We were surprised to find out it was just us on the tour, so we had a very tailored tour around the streets of Athens. Greg was a brilliant guide, very easy going and knowledgable, keeping us away from all the big tour groups and showing us areas that locals enjoy. Highly recommend this tour as a way to get your bearings in Athens!

Thanks Christina! Great experience, glad we did this as gave us a snapshot view of Athens and helped us decide what we wanted to pay for and do for the rest of the trip. Also showed us areas we would never have known were there too. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our tour guide was Christina, she spoke excellent English, shared lots about the history and sights of Athens which was very enjoyable and appreciated. Afterwards she shared fantastic recommendations for food and drinks around the city, all 10/10. Would definitely recommend this tour upon your arrival to Athens as it is a great introduction and request Christina for any English speakers.
