Our Athens walking tour with Bianca was absolutely phenomenal! Her historical knowledge, warm personality, and incredible storytelling made the experience truly unforgettable. She took us to hidden gems we never would have found on our own, bringing the city to life in the most magical way. Bianca made the tour incredibly comfortable and engaging for my daughters, taking us to a stunning coffee shop with an Acropolis view, the best Greek yogurt shop, and charming local mini restaurants. She truly knows Athens inside out and made sure we experienced the city like real locals If you’re visiting Athens, booking this tour with Bianca is a must — you won’t regret it!
The private walking tour of Athens was perfect for us. This was our first visit to Athens and we had only one morning to see as much as possible. Bianca was our guide and she was fabulous! She tailored the tour to our needs and our speed. She was a wealth of information, providing history and fun facts. We really lucked out having Bianca as our guide. It was easy to find the meeting point using Google Maps.
Bianca was beyond wonderful! She is knowledge and personable and able to adjust the tour to clients’ needs. We learned so much, saw sites in Athens accessible only on foot, and walked,walked,walked, so be prepared! We highly recommend Bianca and this tour.
Bianca was beyond description as a tour guide; fun, funny, engaging, eager to share her country with us and a wonderful storyteller. We've done many city tours, but this beat them all, and by a huge margin. Licensed tour guides in Greece are required to have advanced degrees and/or complete extensive training, and it shows. We had already walked around some on our own, but seeing it with Bianca was a totally different experience. She gave us SO MANY details that we'd have missed-why the Parliament guards wear what they do, march the way they do; the significance of the many details inside an Orthodox church; how and why the various neighborhoods developed and differ from each other. We experienced everything I'd hoped to see and more, except climbing the Acropolis (which isn't on this tour, but 360 views of it are!). Can you do Athens on your own? Sure. Will you miss anything? ABSOLUTELY! Do this tour-you won't regret it.
Bianca was an amazing guide. She was very warm, friendly, knowledgeable and informative. She showed us various sights and gave us an insight into Athens, the history and culture. She messaged me very soon after I booked the tour and confirmed the meeting place etc. We were a party of 2 couples and we all came away saying how lovely Bianca is and that it was the best tour we have done. I highly recommend this tour.
I had the best time exploring Athens with my guide, John! He showed me the hidden streets in the quaint neighborhoods around the city center. He brought the ancient city to life with his knowledge and enthusiasm!!
Bianca was a wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide. She was amazing with my 14 year old daughter who is very into history and mythology. It was more like walking around with a friend than a tour guide. Would recommend to anyone wanting to tour Athens!
5 definitely. Bianca was fantastic! So knowledgeable about everything! We loved her. We learned so much from her today!
Not only was John and native he was knowledgeable, , informative, helpful, very professional and courteous and funny. The four hour tour not only gave us a good overview of Greek history, but also a layout of the city. Would recommend.
John was a fantastic tour guide! So many fun and historical stories! We enjoyed every bit of the walk! The stop at the rooftop bar was really fun!
