"A great way to start off your visit, get your bearings and immerse yourself with a local guide. This small group tour was an in-depth lesson in the history, food, architecture, culture and politics of Greece and Athens through the lens of distinct, beautiful and funky neighborhoods. Andreas, our guide, was top notch!"

Patricia M

"My mom and I came to Athens for only a day and a half and wanted to visit all the main sites during our stay. We are both Greek mythology buffs and loved the weaving of the myths with the history of the city and the sites. Our tour guide Nikos was very knowledgeable and good natured. Would highly recommend this tour!"
