Great walking tour! Helena was fantastic! We walked all over and learned a lot history along the way

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the walking tour and that Helena made the experience memorable. Exploring Plaka at sunset while sharing its rich history is something we truly love, and it’s wonderful to know it made an impact. We hope to welcome you back on another tour!

A Wonderful Evening

Gai_K, Oct 2023

We certainly got more than we expected. She took us to some other places along the way and told us all about them. That was lovely. Also, she recommended a restaurant for dinner in Plaka that turned out to be delicious. She was knowledgeable and personable.

Knowledgable and friendly guide who took time to answer questions and take photos for us. A little pricy but overall a good experience.
