Superb Hike!

5.00George is an amazing guide! First, all of the basics were perfectly delivered: punctuality, communication, and value. Second, George tailored the hike to my pace, pointing out the best spots for photos and highlighting the history along the way. We enjoyed pleasant and diverse conversation as we went. George hosts a wonderful way to see Athens, all while burning several hundred calories! I highly recommend!!
Unforgettable experience. Would definitely be going again, and couldn't recommend more.

5.00This was one of my best (and most unique) experiences in Athens. George was a great tour guide, taking us on two of the most gorgeous hilltop views of the city. These places weren't touristy, so we got a very clear view of the sea, and all of the landmarks within Athens. He provided an extremely clear explanation of the context and history behind each landmark, with a hint of humour that made the trip all that much better. His knowledge of the city was unmatched, and he provided fantastic recommendations for food, clubs, and other places to visit. I have done many walking tours in Europe (and Athens), and I have to say this one was the most unique. The climbs were relatively easy as well, no physical or athletic background required. If I were to come back to Athens, I would do this trek again. Truly an unforgettable experience that will set the tone for the rest of your trip. Couldn't recommend more.
George is Outstanding. Not Enough stars to rate him!

5.00George is an outstanding guide. Super knowledgeable and extremely personable. We really enjoyed his historical knowledge and his patience and making it fun for our 7 year old to conquer the hills of Athens! We can’t recommend George and the Hills of Athens tour enough.
Wonderful way to experience Athens

5.00I was traveling solo to Athens and I was also looking for something outside but away from busy areas. This outing was perfect! Definitely a workout but completely manageable if you at least walk regularly. George was an incredible guide! Full of history and personal anecdotes. The views are spectacular! My only mistake was not booking a sunset time. George takes you to some beautiful out of the way parts of Athens.
Great tour to know the Athens city.

5.00We booked a trip with George for the Mount Lycabettus hike. It was a pleasant trip and also included information about spots we were passing through. George is very knowledgeable about culture, history and architecture of Athens and very patiently answered tons of questions from us. It was like hiking with a friend, who ofcourse knows a lot about Athens and Greece. The summit was beautiful with a 360° view of Athens. We also went to viewpoint at Philopappos Hill with a golden view of Acropolis and luckily saw an amazing sunset from the hill. If you are in Athens, I would definitely recommend the tour, to soak in Athens city.

5.00I can’t recommend this tour enough. This was my second time visiting Athens and I wish I had discovered George the previous time. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly, kept myself and others engaged the whole time, I am retiring later in the year and will definitely be seeing George again. 5 Stars! If you’re visiting Athens you absolutely must book a tour with George.
Would highly recommend this tour for a great way to add to your trip to Athens!!

5.00Highly recommend for families traveling with kids! This trip was so well planned, hitting Athens’ iconic spots without any rushed chaos. Our guide George was awesome— super responsible, knowledgeable, and always looking out for the kids. For the kids, it was a fun, hands-on experience that let them soak up real Athenian vibes!
