A Great First Look at Athens! - This tour really was full of hidden gems; a quick, but excellent overview of the heart of Athens. Dimitris is friendly, outgoing, and an outstanding host/guide. He not only provided great information about Athens and its history, but excellent recommendations for the rest of my stay. Highly recommend pitting this on your list of tours in Athens.

Stoics,Gyros, and lots of laughs - George was great. We couldn’t have chosen a better guide. We came to Athens as part of our philosophy class - in which we learned about Stoicism - and George didn’t just show us the actual place where this philosophy was born but he was able to describe it in such a relaxed and relatable manner that the entire tour felt more like walking through Athens with a local friend, who just happens to be an archeologist and has actually worked on some of the very recent excavations! We covered not just the past but also current attractions, ranging from honey markets to temples, guards and where to find the best gyros or iced coffee. All well organized and personal. Great experience and highly recommend. I will do again with the next class!

You won’t be disappointed - I was advised by a friend to take a tour with Demetrius and I am SO glad I did! Demetrius was very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a great guided tour! He was patient and answered all of our questions. He gave us some delicious recommendations for food which exceeded our expectations!!! I highly recommend this tour, as you will get a local’s take on some beautiful areas and he will even take a picture of you! Wish I had done this tour the first day I was in Athens but am so glad I did it!!!
