We had a great private tour with Babis who is so knowledgeable about his home town of Athens. We started in the markets then walked through old Athens and Plaka finishing at the Acropolis museum. All the time Babis talked about the history of Athens, showed us old ruins, explained their timeline and pointed out the different architecture throughout the city. We even had a coffee stop at a rooftop restaurant with an incredible view over old Athens towards the Acropolis. I can definitely recommend this tour as part of your Athens experience

We had a fantastic tour last Tuesday 15th September with Babis.
We thoroughly enjoyed learning/experiencing some of the old history, religious buildings, architecture, neighbourhoods and ruins of the city and experiencing the sights and smells of the many markets on offer. All brought to life by Babis, who’s knowledge was remarkable and really went the extra mile to show us more for his beautiful city.
It was also a great tour to do on our first day, to find our bearings and gain a geography of all the landmarks. A welcome coffee break was included halfway through on a rooftop cafe overlooking Monastiraki Square, with great views of the Acropolis - a very nice touch.
Thank you urban adventures and thank you Babis.

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgable. Babis taught us all about various kinds of architecture and really made history come alive for us. We ended up spending a few days with him on a bunch of different trips - he was really incredible!

Having George as our local guide was fantastic! Getting to a hidden away rooftop cafe to enjoy some Greek coffee and an incredible view was a highlight.

I had an amazing morning in Athens. On this tour you will see Athens from a different and more local perspective. First we strolled through the beautiful markets in the city center. There you find amazing herbs and spices, a lot of nuts, handmade soaps, olives, olive oils and so much more. All local products of Greece where you can find unique gifts and souvenirs for a good price.
Later we did a walk through the center and stopped on a view very beautiful churches and chapels. So much history in downtown that is easy to miss when you walk on your own. Then you stop for a greek coffee in the most beautiful rooftop with an amazing view of the city center and acropolis. Best.stop.ever! The tour continues through very small and hidden pathes with island flair. You pass beautiful old houses (the first houses in Athens) and street art.
Our Guide George was super friendly and knowledgeable. He really likes to share the passion about his country. George is also very helpful with information what to do after the tour and were to go next. He also answers every question you have.
Thank you so much for a great morning in Athens. Its the perfect way to start your visit in Athens.
