5.00This was an awesome excursion! We saw and learned about so many places and things. Our tour guide, Emily, brought the history to life and she was so kind and personable. When the tour ended. We had a fabulous Greek dinner that was also included in the price of the tour. There was so much food we could not finish it! Wonderful walking tour to say the least!
Excellent experience for the evening

5.00Our guide Theo was exceptionally knowledgeable and very friendly. I'd walked some of the area in the daytime but it took on a different atmosphere at night and especially when I realised things I'd missed. Highly recommend the tour and the dinner was perfect. Thankyou for a wonderful time showing me your beautiful city. I wish you well.

5.00Had a fantastic tour and evening with Theo. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Athen both old and new. He took us to parts of Athens that it would be hard to find on your own even if you knew where to look. We were also given dinner at a fantastic restaurant. The food and company was excellent. I can highly recommend Theo’s tours

5.00Our tour guide for this small group tour was Emily who did an awesome job. She knew the ancient history as well as the modern. She took us places that are more private areas and educated us on all the area. The twilight tour gave a great refreshing perspective. My wife and I highly recommend this tour without any hesitation. We finished with a great dinner.
Fun night of city highlights and dinner

5.00Traveling solo and wanted to see the city at night with others. This was a great way to experience the city and hit some highlights of the city, like the changing of the guards and Anafiotika. Be ready to walk and then enjoy a well earned dinner, which was delicious!!

5.00Our guides Katerina and Emily were lovely. We had a private tour by chance, and felt very comfortable immediately. We saw the changing of the guards, walked through charming neighborhoods and the ancient and Roman agoras. Katerina and Emily were very friendly and knowledgeable about history and archeology. We enjoyed a lovely dinner with them and by the time the tour ended it felt like we had spent the evening with friends. The tour helped us feel oriented to the main neighborhoods and settled. A great way to spend our first night. Highly recommend!

5.00“Athens at Night” with Katarina was an amazing walking tour! She provided a great introduction to the beauty and history of the city in an intimate atmosphere where all questions were encouraged. We saw so many highlights, including the Changing of the Guard, the historic Plaka, the peaceful streets of Anafiotika, as well as Monastiraki Square. As we walked, we took in the breathtaking views at night of the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Lycabettus Hill. Katarina’s passionate love of history was infectious! The evening ended with a delicious Greek meal at an excellent local restaurant — included in the cost of the tour! The whole experience is highly recommended!

5.00My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful walking tour that began at the Parliament, where we learned about the history and symbolism of the Evzones’ traditional uniform during the Changing of the Guard. We strolled through Plaka, spent a quiet moment inside the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, and walked along Tripodon Street, the oldest street in Europe. My favorite was the charming neighborhood of Anafiotika, where we experienced everyday Greek life and enjoyed the panoramic views of Athens. We also loved seeing the Ancient Agora of Athens and Roman Agora beautifully lit at night. Grateful for Katarina and Emily’s stories, warm company, and their recommendations for traditional Greek cuisine in Thissio. A lovely evening of history, culture, and connection. ✨
Excellent Guide & Tour

5.00Katarzyna was really sweet and polite. She made sure to make conversation with everyone. Had in depth knowledge of Athens & answered all our questions. Gave us great tips on where to shop & eat. The fact that she is an archeologist made it all the more fun and informative. Would 100% recommend her. Special mention to her sister Isabella who joined us & made sure we were comfortable - such a lovely lady.
Fantastic Romantic Evening!
