Spent a very interesting couple of hours walking round Ermoupoli with our guide Dimitri. We visited various attractions around the town that we would never have seen on our own. Dimitri was informative and very passionate about the island. I loved seeing the ornate Greek Orthodox churches and the Theatre. The highlight was an original El Greco icon hanging in a small but beautiful church.

      It was completely great! Demetri was great. He answered every question and told us about things we didn’t think to ask about.

      Lots of fun and learned a lot of history. While many of the locations are accessible on our own, we were able to learn a lot more about the cultural significance of each stop from Dimitri.

      Informative and interesting tour

      Helen_N, Oct 2024
      I had a personal tour with Tonia, and she was very informative and interesting to listen to. It was good to see her passion about Syros’ industrial past. She also contacted me via WhatsApp to remind me of the tour start time, and provided helpful information afterwards.

      Our guide was wonderful, he met us early in a clearly marked marked place. He had amazing history knowledge and pointed out some great features that I wouldn't have noticed had he not. The walking was well timed. I would definitely suggest this tour!

      The History of the island . The island is not sun and beaches but much more . And going into a court with a mdre trial on was unusual

      Nice walking tour around...

      Afreen_M, Sep 2024
      Nice walking tour around the city :) had the chance to learn about the history of Syros, and the spots visited were quite cool.

      Worth doing

      Teresa_M, Jul 2024
      Good way to learn about Syros, past and present - such as the history of this El Greco painting. Dimitrios himself has an interesting history. Ermoupoulis is a handsome, bustling town. Would love to return.

      A most interesting summary of Ermoupolis

      Angela_T, Jul 2024
      A most informative and interesting tour of some of the most notable buildings of Syros. Our guide, Dimitri, was very knowledgeable and pleasant with ready answers to any questions we had. We were lucky that it was just two of us in the group on the day so it was almost a private tour. Gained a lot of information not only about the buildings and architecture but also about the history and aspects of Syrian life.

      A nice little tour

      Sean_S, Jun 2024
      I was drawn to this tour because there are no other Ermoupolis tour options that I could find and because it was cheaper than walking tours of some other cities (only €20/person). Dimitris was very friendly and passionate about his city. He also was very flexible with the timing since the our ferry's schedule wouldn't allow us to make the regular tour time. He was waiting with two large water bottles (which was great since it was scorching that day) and we were the only couple on the tour. In hindsight, I would have preferred to spend the 2 hours in Paralia Asteria considering the weather and that it was the only day I had on the island. However, I do feel that I got my money's worth from the tour.

      Exploring Ermoupoli

      Therese_C, Jun 2024
      Great way to see the area and hear the history of the island. Dimitris lives in the area and has a passion for his culture that he wants to share

      Informative way to get your bearings in Ermoupoli

      Kiran_H, Jun 2024
      Dimitris let us ask lots of questions! And he was happy to share personal recommendations about Syros.

      We were the only people...

      John_B, May 2024
      We were the only people on the tour, so we had the private tour experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared his knowledge, opinions and personal experiences with us, and we enjoyed it all.

      Soddisfatto parzialmente

      eros_g, Dec 2024
      Giro basilare a piedi un po' ridotto, forse perché eravamo solo in 2, qualche monumento e qualche chiesa.

      Response from Host, Mar 2025

      Il tour di 2 ore comprende gli edifici più importanti della città. Qualunque cosa tu abbia visto. Non puoi vedere più niente in 2 ore! Se avessi seguito il tour e non il cellulare, avresti capito. The 2-hour tour includes the most important buildings of the city. Whatever you saw. You can't see anything more in 2 hours! If you were following the tour and not your cell phone, you would have understood.
