Athens evening

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!

5.00A brilliant evening. Katerrina was knowledgeable and friendly - someone you enjoy spending time with. The tour was insightful and brings you to parts of the city you would never know existed. And the food was great (even for fussy vegetarians!). Totally recommended.
