Athens Neighborhood Walking Tour - I am an older (70) woman travelling solo. The company & my tour guide, Carlos, kept in touch wirh details as the tour grew closer. Met at the assigned meeting place & time. It was a solo tour so Carlos was able to go at a pace I could keep up with. It was an orientation tour that included many sights & neighborhoods. He explained the areas fully & was able to answer my questions. The neighborhoods & areas were all so different. 1 block could make a difference between the hustle & bustle of people, vehicles, motorbikes, & scooters & the quiet calm of narrow walkways beneath the Acropolis. Carlos took pictures for me, helped me get an Uber & waited with ne until the Uber came. Delightful tour that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This is a must tour.... - This is a must tour. Specially if you’re first time in Athens. I am glad I got this at my first day of staying in Athens because you get familiar with city center, restaurants, shopping places etc. Carlos was such a nice and patient tour leader. He was very flexible with the schedule and such a great attitude. I highly recommend it.

The discovery of Athens with the marvelous Starvos - Starvos was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of the neighborhoods we visited kept us engaged the entire time. His attention to details, kindness, and professional was superb. I thoroughly enjoyed our walk through Plaka taking in all the sights. I will have to say that Starvos was one of the most genuine and honest tour guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you for pairing him with us and giving us an amazing experience.

A Perfect Intro to Athens!! - This was a wonderful walking tour! You'll love Stavros. He is so easy going, you feel as though he is a friend telling you about his hometown. A knowledgeable friend! He gives you so much interesting background but you never feel as though he is lecturing. Ask him for recommendations on places to go and cafes with good food!
