Niki’s walking tour
Nikki was awesome and personable. She was punctual and went above and beyond. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the sites she showed us. We would definitely recommend Nikki to anyone.

Great tour!
I so enjoyed my walking tour with Vasilios - he was very knowledgable, gave me an insiders tour of the fish/meat market with a stop for a little bite to eat- something I would not have seen otherwise. This was a great beginning to a lovely stay in Athens!

Ilektra is a super guide
I just spent over 4 hours with the most delightful, bright young tour guide name Ilektra. She showed me the entire area and I feel as if I made a friend! Had lunch with her on my euros and she showed me a grocery store where I bought all my food for my apartment stay. She is a warm, vibrant woman with passion. Great knowledge, gave me choices on what I wanted to see, and is a wonderful human being who showed me her life and joys. I would highly recommend her. I have many countries all over the world, and she was a treasure. Ask for her if you can!
