A great way to start our trip!

Published on Jun, 2023

A great way to acquaint ourselves with Athens and the sites near our hotel.we enjoyed our guide and appreciated him sharing his knowledge of food and shopping sites. We felt much more comfortable exploring on our own after the tour.

Amazing afternoon in Athens to remember

Published on Jan, 2020

My husband, our 10 year old son and me stayed only 1 day in Athens but wanted to see whatever we could manage. We requested a guided walk with Urania but we specified to her what we need, what our son can handle etc. She made a perfect customized plan and we had an amazing afternoon with her where she took us to many places and explained everything to us. It was like meeting a fried who totally understood what we need. She is a very nice, kind and relaxed person and we highly recommend her. She really made a difference! Thank you a lot Urania!

Fun start to a great vacation

Our guide was Yorgos and what a great way to start a trip in Athens!! He was so friendly and so much fun. Not only did he show us some of the bigger things to see, he also took us around to some of his local favorites so we knew where to go back to. It was such a great way to start off our stay in Athens and Yorgos was the perfect ambassador to do it!!
