Jessica took us ( a party of 7 English visitors ) on our first tour around the acropolis , the acropolis museum and a guided wander around the the streets . Jessica was so well informed and engaged us with fascinating facts , descriptions and stories . Her pace was perfect and she was delightful company.
Our second tour with Jessica was to Dephi . Taken in a very comfortable coach to this amazing site , we were all very impressed by its history as explained and described by Jessica. There were very few visitors which made the visit very special compared with the hundreds at the acropolis !
Little Owl also organised transport for us on a couple of evenings which was very efficient and pleasant .
Highly recommended for any visitor to Athens .

Jessica was our guide for a lovely tour through the Acropolis with our two kids (8 and 10). She was kind, patient, and had a calm, laid back energy. She had a literal bag of goodies and props she used to keep the kids engaged, and even snapped a polaroid of our family as a cherished souvenir. She set a great pace on a hot day, and knew just how to navigate the crowds.
Our oldest is very interested in Greek mythology, and he would have enjoyed a little more depth of information. Our youngest is not, and we appreciated how Jessica managed to keep her interest.

We had a tour of the Acropolis in English from Jessica who was AMAZING. So kind, patient and did a great job of engaging our kids in the story of the Greek Gods, even the teenagers!!!! This would have been a hot and terrible disaster without Jessica taking time along the way to stop and pause and give the kids puzzle pieces for each new God we learned about. Even though it was HOT out, the kids barely complained and really enjoyed it. They watched and are reading everything they can about the Greek Gods now. Wonderful tour and highly recommend this!

We had an amazing time touring various sites around Athens with Jessica from Little Owl Tours! She was very knowledgeable about Greek and Roman history and was a fantastic storyteller. Our family truly enjoyed our time together over several days. Kostas was great helping us organize our itinerary, and our driver Nikos was great as well. Highly recommend them, do not hesitate!

We did the children’s tour to the Acropolis in German organized by Little Owl Tours. The tour was a great experience. The kids loved it. My two 6-year old sons are very interested in history and the age-adapted explanations of the tour guide were very well received by them. I can highly recommend this tour.

Best way to visit the Acropolis in Athens! Jessica is very friendly and knowledgeable. She has great stories to tell and patiently answers every question. She definitely brings everything to life and makes your visit to Athens ever more enjoyable! She speaks Greek, English, German and Dutch fluently. We've never had a better tour guide. Thank you for this experience!

I’ve booked Jessica for a private tour for 3 persons. She is an official ‘guide of the state, so allowed to so guided tours on official toeristic spots. Besides that she showed us a lot, she let it all live! The facts and stories she knows as archeologist, gave an realistic view on how life was long ago. We had a great experience thanks to Jessica!

Jessica is a professional and at the same time fun and enthusiastic guide. She was able to build on the knowledge I already had of Athens and the Acropolis with new information, pictures and fun facts, truly bringing the site to life for me. Her stories are entertaining and engaging, and her dynamic style of sharing knowledge made our time together go by in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Little owl tours is owned by this super nice, young couple. I’ve had email contact with them before and they always got back with a very quick reply.
The tour-guide was lovely, I’ve learned all the ins and outs from acropolis, but also a lot of interesting and funny details about the city itself. The tourguide was clear and very enthusiastic they made my Athens experience complete!

Jessica, the guide at Little Owl Tours, was simply amazing. She had lots of expertise and her background as an archaeologist gave the tour an extra dimension. The combined tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum is perfect for first-time visitors to Athens, as well as for people that are already familiar with the city and its archaeological sites, but want to learn more / are looking for a more deep-going experience. Highly recommended!!
