About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 2BlueDevils0 contributionsDon't miss this refreshing, crowd-free tour in AthensOur Athens Street Ark Walk was one of the best things we did during our three week trip to Europe. After seeing LOTS of famous buildings, fountains, museums and churches, it was a refreshing change to get away from the crowds and spend several hours seeing parts of Athens we never would have ventured into on our own. Our guide Nick was wonderful - he led us to interesting, challenging public art and helped us understand what life is like for people who live and work in Athens.Written 16 January 2025
- rotem t0 contributionsIntimate and personal. A prefect way to experience the less traveled neighborhoodsWe had a very short time in Athens. We chose to experience the less traveled neighborhoods and stumbled upon this street art tour. Our guide was the lovely Nikos. It was off season, so we were a very small group, which allowed for a more intimate tour. Nikos was very lovely and interesting, he really brought himself and his interests to the tour, and we felt like we benefited a lot from this. We had some time to bond with our fellow participants, over coffee, as the tour allowed for it. We found it very nice and something that improved the experience. We left Nikos after the tour, not before he gave us some nice recommendations for food and such. We had a lovely time, and we highly recommend this tour.Written 13 January 2025
- B5875NXpaulinap0 contributionsGreek MythologyAfter Barcelona stay, on September 9 was time to flight to Athens, Greece, my husband and me were very excited to go there because this Athens vacation was postponed twice and finally we were in this city full of ancient history, Mythology, goddess and museums. Like always , we took the city sightseeing Athens-Piraeus- Beaches tour starting from $26 euros to visit important historic places like Acropolis and Parthenon, Temple of Zeus, the Olympic stadium, the red line takes you to most historic places, the green line goes to cruise terminal, planetarium ,the purple line goes to beach and Riviera where you have beautiful views of the city and the coast. Another enjoyable place is Syntagma Square here every hour you can see the presidential guard change. Kolonaki area is full of restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops and at night you can enjoy the acropolis illuminated and take beautiful pictures, To enjoy this historic city we stayed at Athens Tiare by Mage Hotels near train station Omonoia , restaurants, shopping, buses, hop-on-hop -off stop, and from this hotel you walk 15 minutes to museum of Art, Greek opera house and others . We enjoyed our visit to this beautiful city and felt excited to be there standing next to these important places that we learned in high school. To visit this historic place you need at least 5 days and if you want to visit the Islands should be have more days available. Recommendation, From the airport don't take a taxi , it's very expensive, take the train, ask questions how to change trains to get to your hotel. be aware of the pickpockets specially in the train and stations, choose comfortable shoes to walk. the is not problem with language most people speak English. Enjoy your next vacation in Athens you will not regret it .Written 11 January 2025

- 1981ES0 contributionsHighly recommendThis was a fantastic tour that we highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens. Our guide, Alex, was amazing at weaving history and mythology and it made visiting the Acropolis and agora all the more rich an experience. Definitely a highlight of our visit to AthensWritten 7 January 2025
- Flyer7574560 contributionsPaid the full amount for mistakenly scheduling the wrong date.We came especially to the meeting place but turned out we signed up for the next day. By then it was a little less than 24 hours cancellation - around 23 hours. They had no other tour on that day and the following day we took a flight so paid the full amount and got nothing!! Very disappointing customer service!Written 7 January 2025
- cvonderohe0 contributionsGood highlights tour of the Acropolis and AgoraI selected this tour for my family, including 9 and 12 year old children, after debating between this and a more kid-focused tour. My children have done well with adult tours and already know a lot about Greek mythology thanks to Percy Jackson so we went for this one. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate. She knew the material very well and answered our many questions. We packed a lot into 4 hours. I didn't give it 5 stars because she was difficult to understand at times. She spoke very quickly and we had to ask her to repeat herself or ask clarification questions. She didn't make an extra effort to engage the kids which is fine, but I've seen other guides do this very well while still keeping the adult tour on track. Overall very good but with a bit of improvement would easily be 5 stars.Written 5 January 2025
