5.00John was absolutely wonderful. He knew so much about the city and was so personable and easy to talk to. We even saw him in another place after our tour, and he stopped what he was doing to give us some tips about the area. Would 100% recommend this tour!

5.00We had such a wonderful and caring guide. Her name is Voula. We are both in our 79’s and she made sure we got to see all the places on our list at the pace that was good for us. I highly recommend this tour especially if you are able to have such a wonderful guide as Voula.
Great and fun tour

5.002 of us for a private gf the beaten track tour. In a word: Ecellent. Loannis/Yannis was a first class guide and a very pleasant personality to be with. A native Athenian and really tailored the tour to our wants and our pace. The conversation about life in Athens added to our understanding and recommendations for bars/eateries were excellent. Cannot recommend Laonnis more highly.!
