We booked our travel through AAA and visited Athens back in early November. Our travel agent suggested that one of the great ways to experience Athens is through the eyes of a professional photographer. This is how we met Spiros Kotsiopoylos, our guide for the day. Spiros was very warm and welcoming. He took us, not only to the famous sites, but also through some interesting local streets that we otherwise would have overlooked. He even took us to the highest point of Athens to take some awesome night shots. What was apparent was his love for the city, and it’s history. This made us appreciate our visit even more. So for those visiting this beautiful place, I highly recommend a tour with Athens Insiders, and ask specifically for Spiros. Thank you, Spiros!
The game was unbelievable. It was one of the best team events I have ever participated. Excellent organized with amazing tasks to perform. Even the locals had the chance to learn things about their city that they didn’t even know their existence.
All the participants had a great time. With the help of Athens insider team, we now have a memorable experience.
Thank you!
We enjoyed our walk with George very much. He‘s a friendly open minded guy who knows a lot about the city, the history and today‘s greek society.
It was very inspiring to discover the city, looking at Athens from different angels: the historic one, the modern one and from all the intersections inbetween.
Apart from all of his profund knowledge, George is very gentle and considers each and every individual need of his guests. He‘s really passionate about the different sites of Athens and shows a great ability to tell intersting stories you wouldn‘t find elsewhere.
We couldn‘t think of a better way to discovering Athens.Thank you very much, George. And a big thanks to Marilizia for perfect organization of our last minute tour.
Our group had a great time accompanying Chef George throughout the Plaka and market areas. We visited a lot of places that we would likely have missed and got a real sense of the best Athens has to offer. George adjusted his tour based on our interests and our ability to keep eating. This was no small sample excursion, there were many things to taste and share. We got a fantastic education on olive oil, bread, and buying fish and meat at a market. So this was a fun experience that also paid off with some real life lessons. Chef George was energetic and fully engaged in providing a truly unique experience for his guests. I highly recommend this tour.
Ask for Iliana! She is passionate about her country and educating you on all of YOUR areas of interest .
In just 4 hours, we learned not only about Ancient Greece, but about more recent history . We discussed education, politics , economy, and lighter topics as well! Our time was filled with lively conversation, walking through areas we might never have found on our own, and had we somehow stumbled upon the areas, would not have known the significance of it without her input. The pace was quick yet somehow relaxing, as she included a stop for Greek coffee and later, a lunch-on-the-go snack. She also offered helpful information on Greek customs, places to shop and enjoy dinner once our tour ended. With only one day to spend in Athens , we are certainly happy to have spent it with Iliana!
