      Proposal session
      We had an incredible experience with Panos from Athens Photo Tour during our proposal photoshoot in Athens. Panos was not only professional but also made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. He knew all the best locations, capturing the beauty of the city and the emotion of the moment perfectly. His attention to detail and ability to put us at ease resulted in stunning photos that we will cherish forever. If you’re looking for a photographer in Athens, especially for something as special as a proposal, we highly recommend them. They truly made our day unforgettable!

      Best One Day Photo tour ever
      I took a full day photo tour with Panos. It ended being one of the best photographic experiences I have ever had. The day was complicated by unexpectedly high humidity (80%s). Panos moved at my pace, taking breaks when I needed them and making sure I had plenty of water. I never felt rushed or belittled for not coping so well with the climate. Panos crafts his photography advice to your abilities. I'm no amateur, but I usually photograph wildlife. He helped adjust to landscape/street photography, including advising me to aswitch metering modes, something I never even considered. It wasn't all photography on the walk either. We talked about Greece's past and present and about life in general. It really felt like hanging out with an uncle. At the end of the session he made sure I got on the right metro train. If you want great photos from Athens, I can't think of a better investment of time and money than a walk from Athens Photo tour.

      Best photo session ever. Dimitris was amazing.
      My husband and I decided to have photos made while in Athens for vacation. We are so pleased with the photos. Dimitris was amazing and made the experience a lot of fun. We highly recommend doing this as we got to see places that we would have never found on our own and the photos will be a lifelong memory of this adventure.

      The most amazing experience!
      Panos and his sister were professional and so much fun! They instructed us on how to pose which created the most stunning pictures I have ever seen. They were an absolute pleasure to work with!

      The views were amazing and Amelia, the phot assistant, was so helpful. I didn’t feel uncomfortable in any way and the pics that I did see came out amazing! I would definitely recommend this activity in Athens to create memories!

      Simply amazing
      Absolutely excellent! As high as our expectations were, they were exceeded. Theofolis and his assistant (sorry, I forgot her name) were great. Both were so kind and engaging. We haven’t received the final photos yet, but based on the preliminary sneak peaks (and the pics I grabbed on my iPhone) they will be breathtaking. They know how to make a goddess look like…well, a Goddess! One of the best experiences I’ve ever booked

      When in Greece…. Flying dress photo shoot
      Went on a trip of a lifetime and decided to do the flying dress photo shoot in Athens overlooking the acropolis. My photographer was Phanos and assistant Amalia. Both were punctual, professional and helpful. The only negative is I wasn’t brought the color dress of my choice by mistake. I was still positive and the color still turned out beautiful. At the end even though it rained Phanos still continued through to get the best shots and location. I def recommend the company and the experience. When in Greece …….

      Athens surprise proposal
      Dimitris was a joy to work with in planning the surprise proposal of a lifetime. He was very professional and knew how to draw out my vision for my proposal. We are so glad we chose him to be the one to capture that special moment. Highly recommend.

      Definitely glad we did this!
      We got our pictures done through Athens Photo Tour; they’re based all over, but we booked through a Viator excursion on the island of Santorini. Photographer was Panos, and he met us on time. Very cordial guy, very professional; and had been doing this a long time. We wanted the iconic Santorini background, with blue dome pictures, so we started at 0800am sharp. He knew some good spots, and gave us very specific directions to put us in our most flattering angles and lighting. He also helped us navigate crowded photo areas, and worked w locals to make sure to get our pictures before others did, especially those that did not have reservations as we did. His other colleague did the editing, and was able to remove some of the signage so that our pictures looked flawless. We love the final product! We were celebrating 10 years married, and so glad we did this company to capture this milestone in our marriage.

      A picture perfect experience
      We recently had the pleasure of booking a photoshoot in Santorini with Athens Photo Tour, and it was an absolute dream come true. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and truly unforgettable. Thanks to Dimitis, Panos and the team for the job well done!

      Santorini photo experience
      This was a great experience, Nicolas was extremely polite and knowledgeable of the sites. We were able to take private pictures in areas otherwise unavailable. We could not have accomplished this without his help.

    This photo tour was one of the highlights of my trip! I spent an afternoon walking around with Panos and he not only taught me more about his beautiful city, but I also learned more about photography and got even more familiar with things about my camera that I hadn’t yet unlocked. He was a wealth of information and because of him, I got some of favorite shots in Greece. He was even kind enough to take some of me as we toured, since I was traveling on this part of the trip alone. So, now I have photos of me in Athens too! He was absolutely heaven sent in every way. Thank you so much for a legendary trip, Panos! Because of you, it’s one I will never forget!

    A super sunrise spent with Dimitris in Athens, learning the principles and practical methodology of HDR photography for landscape. Dimitris took great trouble to explain the optimal camera set up and the perfect image composition. A fantastic and highly recommendable experience.

    I have spent a whole day with Panos, touring Athens, I enjoyed his knowledge of local history and his suggestions for the best places to eat in town a lot, and I came home with a lot of good pictures, great day as far as I am concerned. Kudos to Dimitris for sorting out the agenda for me. Recommended crew...

    I got in touch with Dimi to help capture my proposal in Athens. Throughout the whole process, from contact to end photos, Dimi was fantastic. He provided a selection of shooting locations and sneakily stayed in the background as we arrived and then capturing the moment when it happened.

    He was extremely responsive throughout the process and brought us to great spots to take photos. For those who are shy, he even directed our poses!

    I cannot recommend Dimi enough, whether it is to capture any special occasion or any other photography tour!

    We spent 2 hours meandering the streets of Athens with Dimitris teaching our 12 year old how to get the best out of her Canon SLR: how to frame images, think about the light, the position of people & buildings. He also taught her so much about her camera and found some really great niche parts of Athens we wouldn’t have found otherwise! Would heartily recommend 😀

    Hello Phil, it was a great evening for me as well, walking Athens with your family and talking photography with your daughter.

    I don't usually write reviews but the time we spent with Athens Photo Tour deserves the recognition. My wife and I hired Athens Photo tour to shoot our family of 5 during our trip to Athens. We couldn't have been more impressed with not only the quality of the photos but the connection Dimitris made with our family, which translated through the final product. When we saw our pictures, we were so amazed at the way he captured such special moments with our family. Dimitris put us at ease from the beginning, and made an attempt to get to know all 3 of our kids in a unique and special way, which I believe helped create a comfortable environment for our kids to be photographed in. Our 3 year old daughter is a little shy around strangers, especially men, but 10 mins after meeting with Dimitri, he had her laughing and dancing to a point where he was able to capture her completely at ease. The locations he selected were perfect, embodying the spirit of Athens without using cookie cutter locations we've seen in all the other shots. Dimitris also gave us quick but meaningful historical insights about each location and their significance to Athens. We highly recommend Athens Photo Tour if you're looking for someone to shoot your vacation to Athens.

    Athens at night is amazing and my photography tour with Dimitris from Athens Photo Tour surpassed my expectations! Dimitris picked me up at my hotel and hand picked the best spots for night time photography in Athens. His tours are for up to 4 people, but on the night I selected, I was the only person. I mentioned a spot I wanted to see and he altered his itinerary to take me there. I would have never seen the sites he took me to if I had been on my own. If you have an interest in photographing the sites from a locals perspective, I highly recommend Athens Photo Tours!
