Michelle_K, Jun 2026

Not very dynamic and the guide had never done a tour in English. Some of the facts were off and the guide did not seem like he was enjoying the tour.

Great!

Joseph_G, May 2026

Great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer questions, even offbeat or historical ones. Highly recommend!

Never showed up and never communicated. Why allow bookings if unavailable? Was able to get refunded for this tour but no compensation for wasted time and taxi fare

Tour of Athens

Roger_E, Apr 2026

We had a very personal tour with Giacomo and his extensive knowledge of the historical landmarks and culture of Greece was fantastic. He is very approachable and answered many questions we had on our tour with him. I recommend his tour very highly as we came away with a much greater understanding of the history of Greece. Thank you so very much Giacomo! Or should I say efharisto poli!...

Great tour through main Athens points

Jozica_V, Dec 2025

Great activity to start with when you arrive in Athens. It gives you the opportunity to go through main parts of Athens with all main sights and you get the first orientation through Athens. Our guide Rena was very nice, very knowledgable, she told us interesting mythological stories, true ancient facts, then about the first kings of Greece and who created the Royal Gardens. And a lot of fun facts how about modern Greece. We liked the tour very much and recommend it!

Wrong topic

Barbara_G, Oct 2026

A mythology tour in German was booked, but it was changed at short notice to a city tour in English that didn't have much to do with the booked topic. Unfortunately, the result was disappointing, even though the guide tried hard.
