My tour with Michael was... - My tour with Michael was exactly what I hoped to experience. A pulse on the city of Athens & the life of the people today, past to present, history and current events.
Our 4 hour walking tour went by very quickly with informative, knowledgeable & pleasant conversations with Michael on many topics, while exploring the hidden neighborhoods of Athens.

A must-do if you are visiting Athens and have time to spare! - Natasha was a great local guide. She catered to our interests and flexed if we wanted to see (or eat!) something specific.
She was very personable and friendly.
She also gave us great advice to avoid a heat stroke on the hottest day of June.
We definitely recommend this tour!

Locals view of Athens - My excellent host George gave me an exceptional in depth tour of Athens. I wanted to be shown Athens as a local(non food,drink places) and George did not disappoint. I got shown Plaka,Anafiotika,Filopappou and more and could highly recommend this tour.

George never could find us - After many up front conversations with George where we would meet at our ship he could t find us we waited 35 minutes beyond our waiting time
He didn’t answer multiple calls although he kept saying fifteen minutes
At the last call he said another fifteen
That would mean we waited an hour
What a bad bit of planning thus guide did
Left us scrambling for alternative
