    Awesome
    This was such a good nice. Terrific guide and delicious food (we have literally gone back and eaten again at three of the stops). The Christmas lights during the walk made it magical.

    Absolutely fantastic!!
    This tour was one of the best things we booked while in Athens. An amazing guide who was great company. Delicious food (we have gone back to three of the places to eat again) and the Christmas ambiance and lights while walking at night made it magical.

    Delicious and Worth It!
    The tour was amazing! Our guide brought us to several awesome spots to sample delicious Greek cuisine. She was super friendly and told us all about the city. We tried traditional Greek meat and cheeses, Greek donuts, sesame bread, pastries, and gyros. We also got to sample Greek olive oils and honey. We had such a great time, definitely worth it!

    Would do this tour again!
    This was an amazing start to getting to know Athens. It was our first time in Greece we didn't know much about the traditional food when we got here so it was a great overview. Plus we got to see different parts of Athens we normally wouldn't have seen on our own. Would definitely recommend this tour!

    Great value! Amazing insight
    Thankyou Agatha for making my hubbys birthday really special. This was a great tour! Not only the street art but also the meaning behind the works and the history of each area was so in-depth! I feel we got great value and discovered areas we would not have found on our own.

    Great food tour to try loads!
    My teenager daughter and I had a wonderful time on the Eat Like an Athenian Food Tour! We sampled several dishes and drinks with wonderful explanations by Agathi. I would recommend doing this trip early in your stay so you can get wonderful recommendations to try during your trip. We did the evening tour and it was great to see the cafe culture up close with a local guide.

    Excellent way to visit Athens
    This tour was fantastic, as we were able to explore not only very talented art but also the urban core of Athens itself. You become familiar with the various neighborhoods and on foot get to see many of the sites off the beaten path. It's a wonderful complement to the ancient tours and we are happy we did both.

    We definitely ate like Athenians
    Agatha was an excellent guide who matched our needs for a tour perfectly. Every place she guided us to was delicious and she was very informative about the areas we walked through, sharing history and modern insights. We very much enjoyed our tour and would recommend to anyone travelling to Athens to start their trip with this, as it gives a great understanding of the key areas you want to visit in Athens city centre.

    Excellent Tour of Athens Anti-capitalist Neighbourhood.
    Our tour of Exarcheia with Eureka Athens was a highlight during our trip to Athens. Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable, professional, interesting, and full of local and historical knowledge. She gave us important insights into the current milieu of Exarcheia, Athens. We enjoyed learning about social justice issues and witnessing the murals, and experiencing a neighbourhood that was off the beaten path, outside of touristed areas. Amazing experience! We highly recommend this tour and company.

    Amazing Private Nemea Wine Tour with Lunch and a visit to Nafplion
    Spyros picked us up at our hotel promptly, and the moment we started driving we knew how much we would enjoy being with him for the day. He was so very knowledgeable about everything, kind, and energetic as we headed to the Nemea wine region. We stopped along the way to enjoy beautiful ruins and the majestic scenery of this region. It reminded me of our tours in Tuscany and in someways it was even more beautiful. At the wineries, we enjoyed full tours, tastings and more opportunities for photos of the beautiful scenery. The wineries were gorgeous! And the wine was delicious! The best that we tasted in Greece. Our second winery was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy not only a tour but a lunch made by the owner and staff at the winery. Food just kept coming and it was all so delicious! From the wineries, we drove to Nafplion. Wow! This beautiful seaside town was quite a surprise! We enjoyed it as much as the island that we visited. The shopping was higher quality as well as the opportunities for restaurants and history. We wish we would have had two days instead of a few hours. We enjoyed every minute of it. Spyros stayed with us and enriched our experience every moment of the way. We enjoyed him so much we hope that someday he comes to California so that we can return the favor. He is a wonderful man. We don’t think We could ever express how much time and effort went into this tour by Eureka tours. It was a long day for Spyros but his energy level and his kindness never ceased. The people at Eureka are truly the best.

    An intro to Athenian food
    Our tour guide Agathi brought us to lovely family-run establishments, which were frequented by locals. We got an appreciation for the typical Athenian breakfast, tried Greek coffee made the traditional way in a bed of hot sand. Despite not having any breakfast before the tour, we could barely finish all the food samples. Seeing the variety of fresh fish in the food market worked up our appetite for seafood and Agathi gave us the perfect recommendation for a seafood dinner near our hotel. We also checked out a wine bar that she recommended where we continued our exploration of Greek wines.

    Amazing experience
    We had a great tour with Agatha. She took us to greek designer shops and modified the tour based on our mobility limitations. There is quite a bit of walking, so be aware of this. I bought a great blouse and some earring during our tour. We even stopped for coffee during the tour. Amazing experience. We would never have found the shapes without a guide

    A 'people's' art history of Athens (2009-2023)
    We (a family of three) were absolutely delighted and thrilled to have had a very engaging and thoughtful art tour of Athens by one of your guides. A young woman full of energy and capable of holding our attention through conversation and wonderful vignettes about ordinary life in Athens through street art. Hence, instead of simply a 'monumental' tour of big structures and the classical world of Greece, we got a sense of the deeper lives of ordinary people and their counter culture through street art with heroes like Lukanikos. We left Greece thinking that democracy is alive and not frozen in museums and archaeological sites. Thank you again to the young tour guide who seemed gifted with her ability to tell us stories about the streets and their wild explosions in paint. As an ideas, it would be wonderful if you could arrange for alternative histories and thinking by getting tourists or travellers to interact with historians, artists and philosophers. Why not a structured meeting over dinner or lunch so that visitors can learn beyond the strictly tourist itinerary.

The "Other Side" of Athens is a must see for travelers interested in the localized and recent history of Greece and its capital. Our guide (Agatha) gave us incites we could have not learned on other tours and provided us with a relaxing and enlightening morning. We highly recommend the tour - especially for those travelers who have had their fill of ancient ruins and 2500+ year-old history factoids. What's happening now in Athens? How are people living and building lives today? Agatha also gave us some great eating tips as we ended the tour. Thanks so much!

This tour was truly wonderful. If you want to know about modern Greek history, street art and the anarchist movement the guide is very knowledgeable and brings these things to life completely. The choice of places we visited were unusual and fascinating and the way this was structured really brought history to life and a neighbourhood, too. This is such a different and worthwhile tour and highly recommend it if you have some time in Athens to explore real life and another side of things away from ancient ruins.

It was a very meaningful tour. The best day tour I ever had. Agatha helped to peek into the modern Greek society and history. Exarcheia became my favorite town in Greece, or probably in Europe.
