Below the Acropolis is part of Athens you don’t want to miss! Our guide, George, was not only knowledgeable, but passionate about his history! It was infectious how excited he was, and he took us to some out of the way spots we would never have known about otherwise! Definitely recommend!
Good pace to see a lot of things. Our guide (George) was very good. We saw many things different from the prior day tour where we did the acropolis and Parthenon.
We had a fantastic walking tour with our very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly guide George Kokkos. He made Ancient Greece come alive for us! 10/10!
Excellent tour of the hidden gems of Athens. Dimitri’s history knowledge and is a wealth of information. He will not only tell you about the Ancient history of the ruins you visit, but provides a good contemporary history of Greece’s national financial woes, but also the impact to the Greek people and the resulting “brain drain”, the mass change in ownership of property and land in the downtown area, and the impending demographic shift that could hurt the country even more. Finally, he genuinely shares his recommendations for any questions you may have about restaurants, bars, desserts, etc. Suggest people book this tour soon after arriving in Greece to provide them with the information to make the most of your visit.
It was a wonderful tour covering many different areas. Really enjoyed George's stories, wealth of knowledge and engaging personality. Highly recommend!
It was a small group and George was our guide. Hugely knowledgeable as an archaeologist and born to teach- great enthusiasm and covered so much history and mythology.
Dimitris is very good. Very professional. Even shared his favorite spots to check while we are in Athens. Highly recommended walking tour for first timers before dojng Acropolis tour!
Totally recommend this walking tour. Excellent guide.
Demetris our tour guild was great. He was very friendly and made this an enjoyable tour. He is very knowledgeable, and took us to some great spots. We were just a small group which was nice, as I find with large groups you can get left behind. I am glad I went on this tour the day after I arrived, as I then had a better understanding of where places were after the tour. Highly recommend.
Our tour with Dimitris was absolutely brilliant, from the contact before the tour, instructions on where to meet, his knowledge on the history of Athens and his friendly manner. Would totally recommend booking this tour during your trip to Athens. Thank you Dimitris, it was lovely meeting you x
