George was very informative and interesting. He greatly customized the tour to our interests. We got to see many new areas of Athens that we hadn't yet seen. He was extremely nice to answer the thousands of questions we had. George was very knowledgeable about many different aspects of Athens and the life here. And he even followed up to send us a couple pictures of a very old building that we were interested in seeing. We enjoyed this tour very much and would highly recommend to everyone. Time very well spent !

The tour was a great experience, and was very informative. George, my guide, tailored the experience to my interest in architecture very well. We both had a good time visiting several of Athens many neighborhoods and museums. All together, this was a wonderful way to experience the city, as George’s expertise was far more beneficial than any internet ‘top 10’ list would be.
