Experience City Tours in Athens with Withlocals

"Dionysis had us enthralled with his deep knowledge. Despite being a hot day, it was a great day."

"My husband, 8 year old son and I enjoyed a great morning in Athens with Makram. He tailored his stories to our son, who is very interested in Greek mythology, and did a good job of pacing our tour to keep our son interested and engaged. He showed us great “hidden gems” we never would have known about and enjoyed learning about the city’s history with him! Highly recommend if you’re in Athens and want to know more about its history, food and culture!"

"We used Evanthia for a three-hour walking tour of Athens. She was wonderful! Very personable, easy to talk to, and extremely knowledgeable. Her background is in archaeology so that really helped, too. I would highly recommend!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Ioannis!!! He took us on an extraordinary tour discovering some true hidden treasures of Athens. We learned so much about Greek history and culture. He tailored the tour to our specific interests and made the experience more like visiting with an old friend. I highly recommend taking this tour with Ioannis!! We can’t wait to come back and visit again. "

"We absolutely ADORED Voula. She started the day as our tour guide but ended the day as our friend!!! We loved spending the day with her and wish we could have her on all our tours. She is very knowledgable and had so much wonderful information, tips and recommendations to share with us. Book with Voula, she is just the best!! "

"Great kick start tour to visiting Athens for the first time, came away with a good sense of the city, some of the history and even a nice restaurant our first night. Thank you!"

"Our family of five (ages 20-57) toured with Ioannis through the streets of Athens. Ioannis took us away from the busiest and most touristy streets and showed us more of the local life of Athens. There were still lots of people in August, but we weren't cramped or pushing through the crowds. Ioannis tailored the tour based on our preferences. We love history and food, and he showed us both. We saw some very interesting historic spots (outside the slopes and Acropolis), like the Agora, the ancient \"mall\", temples, and others. He spoke about the city's process of uncovering new archeological sites, something he, as a lawyer, knew a lot about. We asked him about good local honey; check. Greek olive oil; check. Seafood restaurants, best gyros/souvlaki, local wines, local clothes shops; check, check, check, check. He showed us a fun artist-funded, below-ground hangout, where we later (off tour) sampled some local wines and tried our first mastiha. The souvlaki we ate after the tour at the restaurant he recommended was the best we had in Athens. Ioannis was very knowledgable and came with such a unique perspective as a widely-traveled and broadly-educated local. He was entertaining and informative, and all five of us had a wonderful day walking the streets of Athens. We highly recommend a tour with Ioannis!"

"Costas was a really lovely tour guide. He has lots of knowledge to share about Greek mythology and Athens. My children (11,12) enjoyed his vast mythological knowledge, as they themselves are addicted to National Geographic’s Greeking out podcast. Would recommend him to families for sure! "

"Alexandros is a great tour guide, made it interesting tying the Acropolis sites with Greek mythology. The kids were engaged. It was not his fault but it was a very hot day so walking up was challenging. Definitely would recommend him for the tour. He is very knowledgeable and fun. Thank you Alexandros!"

"We are so lucky to have had Dionysis as guide. He was flexible and met us at a location more convenient for us which had a great view of Acropolis. He was full of great information and brought us at the end of the tour to a great spot for the best souvlaki in town. In addition, we needed a guide for the following day for one of the museums, and he turned us on to a great friend of his and Registered National Archaeological museum guide. With locals was perfect way to find Dionysis"
