About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ManekiNek00 contributionsGreat tour by Constantina!Fantastic tour by our guide Constantina! She took us (a group of 3 couples, 6 people total) to several stops to try unique Greek foods/wine. First stop was HooCut Pita (featured by Gordon Ramsey) - we tried both a pork and chicken pita which was very tasty with soft fluffy pita bread (pork was my favorite). Next stop was an olive oil tasting (with demonstration on how to examine the flavor of the olive oil), then a Greek mastiha liqueur tasting - this was a very informative presentation and interesting to try! Then we went for a wine tasting of 4 different Greek wines (various regions/grape varietals explained very well). Next was a family style dinner at "Ella Urban Greek Cuisine" with various Greek specialties to try - several salad/vegetable dishes, several meat dishes (my favorite was the slow cooked lamb). The tour ended with Gelato - try the pistachio! This tour was fun, informative, and we enjoyed meeting the other 2 couples on the tour... Constantina was very sweet, and kept a good pace with fun/lively discussion. Highly recommend!Written September 10, 2024
- saradenad20170 contributionsWarly recommendWe had a wonderful guide who took us around and was very engaging with both us and our son. And we got to see an exceptional sunset.Written September 9, 2024
- Jennifer D0 contributionsWonderful way to see the Plaka!Constantina was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and did a great job engaging the group. Food was wonderful- so full and happy at the end. We got to see and taste a bit of everything- classic Greek dishes, regional wines and spirits, olive oils and pistachio butter (yum!). You won’t be sorry if you do this tour- highly recommend!!Written September 5, 2024
- Inspire7340610 contributionsExcellent Day at the Acropolis and PlakaGreeking.Me once again exceeded our expectations. Your planning with me for our day at the Acropolis and Plaka and the execution of our day’s activities were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Tiama. She was extremely informed of the sites we visited, very resourceful in navigating and circumventing some of the long lines we encountered, and very thoughtful of providing us with many breaks in shady places considering the record-breaking heat we were dealing with. Plus she was just a joy to be with! Julia and I thank her and Greeking.Me for providing us with an insightful and memorable day. Efharisto!! We highly recommend Greeking.Me for anyone planning a trip to Greece.Written September 5, 2024
- Grizskier0 contributionsNothing better than a private tour with GeorginaWe did the Private Mythology tour with Georgina. She was a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable about the history and myths. We were 4 adults plus a 5 year old and 6 month old. Georgina engaged with all of us and had the utmost of patience. I would hope to tour with her again in the future.Written September 3, 2024

- joyouslouis10 contributionsFantastic Acropolis & Acropolis Museum Tour with IliasWe had THE BEST Acropolis & Acropolis Museum tour with Ilias. We did the Mythology tour and Ilias was excellent and really engaged both of our kids (12 and 14). We did two hours at the Museum and two hours at the Acropolis - I wish we had more time! We bought the Digipass for the enhanced reality part, but because Ilias was so great and engaging we basically forgot about it and didn't even end up pulling out the ipads to use the Digipass - he was THAT GOOD. Request Ilias for your tour, especially if you have kids! Our boys really enjoyed it, as did we. We felt like we could have spent several more hours at the museum, all thanks to Ilias. THANK YOU ILIAS!Written August 21, 2024

- Ugcm88-000 contributionsGreat Food and drinks and fellowship!This was a small tour but a few didn’t show up, so there were only 3 of us. We got a chance to know each other and enjoy some great food and drinks. This time of year, the tomatoes are SO red and fresh and the greek salad we tried was amazing! I highly recommend this tour if you want a small group experience.Written August 12, 2024
- Athas450 contributionsBest way to experience AthensWe had the best experience ever! Our host for the night- Manos, gave us a delightful foodie evening! We stopped first at an air conditioned restaurant ( thank you) and tasted several local plates and met the rest of our great small group. Manos was full of conversation and knowledgeable about the local cuisine. Next stop a wine tasting with some sightseeing along the way. Again- what a wonderful experience to taste all of the indigenous wines with some accompanying wine and cheese. Then olive oil tasting- a whole new experience. Some local famous gyros and ice cream to top it all off. An unforgettable night and thank you again to our host Manos and greeking.me for everything!Written August 3, 2024

- bigg3650 contributionsBest Athens food tourHello from Toronto Canada We had the best time on our tour with Ismini on July 24th 2024. It was a semi private food tour that turned into a private tour. Ismini was so sweet and friendly. She knew exactly how to make us feel confortable from the first moment we met her. It was relaxed and so well organized. We felt very special and well taken care of by Ismini and every stop we made. Nick at Vintage and Dimitri at the oil tasting...great guys! Thank you so much IsminiWritten July 30, 2024

We had an incredible private mythology guided tour of the Acropolis and its museum in Athens with guide Anna. She showed an immense amount of knowledge and passion for the history and mythology of Ancient Athens. You brought the Acropolis to life with your captivating stories and in-depth knowledge of its history, architecture, and culture. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she kept my 9-year-old son engaged throughout the entire tour. Anna's ability to explain complex historical details in an interesting and accessible way made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Thank you, Anna, for an unforgettable tour!

