Paul, Jul 2024

Natasa was very knowledgeable, her laughter infectious and her interest in our family genuine and sincere. The restaurants and commentary across Athens were very enjoyable. Some of the restaurants in particular we would never have come across and were chic and those the local Athenians go to. There was never an awkward moment and it was very much chatting to a knowledgeable friend.

Hernan, Jun 2024

Natasha was a great local guide. She catered to our interests and flexed if we wanted to see (or eat!) something specific. She was very personable and friendly. She also gave us great advice to avoid a heat stroke on the hottest day of June. We definitely recommend this tour!

Peggy, May 2024

Our flight was delayed coming into Athens by over three hours but our guide Natasha was so understanding and patient and adjusted our tour time accordingly. She met us right on schedule at our hotel and we set off on a wondrous journey on foot. We went inside the Panaghia Kapnikarea Church, a gem right in the middle of a bustling center. Next was a walk through Monastiraki to Tetraconch Church to the Roman Agora. Then a little delicious break for a treat at a hilltop restaurant with a great view. We walked through Jacqueline de Romilly Square to Ano Petralona and had a veritable feast at a charming restaurant there. Natasha kept us entertained with lively conversation and the time just flew by! What a great tour to kick off our trip to Greece with Natasha, our lovely guide.

I am Eva and I am a proud Athenian. Athens is surrounded by many historic ancient sights, such as Acropolis, The Roman and Athenian markets, and of course plenty of museums, for which I have plenty of knowledge, as history is one of my main interests. Further, I love the city's exuberance. It is large, with many neighborhoods and districts, each one of them with its style, like the famous Plaka and Monastiraki at the center of the city, or even places by the beach for swimming, or high on the mountains for nice hiking routes. In regards to food, I have explored several beautiful places with exceptional food, from street food to the finest dining restaurant in Athens. At last, as Athens is one of the cities that never sleeps, there are plenty of choices for having a nice glass of wine, or any drink is preferable. As I have spent a big part of my life in the city, I can say that I have very good knowledge of every aspect of Athens.

I’m 28, an archaeologist and Cultural Heritage Manager, and I’ve lived in Athens all my life. I still get excited exploring its secrets—from ancient ruins to underground music venues. I know neighborhoods like Plaka, Monastiraki, Thiseio, and Eksarxeia like the back of my hand, and I love rollerblading through the city or hunting down the next great tap beer room.

Hi, I’m Beatrice

My name is Beatrice and I am a Greek native citizen who has lived in many countries including Australia, Belgium, the US, the UK, Egypt and Greece of course.

Discover more about me

My family is all based in Greece therefore I have had a solid base here since I was born. Throughout my studies I would return to visit family and friends at least twice a year. I only moved back permanently due to the pandemic in 2020 and have been settled since in Athens. I usually frequent bars in Exarheia, Botanikos, Metaksourgeio and Kolonaki. I go to gallery openings every week and go to gigs often too! I know many museums such as the Benaki museum, the national gallery, galleries such as Breeder for more contemporary interests. Moreover in terms of strolling around the city I would take my guests as a start for a walk near the Acropolis to visit the ancient sites, check out the market as well and then to have a coffee at Briki, which is small and tucked away close to Psyri.
