Being a private tour, we could ask as many questions as we wanted and take breaks when we needed, no feeling of being shuffled along with a big group. The pace was just right and the whole morning flew by.
Thanks again!

Our guide was super easy to talk to, funny, and he really knew the city inside out. The day went smooth, we just enjoyed the vibe abd learned a lot. I'd hapoily do it again or tell my friends to go for it if they're in Athens.

Just as we wanted our this tour was focusing on mythology and philosophy as we requested. This level of interaction simply cannot be matched in a large group tour. Transportation was also comfortable, it allowed us to move effortlessly between major sites like Acropolis, Temple of Olympian Zeus etc. All the things were amazing and we appreciate their hard work.

The guide managed the pace perfectly, pointed out things we would have missed, and most importantly, made history fun for everyone. It was perfect blend of serious culture and family trip.

After spending countless trips relaxing on the beautiful Islands of Southeast Asia, I felt boredom. I craved something profound, something ancient, something that pushed me out of my comfort zone. That's why I planned a tour to Athens. Odysseas is a storyteller, a local expert he understood what I was looking for. And because of him I didn't feel like a typical tourist; I felt like a temporary athenian...I love every single moment that I've been walking on streets of Athens. The trip was exactly the cultural reset I desperately needed.
Does not disappoint

Demetrius was very knowledgeable about the history of Athens. To stand among the ruins of places I had only heard about was surreal. The Greek food was fabulous also.
Felt like a movie moment tbh

I thought it was gonna be super serious history vibes... But it was actually cool?? Honestly, I learned a lot without even feeling like I was in "school mode." Plus I got cutest pics for my IG.

We wandered through the Acropolis at our own leisure, paused for coffee in a tucked away courtyard, and strolled past neighborhoods I'd never have found on my own. The pace was gentle, the conversation easy, and I actually felt like I was learning from a friend rather than being "toured"

My friends and I traveled from Vietnam to Athens. The journey was smooth and comfortable. Athens is a beautiful city with amazing history and nice people. We visited famous places like the Acropolis and enjoyed local food. The trip was fun and full of new experiences. The travel team was helpful and made everything easy.
