The origins of Athens can be traced back to a magical time when gods came down to the earth from their royal palace on mount Olympus in order to get married to mortals and competed among them over who would give the city the best gift and win the dominion.
Mysteries and intricate questions are delved into: how many Pythias were there ? why did athletes compete naked ? was Socrates really bullied by his wife ?
The thread of the history of Athens is unwound and touches the controversial character of the modern Greeks ,who take pride on breaking the smoking ban
That and many more ,can satisfy the curiosity of the most demanding visitors.
I am more than happy to share my knowledge of the Greek history and culture with our international friends!
Kind reminder to guests :tours are conducted with a minimum number of three people and above
I visited Athens in February 2026 and had the pleasure of joining a tour with Elena, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we met, she made us feel welcome. Her warmth, kindness, and enthusiasm really stood out. She has such a friendly, approachable way about her that it felt more like exploring the city with a passionate local. Her knowledge of Athens is incredible. She explained the history in a way that was easy to follow and engaging, connecting different time periods and influences so naturally. On a personal note, I was truly impressed by her spirit. Her motivation, energy, and love for what she does are inspiring. She was amazing... graceful, dedicated, and genuinely beautiful both in presence and character. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Athens who wants a tour that feels meaningful, personal, and memorable.
A fabulous knowledgable guide
What a disgrace. Cancelling at 8 am by text. Had a wonderful day out independently anyway. Don't book with her. She is not reliable. Qué vergüenza. Canceló a las 8 de la mañana por mensaje. De todas formas, pasé un día maravilloso por mi cuenta. No reserven con ella. No es una persona seria que cumpla con las reservas.
El tour es bastante completo para una primera toma de contacto con la zona, no se hace pesado Elena ha sido encantadora , servicial , respetuosa, se nota que le gusta su trabajo y muy bien documentada Ama esta ciudad
Elena was such a joy to meet today! Very informative tour, very personal and kind guide. Not only did I enjoy what she taught me about Athens, but also getting to know her as a friend. Even though we rescheduled due to weather earlier this week, she was always responsive and made time for me, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend her tour for a memorable stay in Athens!
