Excellent guide - Excellent tour, providing a valuable orientation to Athens. Our guide George highlighted historical and archeological sites that we would not have seen on our own. Also, he is pleasant and polite, with a good sense of humor, answering all questions clearly. This was one of the highlights of our holiday.

Must-Do! - George gave us a great introduction to Athens! We are so glad we did this tour the day we arrived- it helped us stay awake and prevented a bit of jet lag. George was so thoughtful and the pre-communication with Dimitris was excellent!

Definitely a must! - Our time with George was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece and Turkey! Would absolutely recommend, it gave us so much more insight and understanding about the historical context of what we were seeing around the city and gave us SO much more confidence to navigate Athens on our own afterwards. Not to mention we ate at every restaurant that was recommended and thoroughly enjoyed them all!

Wonderful Athens Experience! - This experience was a great mix of history, culture, and local hidden spots. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared many interesting stories and useful tips. We visited both famous places and quiet corners I would never have found on my own. The small group made it easy to enjoy and connect. I truly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see the real Athens!

Wonderful experience in the heart of Athens - Had a lovely tour with Dimitri, exploring the top sights in Athens at night with a small group. He gave us a great introduction to the city and recommendations for things to do in the following days, including restaurants and sights in other locations that we were going to next. He was very friendly and personable and we would definitely recommend this tour.

Not a reliable guide - Perhaps if we had actually been able to take this tour I could have given it a higher rating. I would just say, if you are looking for a dependable tour, perhaps this isn’t the tour you are looking for. A couple days before our scheduled tour Dimitris reached out via WhatApp (not via Viator) to see if I could change to the noon tour from our scheduled 5 pm tour or one the next day. I told him our flight didn’t arrive until 11 am and we were already booked for the next day, so that wouldn’t be possible. I asked if he needed to cancel. He asked if I could do the 7 pm tour instead. I told him we already had evening plans and again asked if he needed to cancel. He said no, we could stick with the 5 pm tour. Then on the day of the tour I received an email from Viator 4 hours before it was supposed to start, notifying me the tour had been canceled due to weather. There absolutely was no bad weather in sight. I would have absolutely been fine if Dimitris had just canceled when he first reached out to me. I would have had time to find something else for that afternoon. But with just a few hours notice it was too late. So again, I can’t speak to how good the tour is since we never went on it. But if you want to book a reliable tour — this one may not be for you.