- cvonderohe0 contributionsFun and informative activity in AthensMy 9 year old son and I had a great time with Ioli doing the Olympic Games workout. She did a great job explaining some of the different sports and helping us give them a try. A very nice change to some of the other sightseeing activities we were doing in Athens.Written 5 January 2025
- norafE9006GZ0 contributionsGreat tour!We had a great walking tour with Andreas to visit the neighborhoods of Athens! We learned many things about Athens' culture and history we would never have known otherwise. Andreas was very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend!Written 5 January 2025
- chrisdU69BE0 contributionsThe Mythology Highlights TourWe went on The Mythology Highlights Tour. Our guide was nice, attentive and knowledgeable. Our tour was everything I wanted it to be.Written 3 January 2025
- Hannele D0 contributionsInteresting street art off the beaten track in AthensA very interesting walking tour exploring street art with Niko who had a degree in graphic design (or similar) so was very knowledgeable about the topic, the different types of street art, the artists etc. We actually ended up having a private tour as nobody else had signed up, so had very interesting chats with Niko along the way. Really enjoyed, besides street art, visiting neighbourhoods of Athens we probably otherwise would not have visited, and hearing about their history. If you want a break from all the gorgeous ancient Grèce stuff this tour is an excellent option.Written 1 January 2025
- SassyCassieB0 contributionsAndreas is a great host!Amazing host that shared the history of Greece and the multicultural influences of the food and people of Athens. Andreas was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable.Written 1 January 2025
- Mikejthomas0 contributionsIncredible tour with a knowledgable, fantastic guide (Elena)!Couldn’t recommend this enough for both people who are interested in Greek mythology and those who haven’t read much about it!! The tour covers the major sites of the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora, really bringing to life the myths and history of the city of Athens. Elena’s impressive and inspiring knowledge is what really made the tour special. As a history lover, it was refreshing to have a tour guide who was so engaging and passionate about the history, and from many different perspectives - archaeological, social, cultural, economic and more. Elena not only answered any questions we had, but encouraged rich and insightful discussions that were both a pleasure to have and enriched our knowledge of the world of Ancient Athens. One of the best tours we’ve ever been on, worth every cent!Written 30 December 2024
- Keyu L0 contributionsPerfect start to our Athens adventureWe couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off our trip to Athens! This orientation tour truly lived up to its name, helping us get our bearings while exploring some vibrant neighborhoods in and around the city center. Our guide, Elissavet, was outstanding — knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly attentive. She patiently answered all of our questions and made frequent stops to ensure we fully soaked in the experience. Despite the freezing weather (by Athenian standards), the tour extended nearly an hour over its scheduled time, which we deeply appreciated (and she had confirmed with us at the beginning of our trip). Elissavet went above and beyond by following up with a detailed email recommending restaurants and must-visit spots, which would be invaluable for the rest of our trip. This tour set the tone for an amazing stay in Athens, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!Written 29 December 2024
- Halek H0 contributionsGreat start to our family vacationWe are on a family vacation with our teenager / young adults and were looking for a fun way to explore Athens and its rich food culture. The small group food tour was definitely a highlight for all of us! Andreas, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable and offered a good mix of history, personal stories and cultural insights while walking with us through the different neighborhoods. The food stops we made were well balanced, ranging from breakfast, oil-tasting, to street food, coffee and sweets. We will definitely re-visit some of the places we discovered on the tour!Written 27 December 2024

Locals know all the best places to eat and this tour provides you with that knowledge and many delicious treats. Pavlina was a excellent guide who explained to us the fascinating history that entwines food and Greek culture through the ages in one great tour. We had a really fun day. We explored parts of Athens we would have not found ourselves and and ate a good variety of yummy Greek food. Thank you Pavlina we will highly recommend the tour to our friends.
