Explore your Athens Neighbourhood with a Local

The Plaka walk that we did was beautiful! So much history all around. I could have spent twice the time there and not seen everything there is to see.

It was amazing!

Such a great walk! We covered so much ground in only two hours.

very nice and easy walk through a fantastic area of Athens.

We were able to see busy main streets and pass by touristic monuments, but also had the chance to mingle amongst the locals and climb through little passages to a wonderful view across the city.

Wir waren begeistert von dem Spaziergang über die Plaka und anafiotika! Alles hat bestens geklappt, vom verabreden bis zum Abschied. Sybille ist die perfekte Stadtführung.

Our tour was a great first introduction to Athens and helped us orient ourselves on our first day in the city. This a great program with locals volunteering their time—would highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens!

Great walk! We got lots of interesting inside views in different neighborhoods. Great overview of the city.

The This is Athens organization and it’s volunteers are doing a wonderful job in showing their love for the city and give visitors a chance to meet locals outside the tourist industry. The Kypseli area was not known to us, but we found it very interesting to learn about it’s history and the recent changes in the area.

This authentic walk with local must not be missed when in Athens.

We were so impressed with Danai B. She took us to the local areas of Athens that we wouldn’t have probably seen without her. She was very personable and very knowledgeable about the different areas and their history. We went to the Plaka area and to Anafiotika area. We loved them both. She took us to the various food markets and showed us various shopping options. We ended at a cafe that had lots of Greek food. She ordered many small plates of the best of Greece and we all shared them. It was wonderful. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a local guide. Susan

Sibylle was a perfect guide. The tour exceeded our expectations by far. After she knew our interests she changed the route to meet them. We would love to see her again some day.

We went through Anafiotika which was amazing, followed by coffee and a chat. We visited Monastiraki Square, Athens market, took photos at Alice in Kookland & watched the change of the guards at Syntagma Square before returning to Plaka. Although I had been in Athens a few days I had missed some of these areas and really appreciated the guided tour with a local. I got to see street art and Anastasio explained some greek mythology and gave me an insight into greek alphabet. Would highly recommend this walk!

We did this our first evening, to get a sense of our surroundings on our first visit. We are so glad that we fought through the fatigue and jet lag.

I really enjoyed my walk with Danai. She shared alot of information about the places that we were at, it was informative and enjoyable. It really helps to give me a different perspective of Athens! I enjoy the places that she has recommended to me and my friend too.

Dear Team,
thank you very much for your message. We had two tours with the local guide Dania, once in Vouliagmeni and once in Athens on the central market. It was very nice and we really liked it. Dania showed us many interesting places and things and explained connections. We were allowed to try everything on the market and got to know great cafes. We can only recommend this type of exploration and are happy that we were able to participate. We enjoyed it very much!

Very nice and relaxed tour I enjoyed so much and I felt in the atmosphere of the city in a second! Lots of historic information and curios facts to know! Perfect!
