Private City Kickstart Tour: Athen

The tour guide was nice but it was a very disappointing excursion. It was very difficult to understand the guide because it was so loud and very crowded.. She was talking while we were walking. I It ended up being a frustrating 1-1/2 hours. Because of this, we felt like it wasn’t a good value for the amount of money & time we spent. A suggestion would be to use a wireless audio system even if it is just 2 people. We are usually so happy with booking thru Viator.

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.

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!

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!!

Before meeting the guide, i suggest agreeing on a specific spot to meet as the square is really busy. We had a lovely walk around the city and the guide pointed out interesting spots with advice on where to eat and shop. It made it easier to navigate on our free days.

Absolutely LOVED our 90 min kick starttour with Dionysis. He was very well informed and helpful. Gave us a lot of tips that improved our whole Athens experience! Thank you so much for being so geneorous with your knowledge of Athens and sharing your brilliant tips. It made our whole trip way more enjoyable.

Vicky was an excellent guide she have a nice over view of the area. She enlightened us on some of the Greek Mythology Gods. She also gave us some great recommendations for good local food. Two of which we tried already for dinner last night and lunch today. That's very much Vicky!

I don't even know where to begin with how amazing Yorgos was! My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Greece, and had just over 24 hours to spend in Athens. We hired Yorgos hoping to see the highlights of the city in our short period of time without the frustrations of navigating the city on our own. From the minute we met with Yorgos we knew we made the right decision. Not only is Yorgos very personable and fun to talk with, he is very knowledgable about the history of Athens and you can tell how passionately he feels about Greece and it's colorful history! He showed us the prominent tourist locations in Athens, but also took us to some of his personal favorite spots in the city that few tourists would ever know about. Our time with him just flew by, but I had such a greater appreciation for the area, the history, and the little tidbits of little known facts about Athens after spending an afternoon with Yorgos. We cannot wait to see him again when we come back in 10 years :)

Urania was beyond the perfect guide! She was very pleasant and energetic. She gave us several helpful tips. Urania extended herself beyond our expectations.

I wanted to have a little introduction of a local to the city and that worked great. Anna has shown us nice corners, has responded to our interests and was overall a very pleasant companion. The offer is absolutely recommended, probably no matter who leads, because everyone has different topics and favorite places and the interesting thing are the insights from Dense of those living here. It was really great fun.
