We did a private evening walking tour with dinner. Ilias was so much fun from the moment we met him at the fountain which was a short walk from our hotel. We took in some sights including changing of the guard. Then had a fantastic meal at a local family owned tavern. We got some other restaurant suggestions as well. The 3 hours flew by. Our group was myself, husband, and our 13 year old son. Highly recommend!!
Good tour of the area friendly and knowledgeable guide flexible on touring Plaka at night was great.
What a wonderful way to see highlights of Athens with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Maria was the best!! Dinner at the end was so delicious and topped off a great first day in Athens.
This is an amazing tour of the city as you get see places of city besides the big tourist areas as you get to see the true Athens and taste the true greek food.
I'm giving this tour a poor rating because they canceled my tour and expected me to go on an earlier tour with very little notification , which I could not make. Also, they used Whatsapp to contact me to cancel that was not in my profile. Therefore, I showed up for the tour and waited and waited and no one showed up.And finally , someone texted me through viator that the tour was canceled. This was an awful experience. Because you canceled my tour.I have requested a full refund which would be due to me.
Thank you Filippo for a great tour, amazing meal and even better company! Would totally recommend this adventure. Sharon
Our guide, Maria, was superb. She is very knowledgeable about Athens and the history of Greece. Her details added a lot to the experience. The meal was plentiful and delicious. We dined tapas style and Maria ordered a wide variety of dishes for us to share. It is a good amount of walking but worth it!
We lived the tour. Great walking and coverage of rhe city with a fabulous meal at the end. Maria was a fantastic guide. You will learn alot
