"We had the perfect day with Ioannis, exploring the Peloponnese region. Ioannis was a great guide, very kind and responsive to all of our pre-booking questions. He tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted. As a guide he was very respectful, friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Greek mythology and history from ancient to modern times. This tour was a great highlight to our trip through Greece and Ioannis made it even more special. "

"Ioannis is truly a 'Master Guide'! He is a man of many talents and spending the day with him was like seeing an old friend for a long chat about many different things. We enjoyed being out of the city for the day and the southern coastline was beautiful. The Temple of Poseidon was impressive and definitely worth the trip. We stopped for dinner on the way back to the city and saw an amazing sunset over a marina. We were two couples traveling together. A memorable day was had by all. We highly recommend him to you. "

"Thank you Thomas for such a great tour of the area outside of Athens! On this tour Thomas will take you to the local spots that are not visited by the average tourist. We had an excellent lunch in full view of the Poseidon's Temple. Stopped at a few local spots along the way for views and food. Thomas is super friendly, helpful and has great knowledge of Greek history and really bought our tours of the city to a higher level. Highly recommend Thomas for your next tour!"

"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. "

"Thomas met us at our hotel and he took us to some amazing out of the way places south of Athens on the coast. He had drinks, snacks, his mom’s homemade Christmas cookies (amazing). He brought umbrellas and a knee brace for my wife, who had hurt her knee. We saw private beaches, a volcanic lake and a seaside chapel. We saw the monument and had dinner at a beautiful gyro shop on the way home. I give Thomas and his tour 10 out of 10. It was an amazing and informative day. "

"We (2 adults, 18 yo and 12 yo) drove from Athens to Cape Sounion in a roomy van. Nikos checked in advance and knew of a Santa run in downtown Athens so we met a couple of blocks from the hotel to avoid closed roads. He’s just completed an archeology degree and is extremely up to date on that information. We ate at a place he knew and it was one of our best meals. He showed us an ancient silver mine and reviewed the way the ore was handled, including a sluice that recycled freshwater. "

"We spent about six hours with Ioannis starting in Athens, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. Our goal was to get outside the city and experience Greece like a local—and he delivered that and more. He took us along the stunning Sounion coast to see the Temple of Poseidon, then brought us to a truly non-touristy restaurant right on the water for lunch. The food was hands-down the best and most authentic we had during our 2+ weeks traveling through Italy and Greece, with a beautiful view to match. Ioannis was delightful, engaging, and incredibly personable. He even surprised us with a quick visit to his adorable mother-in-law who insisted we pick some fruit from her lovely garden. He showed us how to drink ouzo properly (delicious!) and had the loveliest conversations—it felt warm, genuine, and completely unplanned in the best way. We started our trip with a week in Rome, followed by a 7-day cruise, and ended with four days in Athens, and our time with Ioannis truly stood out as a special, memorable experience. If you want to see Greece beyond the guidebooks and spend time with someone who genuinely loves sharing his country, we couldn’t recommend him more."

"We had a fabulous day with nikos! He was very responsive and accommodating. Excellent explanations, very personable and worked with our timing and interests. "

"We had a wonderful day with Nikos, who is an excellent guide and a very nice person. He is incredibly intelligent and shared so much history with us. He was so accommodating and very pleasant to be with. We had a great experience and highly recommend you take a tour with Nico. He was amazing and gave all five people in our group a great experience!"
