I have been to Athens many times, so this was one of the few tours I had not done. If you have seen the major sites of Athens, this tour is interesting as it covers archaeological parks not covered elsewhere.
Different type of tour taking in off the beaten paths. Eleni guide was very interesting. Happy to see parts of Athens not so touristy
Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. This is 3 hour walking tour. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you
Out guide Helena was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour is off the beaten path and showed Athens from a less tourist side. The hills are beautiful and the views are breathtaking! We will do it again for sure! I highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your good words! Helena is so glad to meet a group of young clever people with their great teachers. We hope to see you again in Athens!
Great tour! We took a baby along, and he was a handful a few times. She was very patient with us and our slow moving group, as well as exceptionally knowledgeable.
Thank you so much for your good words! Our guide was so glad to meet you!
<p>Our tour got off to a bit of a rough start, as our guide arrived a few minutes late and admitted hed been out partying the night before later he mentioned he also does a nightlife tour, so maybe these were related??. But as in the movie My Life in Ruins, there is always time for a coffee he had a to-go coffee even though he was late. My husband and I exchanged glances and perhaps a smirk, and set off on our tour we were the only ones on this day. We soon warmed up to our guide he was very knowledgeable and could answer anything we asked. Even though we have been to Athens numerous times, we still saw and learned many new things. It was such a lovely walk in the spring with the wildflowers, but a warning: it would be brutally hot in summer!!</p>
<p>Fabulous tour. It was incredibly interesting and enjoyable. Guide Dionysus was very knowledgable and pleasant. I'd recommend this tour highly.</p>
<p>Wonderful walking tour of Athens. We visited major sites as well as beautiful hidden neighborhoods that we would not have otherwise seen.</p>
<p>Eleni is an excellent tour leader, with stacks of information not just on the ancient history and culture of Athens, but its story and cultural evolution throughout the centuries to the present day. We loved the way she linked past and present, with stories and synthesis round every corner. Knowing there were young teenagers with us, she had bought some koulouri for us, and she tried to make the trip interesting for them as well. Thank you for an excellent tour.</p>
