Best tour we've ever had-perfect first Athens experience
Kim H,May 5, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Bianca was beyond description as a tour guide; fun, funny, engaging, eager to share her country with us and a wonderful storyteller. We've done many city tours, but this beat them all, and by a huge margin. Licensed tour guides in Greece are required to have advanced degrees and/or complete extensive training, and it shows. We had already walked around some on our own, but seeing it with Bianca was a totally different experience. She gave us SO MANY details that we'd have missed-why the Parliament guards wear what they do, march the way they do; the significance of the many details inside an Orthodox church; how and why the various neighborhoods developed and differ from each other. We experienced everything I'd hoped to see and more, except climbing the Acropolis (which isn't on this tour, but 360 views of it are!). Can you do Athens on your own? Sure. Will you miss anything? ABSOLUTELY! Do this tour-you won't regret it.
Highly recommend

5.00Bianca was an amazing guide. She was very warm, friendly, knowledgeable and informative. She showed us various sights and gave us an insight into Athens, the history and culture. She messaged me very soon after I booked the tour and confirmed the meeting place etc. We were a party of 2 couples and we all came away saying how lovely Bianca is and that it was the best tour we have done. I highly recommend this tour.
Fun day exploring Athens!!!

5.00Bianca was a wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide. She was amazing with my 14 year old daughter who is very into history and mythology. It was more like walking around with a friend than a tour guide. Would recommend to anyone wanting to tour Athens!
Excellent tour with Bianca.

5.00Not only was John and native he was knowledgeable, , informative, helpful, very professional and courteous and funny. The four hour tour not only gave us a good overview of Greek history, but also a layout of the city. Would recommend.

5.00Our trip to Greece was amazing! We are so happy we worked with Be a Greek! Can’t express how smooth everything went! We were there for 15 days. Everyday we received a message reminding us the time our driver would arrive & plan for the day. Every ride was on time & friendly. Our guides were top notch & very informative! We were so relaxed because everything was taken care of! I highly recommend Be a Greek! We loved working with them & LOVED our whole trip!!
The tour was well worth...

5.00The tour was well worth it. Giannis (John) was a knowledgeable and personable guide - his historical knowledge was excellent and insightful - we had a wonderful conversational throughout the tour. It is a lot of walking but so many sites were covered. We enjoyed our time!
