Reviews of Our Athens Experiences

We loved our tour with Alan. We learnt a lot about Hong Kong and Alan guided us to many interesting places. Alan was interested in what we wanted to see and accommodated the tour to our preferences. We take away many happy memories from our tour with Alan and look forward to returning to Hong Kong one day.

Our tour with Georges was enlightening. He showed us places we could not have seen on our own. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He adjusted his schedule to meet ours as well as adjusting the tour to places we wanted to see and hear about.

George was so attentive from the very beginning and messaged with us about our interests to be sure our tour would be exactly what we wanted. He took a lot of care to ensure we had a great experience and gave us so much history and context as we toured the city. Highly recommend! We had such a great day!

George is a wonderful guy who took me on a GREAT tour of Anafiotika, Plaka, Psyrri and Kypseli! He is VERY knowledgeable and my impression is that he really loves what he's doing, He doesn't just rattle facts off but really shares Athens with people like me. We laughed a lot, shared ideas and views on architecture, history and social politics. Before the tour I thought "how will I manage to walk around with a total stranger for a couple of hours?" But I immediately got the feeling that we weren't total strangers, but connected through our interests. I really recommend George as a guide and hope to take part in one of his walks again!
