Aaron_G, Jan 2026

Vasilis is the ideal photographer in Athens. From the moment we first got in touch until the photos were delivered, he was professional and kind. He took us to beautiful spots and immediately understood our style. The photos turned out stunning, and the delivery was excellent. We highly recommend him—and wish we could take him with us on every trip around the world!

Our photographer Regina took her time with us. Along the way she got to know us and also gave us a tour with history of the area surrounding the Acropolis. It was 100% worth every penny. We walked away with family photos that will last a lifetime.

You will have an awesome time with him!! He shows you places of Athen you won't see or come across, if you just visit the City for few days. You will get very interesting facts about the History and background of the places you will visit. And Vasilis will give great advices for the rest of your trip in Athen. My fiance and I are so so happy with the work and result of our photoshoot. The best way to describe this experience is that we will Always cherrish it and it will be a big, happy memory for me and my future wife. Thank you a lot Vasilis.

Want Cousin It photos and tour guide vice photographer than this is your guy

Christian_H, Aug 2023

Horrible photos. Great tour guide if you are looking for that. Prior to photos had stated what we wanted. He kept going down alleys and wanting to take other photos. All we wanted were simple photos of us by Acropolis. ZERO photos are able to be used. He sent us photos of hair blowing in all our faces and looking like Cousin It from Addams Family. Viator was also unhelpful. Don't recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

-I will leave aside the marketing rules of how I must reply professionally to this and I will give you a straight answer!- Will you stop with that lie already? You never stated you want ONLY photos with an Acropolis background! We agreed that we will shorten our time, as YOU asked, stopping for poses at much lesser spots than usual to end up at the hill with Acropolis for your wanted photos. And you were fine with that at the beginning and the thousand times I (always) asked on the way! I am very sorry for your bad experience but that is what happens when someone books something without reading the description. It is obvious and recorded from our messaging history when you asked me about how to purchase tickets for Acropolis! You booked a 2 hours walk and pose photo tour among the old picturesque part of town, as stated in the analytical description of the tour and you understood that you will be photographed inside the Acropolis site! Can't help you with that! I really can not understand what were you thinking or expecting! The -only one- photo with hair blowing is the one that I told you clearly that I will add to your gallery for fun since I got it! Considering your stiff character and lack of mood for participating, I did fantastic! I challenge anyone reading this to show the photos! You received 52 photos where 23 are with an Acropolis background... I will finalise my answer to you, because I already spent too much of my time on you, by telling you that you are the first ever and the only one complaining, among 144 happy 5 stars reviews on this platform and hundreds of other happy reviews on numerous other platforms I deliver my services. Definitely, I am not wrong here... I wish you well, though and better choices of activities for your family in the future. Or better none at all! (I am so angry with you! Very unfair and outrageous) SAMPLE-PROOF PHOTOS OF HOW CONFUSED THIS GUEST IS: https://vasilisgermanis.pixieset.com/mycollection-1/

Book it!

Candi, Mar 2023

My husband and I booked this photoshoot for our honeymoon while in Athens and Vasilis delivered well beyond our expectations. Not only did he go out of his way to make us feel comfortable, the passion he has for his art shines through each photograph! He reached out to us ahead of time, asking questions to better understand what we were looking for from our shoot and even made a custom “Just Eloped” sign for us! Very cool guy. We still can’t believe how amazing each of our photos came out! I highly recommend booking this. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks again, Vasilis, for making our trip so special. We hope to visit again sometime soon.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you! It was so much fun meeting you and photographing you! Thank you for trusting my photography for this! I wish you all the best in your new life! Vasilis Germanis @personalphotographerinathens PhotoWalksinAthens.com

Memories Perfectly Captured for Life

Omar_M, Nov 2021

Our photographer, Vasilis, was awesome! He is a true artist. He was very hospitable, and not only did he take excellent photos, he gave us a private tour of some off the beaten path parts of the beautiful and historic Athens. I highly recommend this booking.

Incredible experience

Johnny_W, Nov 2021

What an incredible experience! Vasilis and his partner helped make a wonderful vacation to Athens even better. He is a true professional who clearly cares about his craft and loves his country. From the moment we met, he made us feel at ease and guided us through Athens taking photos in places we would never have known about. We highly recommend this session. You won’t be disappointed!