What an experience. Our guide Konstantina is a working Archeologist. Unbelievably informed, intelligent and patient. What an experience. The sites were breathtaking and she knew all the history and mythology. Thanks to her I can speak with minor authority about the Acropolis, the waves of culture and the foundation myths of Athens and Greece.

Our guide Ava was awesome! She met us at our hotel and too us to all of the large sites on the Acropolis, as well as the Museum and the Temple of Zeus. She was extremely knowledgeable, spoke great English and was as sweet as she could be. It was awesome, especially in the heat not to have to wait in any of the lines and to be able to see everything on our own timetable and at our own pace. We learned a lot and had a great time!

Our guide (Joanna) was amazing! She was so interesting, enthusiastic, and gracious. She knew more about Greek mythology and archeology than we could ever ask about and patiently answered all our questions. What a great day! (Note: the walk up to the Acropolis is very taxing in the heat.)

Eva was a super guide who gave us a comprehensive overview of the Acropolis and museum from a variety of angles— historical, political, art and architectural, etc— and made the experience so interesting. She paced herself to accommodate us and was vastly knowledgeable and passionate about this subject. I highly recommend this tour and Eva as a guide.

We loved our Private Mythology Tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Anthi was our tour guide and she was fantastic! We went early in the day when it was cooler and less crowded. She was so knowledgeable about the history and mythology of the area which really brought the amazing sites and artifacts that we were seeing to life. My 10-year old daughter who loves Greek mythology really enjoyed using the ipad which reconstructed what the structures used to look like and allowed her to virtually go inside the buildings. It was so cool! We left with a richer understanding of Ancient Greece and highly recommend this tour.

We could not be happier that we chose Greeking.me for our Private Tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. They were so easy to work with, and could be counted on to respond quickly to any questions or concerns we had regarding our tour.
Our tour guide Ilias was outstanding!! He made the tour so interesting with his abundance of knowledge, as well as relaxing, by the way he so perfectly paced the tour. And always kept us out of the sun, and away from the noise of the crowds, whenever he could. He even gave us a restaurant recommendation for lunch (Ella), which was also outstanding!
We HIGHLY recommend Greeking.me for your next tour in Greece!

We requested Eva as our tour guide for our Acropolis/Museum Tour based on reviews and her credentials. She did not disappoint!
It was like meeting family for the first time in Athens. Eva picked us up on foot at our AirBnB and greeted us very warmly with big hugs!! I’m a hugger too:)
From there we were off! En route we passed several historical monuments and churches which Eva gave us a brief historical overview of each. She also answered questions we had about what we saw on the way to the Acropolis. It was like the tour before the tour!
The hike to the Acropolis was a little challenging for me at times. Eva sensed this and took breaks whenever I felt winded. Thank you Eva for being so attentive.
At arrival, we took another rest stop at the Odeon of Herod Atticus and sat on an huge rock under a tree. There Eva gave us a comprehensive Greek historical overview of Ancient Athens including key events and figures relating to politics, culture, art, science, philosophy and religion. It was here we learned why Athens is named the birthplace of democracy!
When we left the Odeon to reach the Parthenon, the overview Eva provided all came together with the mythology stories about each temple. Her stories were engaging and humorous. The iPad's 3-D exterior/interior views of the temples reconstructed on the Hill was a great addition to help us see how everything looked when it was initially built! Interestingly, the temples were not all white marble as seen today, but some had color in their frescoes and metropes.
Also Eva knew all the best spots and angles for the perfect pictures at each temple and other locations on the hill. She took the BEST photos of us! We even all took a selfie together at the Acropolis Museum.
I was so happy to start the tour at 8am, as we left around 10 am the crowds were dense. And we were off to the museum!
It was really good to have a tour guide at the museum to point out the highlights and history. Eva did an excellent job of relating what we saw at the Acropolis of Athens to the Museum and then some!
She even made an excellent restaurant recommendation near the Museum for lunch that we loved!
Thank you Eva for customizing our tour to our themes of interest and giving us the perfect tour!
Thanks to the Greeking.me team for the excellent customer service. I worked primarily with Katerina R. and Zoi. They both responded in a timely manner and were very resourceful.
Will definitely recommend Greeking.me to friends and family visiting Greece.
