spent some time in a lovey roof top bar with an amazing Acropolis view. "
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Athens, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Athens spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Athens.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Athens, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Athens awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Athens, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Athens. Get ready to explore like a local!

"Joannis was an amazing guide. He first made us discover a local restaurant so we could have breakfast before the tour. Then, we had an enjoyable round tour of the Attica peninsula and visited the temple of Poseidon. Without forgetting a few surprises along the way. We highly recommend Joannis without reservation."
"John (Ioannis) was a wonderful guide, full of energy and enthusiasm. He had prepared well to tailor our experience for my 16 year old granddaughter’s interest in mythology and philosophy, keeping her captivated and engaged for the entire afternoon. We finished with a visit to the changing of the guard. Ioannis had served as a guard, and was able to give us an insider’s perspective. We marched in right behind the arriving guards which was a special treat, and meant we had a front row viewing position for the ceremony (No one but a local would have known you could do this) It was a completely fascinating afternoon- a real highlight! "
"Arianna was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable on her history of the Acropolis. She also brought us to a local restaurant so we could have breakfast before the tour. We recommandation here without hesitation."
"Vasiliki was great! Super knowledgeable about food, culture and the city. She was so fun and patient with our questions. We had great conversations around the language and the food, and she really helped explain the market and where and how locals were eating. She does other tours around Greece and the islands as well which we would without question take; Vasiliki’s personality is well-suited to being an engaging and interesting guide. We tried a wide variety of Greek staples and you should go with her on a tour to do the same! Very worth the time and cost; she is great company. "
"I’ve been to Athens before, but Thomas gave me fresh insights into places I’d been before and introduced me to spots I had never seen. His deep love of history really came through, and he was easy company — friendly, engaging, and with a great sense of pace. A thoroughly enjoyable way to experience the city."
"We enjoyed our tour with Dimitris so much. First of all you will eat and eat and eat and always be happy with what you’re eating. We really appreciated the family run and independent and specialty places he took us for traditional and delicious Greek food. We also enjoyed his company. He was happy to answer questions about the culture and society. "
