Athens Architectural Walk

see athens like a local

 

we selected art, architecture and food as our main interest. out tour guide Yannis took us to beautiful hidden gems of Greek architecture explaining all the back stories that we wouldn't have found out on our own or with a typical city tour. we also visited few cafes and shops that served authentic Greek food.
totally recommend it for anyone who want to see Athens like a local.

An inspiring experience

 

No words can describe the professionalism of such a guide. Yorgos Madianos was an exceptional guide, he was able to tell the story behind each art and gave a lot to understand how much he understood the subject. It was an inspiring as well as a motivating experience. Thank you Athens Insiders for the possibility of making this experience a reality.

Athens Architectural Walk

Comfortable Greek Island Food Tour

 

Initially we contacted the insiders of Athens and booked an architectural tour in Athens. My wife and I are both senior architects. After extensive communication with Anthia via email, we finally contacted Athens Insiders Tours to arrange the whole journey according to our plan. They gave us excellent service and all the tour guide companies chose the islands and food places we visited. We actually It is planned to use their services to go to the northern part of the country next year to learn more about the Greek landscape and historical architecture. Hope they can maintain high-quality service! !
