George showed us streets that we would probably missed if we toured on our own. Our time was limited in Athens and for George to share the city’s history etc. helped us enjoyed Athens

This was a really great way to see Athens from a local person’s perspective. Michael was an excellent guide who showed us neighborhoods, hidden alleys, incredible views and rare finds that we would have never known about. This tour gives you a chance to see Athens outside of the known landmarks. Highly recommend this tour with Michael.
