Testimonials

"This tour was excellent! A three hour walk through the most interesting districts of Athens looking at the latest street art. Our guide Nikos was superb - well informed, engaged, and super friendly."

Costi S

"Our guide Nadia was amazing. Her narrative was engaging, and she made sure everything we saw came alive. Going through these sites without her storytelling would not have been even 5% as much fun."

"Excellent full day tour with really good guides. Thanks for the many fascinating stories, for the really good local food and talks, it is definitely something worth to try! George, our archaeologist tour guide in Delphi was fascinating, telling ancient Greek myths and stories in both very professional and friendly manner."
