Absolutely brilliant - Our tour with Dimitris was absolutely brilliant, from the contact before the tour, instructions on where to meet, his knowledge on the history of Athens and his friendly manner. Would totally recommend booking this tour during your trip to Athens. Thank you Dimitris, it was lovely meeting you x

Great tour - This hidden gems walking tour in Athens was a great way to spend a morning. We were a small group, which made it feel really relaxed and easy to enjoy. Dimitris was a great host, friendly and easy to talk to. He showed us some great sites we would not have found on our own and shared lots of tips and recommendations for the rest of our stay. I would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Athens!

Great Evening Walk 🤩 - We took a night-time walking tour this evening and it was the perfect way to begin our trip. Dimitris was engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. He encouraged questions throughout and shared so much fascinating information — not just about the history and architecture, but also about local life, the city layout, and practical tips for making the most of the rest of our stay. Exploring Athens at night gave everything a magical atmosphere, and the tour really helped us orientate ourselves for the days ahead. It felt like we gained both historical insight and local perspective in just a couple of hours. A fantastic introduction to the city — we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. Thank you Dimitris!

Great experience - This was so worthwhile. We had already been in Athens for a few days and explored plenty but Demitris is very knowledgeable and personable, he showed us some wonderful places and left us with some incredible recommendations for the rest of our trip. I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour.

Walk, learn and laugh! - Dimitris was engaging, knowledgeable and the kind of person who makes you want to know more about their city. Been on many a walking tour around Europe and further afield and he was by far one of the best we have had. Could not recommend more highly. :)

Perfect start to our visit to Athens - This was a great walking tour. We weee out of season so there was only 5 of us in the group. The guide Dimitris was knowledgable and full of information. Keep him talking and ask him questions he has lots of advice. Although 2hours you are staying mostly in two areas where there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars as well as shopping and great views. This tour really set us up for our few days in Athens. He also left us a with a map of his recommendations for bars, cafes etc. I totally recommend this trip
