"Markella was excellent! Very friendly and knowledgeable and great making things interesting for our kids. They were flagging a bit by the time of the museum but she took us on a quick highlights tour which was great."
"Evanthia was a wonderful tour guide. She was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. We had a wonderful three hours with her on the most perfect evening to see the acropolis in the museum."
"From the minute we met Alex we felt welcomed and knew we were in the right hands. Alex is knowledgeable and his passion for the Acropolis and Greek history is infectious. He had both of my boys intrigued and catered the tour towards them, weaving the tales of Greek mythology throughout the relics in the museum and then connected this through to our exploration of the archaeological site at the Acropolis itself. He was friendly and patient with my boys, allowing for multiple bathroom and water breaks for them too. My husband and I have toured the Acropolis previously, but it was no where near as magical as being guided by Alex. We had such a wonderful time and would highly recommend Alex to anyone wanting to experience Athens with both a friend and a guide. "
"Markella gave us a wonderful tour of the Acropolis and museum. We were a group of 11 and our ages ranged from 9-50. Her stories kept everyone engaged and interested. We all learned so much about this remarkable place and its long history! She is very kind, friendly, and engaging. We highly recommend Markella! "
"Ioannis (Yani) was the perfect tour guide. Chatty and informative and always engaging. Fed us things and took us places we never would have done by ourselves. "
"We spent a wonderfull time with Dionysis. We merged 2 tours: Highlights and hidden gems of Athens and Fodd tour in Athens. Before the tour, he was really accessible and flexible, and customized the tour with our preferences. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyable, we could feel how passionate he is about his city.
The food we tasted was amazing, and he recommended great places for the rest of our stay. We recommend him without a hesitation!

Amazing tour of Acropolis
"Arianna guided us on a tour of the acropolis Hill and the acropolis Museum. Her knowledge of the history and architecture of the Acropolis is astounding. Over the course of five hours she was never at a loss for interesting descriptions and historical background of the things we were seeing. She happily and thoroughly answered every question that we had and she was able to keep our teenagers engaged the entire time. She is tireless and very professional. Highly recommended."
