5.00Our day in Athens with Aris was absolutely unforgettable. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly friendly. We explored the Acropolis at our own speed, and Aris shared fascinating stories about Greek history along the way. His recommendations for local spots made our experience even richer. Highly recommended!
Outstanding Service and Knowledge.

5.00This was an excellent way to see the Acropolis & other highlights in Athens. Our guide, Peggy, was extremely knowledgeable (about the history of Athens & of architecture, & restoration of the sights, etc. - everything you could hope to have for a place like Athens!). We had a wonderful day, and the restaurant recommended for lunch was delicious! To top it all off, the pictures Peggy took of us were incredible - sounds like a silly thing, but seriously some are frame worthy and it’s because she paid attention to perspective, etc. Book this tour & ask for Peggy!! :)
Great way to spend day in Athens!
