Great tour with a perfect guide
Bianca was our guide but it felt like my wife and I were taking a walk with a longtime friend. The tour was excellent, covering several Athens neighborhoods and Bianca filled us with an appreciation of each neighborhood as it is currently and its rich history. Her easy manner and vast knowledge, which she easily communicated,made this day memorable and we highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Bianca to.anyone visiting. Athens. An afternoon well spent.

Acropolis Tour with Georgia
Wonderful expierence for our family of 5 visiting from the States. We did a private tour with Georgia who was entertaining, and very knowledgable of the history. We had a delicious coffee break towards the end. As a true fan of Greek mythology this was a fantstic way to spend the morning. Highly recommend!!

5 stars. Highly recommend!
Our Athens walking tour with Bianca was absolutely phenomenal! Her historical knowledge, warm personality, and incredible storytelling made the experience truly unforgettable. She took us to hidden gems we never would have found on our own, bringing the city to life in the most magical way. Bianca made the tour incredibly comfortable and engaging for my daughters, taking us to a stunning coffee shop with an Acropolis view, the best Greek yogurt shop, and charming local mini restaurants. She truly knows Athens inside out and made sure we experienced the city like real locals If you’re visiting Athens, booking this tour with Bianca is a must — you won’t regret it!

Private Walking Tour was Perfect!
The private walking tour of Athens was perfect for us. This was our first visit to Athens and we had only one morning to see as much as possible. Bianca was our guide and she was fabulous! She tailored the tour to our needs and our speed. She was a wealth of information, providing history and fun facts. We really lucked out having Bianca as our guide. It was easy to find the meeting point using Google Maps.

Wonderful experience
Bianca was beyond wonderful! She is knowledge and personable and able to adjust the tour to clients’ needs. We learned so much, saw sites in Athens accessible only on foot, and walked,walked,walked, so be prepared! We highly recommend Bianca and this tour.

Best tour we've ever had-perfect first Athens experience
Bianca was beyond description as a tour guide; fun, funny, engaging, eager to share her country with us and a wonderful storyteller. We've done many city tours, but this beat them all, and by a huge margin. Licensed tour guides in Greece are required to have advanced degrees and/or complete extensive training, and it shows. We had already walked around some on our own, but seeing it with Bianca was a totally different experience. She gave us SO MANY details that we'd have missed-why the Parliament guards wear what they do, march the way they do; the significance of the many details inside an Orthodox church; how and why the various neighborhoods developed and differ from each other. We experienced everything I'd hoped to see and more, except climbing the Acropolis (which isn't on this tour, but 360 views of it are!).
Can you do Athens on your own? Sure. Will you miss anything? ABSOLUTELY! Do this tour-you won't regret it.

Highly recommend
Bianca was an amazing guide. She was very warm, friendly, knowledgeable and informative. She showed us various sights and gave us an insight into Athens, the history and culture. She messaged me very soon after I booked the tour and confirmed the meeting place etc.
We were a party of 2 couples and we all came away saying how lovely Bianca is and that it was the best tour we have done. I highly recommend this tour.

Best tour ever!!
We had a private 4 hour tour of the acropolis and the surrounding neighborhood plaka and it was incredible! Our guide Eli was extremely knowledgeable great to chat with, she was great about finding shady spots around the tour to stop and give explanations. We could hardly tell it was the peak of a heat wave! The coffee break halfway through was a nice break and allowed us to chat and get to know our guide a bit better! I can't recommend this experience enough! Do yourself a favour and book with Be a Greek, it completely enhanced the experience for us!

Amazing!
Bianca was a wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide. She was amazing with my 14 year old daughter who is very into history and mythology. It was more like walking around with a friend than a tour guide. Would recommend to anyone wanting to tour Athens!
