Perfect start to our visit to Athens - This was a great walking tour. We weee out of season so there was only 5 of us in the group. The guide Dimitris was knowledgable and full of information. Keep him talking and ask him questions he has lots of advice. Although 2hours you are staying mostly in two areas where there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars as well as shopping and great views. This tour really set us up for our few days in Athens. He also left us a with a map of his recommendations for bars, cafes etc. I totally recommend this trip

Best Walking Tour we’ve ever done! - Every year our group of friends go on a city break which starts with a guided tour. Our Athens tour, lead by the wonderful George, was the best city tour we have ever done. George was able to turn the complex history of Athens into a series of colourful and compelling stories which brought the past to life! We left the tour with an armful of tips of where to go for the rest of our trip. On a personal note, George was charming, clever, humourous and passionate. If you come to Athens you must do a George tour!

Brilliant Walking Tour - This was a fantastic introductory walking tour to set us up for our first time in Athens. We were sent plenty of messages in advance and the meeting point was easy to find. Our tour guide was Dimitris who was friendly and so knowledgeable. We walked for nearly two hours and covered most of the sites to see mainly from the outside but with the odd trip into the cathedral and a couple of lovely churches. It gave us a great oversight for the rest of our trip. Dimitris gave us loads of links for restaurants and other sites so was well worth doing. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice experience! - I went on the city tour yesterday evening, with Dimitris as our guide. It was a nice small group with a lot of personal attention: we could ask anything we wanted and he would answer. He showed us some very nice places in Athens and also helped us making pictures. He had a lot of interesting information to tell about everything we saw and after the tour he sent us his list with favorite places and recommendations, and we can still send him a message for help, for the rest of our stay! Excellent service!
