Bryan_D, May 2026

Our tour guide was excellent, well-informed, very interactive, and entertaining. This was probably our best tour of four while in the city. Plus, he gave us a dinner recommendation which was also delicious.

Fantastic tour with Stefano!

Rashmi_M, Jun 2024

Stefano and Regina were wonderful guides. I was the only person so it ended up being a private tour. Stefano is so knowledgeable, passionate and loves to share the history of this wonderful city. Loved this tour!

HELENA_K, Apr 2024

Stefano was knowledgeable,, smart, witty. He showed us the historical places and gave us a lot of historical facts. The monuments that we visited the other agencies has never mentioned. His enthusiasm combined with the deep knowledge of greek history created wonderful ambiance for the tour. His love and passion to greek culture evoked in us the deep desire to stay at this country. Thank you Stephano

Hidden Treasures

Natascia_G, Jun 2023

Stefano and his lovely partner were fantastic. We went to many hidden historical sights that most visitors and locals would pass by without appreciating the deep treasures that lie within. I was the only one on this tour which made it all the more special.

Atene... Non è solo Acropoli.

Pierfranco_B, Jan 2025

Il tour è stato molto bello alla scoperta di una Atene sconosciuta. La nostra guida Stefano ci ha accompagnato in questa esperienza con grande passione e competenza. Consigliatissimo!
