It was an excellent tour. We got to experience the highlights of the city with Katerina who was passionate about her native city. She explained the history of the city and brought it to life for us. It was an amazing start to our city break. We loved the taverna. The food was delicious and plentiful and the service was impeccable. It was so good we went back. A very big thank you to Katerina for such an excellent tour

Catherine (accompanied by Eva) was fantastic. The “dynamic duo” were knowledgeable, interesting and all round considerate tour guides on this very enjoyable evening walk through Athens. The tour meandered through districts of Athens discussing a blend of archeological sites, general information and Greek history. The tour ended at a wonderful restaurant where the food matched the tour - absolutely wonderful. Definitely recommend this as a tour to take if you are in Athens.

My spouse and I had a wonderful time with Amy. She was very knowledgeable about not only the historical sites but she also answered any other questions we had about the city.

This 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!

Our 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.

Had 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

Our 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.
