The best!

Our tour was fantastic! Nasos our guide with Anglofone Greek Tours was a wealth of knowledge & shared so much about his country with us. We and our luggage were picked up from 2 different hotels & timely delivered to our ship after our tour. We highly recommend!

Awesome Athens Tour

Our Athens tour with George was absolutely incredible and a highlight of our trip! We really felt like we got a feel for the city and learned SO much. Doing a private tour of the city is so much better than the group tours of the Acropolis, etc. A much more tailored experience. George was very kind, knowledgeable and flexible. He stopped and showed us many different areas and buildings throughout the city, not just the main attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day! We did two tours with this company and very happy with our experience all around.

Perfect tour guide for American families - every detail is covered and understood

Themis was the perfect guide for our day in Santorini. It was easy to find him when we got off the cable car, and from there an amazing day began. He took us to a restaurant overlooking the water to start the day with a coffee and juice for the kids. It was incredibly peaceful and informative. From there we walked all of Santorini, skipping the lines of selfie-taking tourists to find the right spots at the right times for the right shots. Temas was a great photographer along the way, and he called out all of the sites we needed to pay attention to. We covered so much ground, both on foot and by car. The highlight of the day for me was a lunch on the beach, followed by a spontaneous jump into the sea on a black sand beach with the children. It was truly amazing. We ended the day with a stop at a roadside bakery that had handmade desserts. The baklava was awesome. Themis kept the whole family engaged, including the kids (9, 11, and 15), as his English and Greek are perfect, so there are no words lost in translation between us on the tour and the locals that he knows all too well. He was born in the U.S. but spent a ton of time in Greece growing up with his family. He's the perfect mix for Americans looking for a tour guide in Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, and beyond. I really wish him and his company well as they continue to grow.

Athens our way

Driver was on time and actually waiting for us at our hotel. He was very curious and aware of our comfort. He allowed as much time as we wanted at scheduled stops. Allowed us to change the itinerary to me our needs. Great your! I highly recommend this tour company.

Unforgettable Athens Tour

Themis made our time in Greece absolutely unforgettable! Fluent in both English and Greek, he effortlessly bridged the local culture with our group’s interests, making every stop come alive with history, humor, and heart. In Athens, we explored ancient landmarks like the Acropolis, Agora museum, Olympic stadium and Plaka with fascinating stories that went far beyond the typical facts. Themis shared local insights, hidden gems, and even introduced us to authentic spots for gyros, iced Greek coffee and pastries away from the tourist crowds. Professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about Greek culture — our guide made the experience seamless and memorable. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a deeper, more authentic experience in Greece!

Great tour of Athens

George was an excellent guide. He picked us up from the cruise ship and really showed us Athens. His knowledge of Greek history is quite impressive. Could not have asked for a better guide.

Tour of Athens from cruise port to our Hotel

Themis was recommended by our guide on Santorini. He picked us up at the cruise port and over the next 8 hours took us to all the sites we wanted to see and then some. His knowledge of the back roads and shortcuts made for an amazing day. We would highly recommend his services

Perfect day with an excellent guide

I was vacationing with my son and selected this private tour to see all the famous landmarks in Athens. We had the best time and couldn’t have asked for a better and more professional tour guide. He took us to all the great spots where we spent as much or as little time as we needed. No pressure to rush through any of the sites and had a great time. He helped fund great shops for delicious snacks, mostly for my son! Overall we had a great time and I glad I selected this tour. I will definitely do it again next time I’m back in Athens. I highly recommend this guide!
