Alexandros (from withlocals) is very knowledgeable about the history of Athens. He connects current times and vocabulairy with ancient Greek times and all the myths. He's able to show ordinairy day life BC in Athens for your eyes. He's a great storyteller who wants to give you the best time in Athens!

Alexandros was an excellent guide who brought us and our 4 children around the acropolis and acropolis museum. He taught us so much about the history of the acropolis, the gods and goddesses and the origins of each building. He made it interesting for our younger kids too. A super tour!

Without a doubt, the best decision I made in Athens was to book tours through “with locals”! Costas was a fabulous guide for our 3-generation-family on our visit to the Acropolis museum and Acropolis! We visited at the end of September and it was hot! With guidance from Costas we booked a mid-afternoon tour of the museum first and then finished on the Acropolis site in the last session of the afternoon where we enjoyed a setting sun, less crowds and less heat. I would recommend this order of visit to others as in the museum Costas explained the Acropolis site, significance, history and mythology. This meant that when we finally visited the Acropolis site we had a much better understanding of what we were looking at! With Costas as our guide we were able to search for the artefacts that we had just seen up close in the museum and appreciate the engineering, design, and symbolism so much more. Costas is a fabulous storyteller who shared his extensive knowledge with us and made the Acropolis come alive! He was very adaptive and was able to engage my whole family (teenagers, parents and grandparents). He led us to parts of the museum that engaged the children and through his storytelling and explanations left us all with a deep understanding of the beauty, history and significance of this amazing site. Thankyou Costas! You were a highlight of our trip and we feel very fortunate that we were able to discover the Acropolis with you!

Alex absolutely made our stay in Athens. His knowledge was extensive and he quickly and easily flexed his tour based on what we were interested in and the questions we asked. It was like walking around the city and sites chatting with an old friend. Thank you Alex for your passion and sharing your knowledge. You made our stay truly memorable

Alexandros was a first class guide. Knowledgeable, humorous, considerate and accommodating. We learnt so much, the tour exceeded our expectations .
