Authenticity. Passion. Real Greece. With over 16 years of experience, I’m a licensed tour guide and passionate storyteller, offering immersive walking, gastronomic, sailing, and private guided tours by car throughout Athens and every authentic corner of Greece. My journey began with a deep love for my country’s culture, rich history, and a lifelong passion for travel. I aim to guide travelers beyond the usual tourist paths—toward places that breathe tradition, character, and soul. Whether wandering through a lively market or hiking a tranquil mountain trail, I help guests connect with Greece on a deeper, more meaningful level. One of my favorite experiences is hiking Mount Imittos in Kaisariani—Athens’ closest trail to the Acropolis which is deeply tied to the philosophical and political history of the city, from Plato to modern times. I hold diplomas in Tourism Management (DIEK Piraeus), Traditional Greek & Mediterranean Cuisine (Le Monde, Athens), Mountain Guiding (HMGA), and Sailing (NOTK). Whether you prefer a private experience or a small group adventure, my goal is to make you feel like you’re exploring Greece with a knowledgeable local friend—not just a guide. Step into the dream of Authentic Greece with a passionate local storyteller who reveals the heart and soul of tradition and history in every moment!

    This was a great way to get out of the city and enjoy nature and see some historical sites. Ioanna explained how the mountain is an important part of the history of Athens. She’s also a good cook!

    Thoroughly enjoyed hiking through the woods with Ioanna! She is very knowledgable about the area & how to hike safely. We enjoyed all the visits and stories about the monasteries. The views were amazing. The picnic lunch was delicious. A very enjoyable outing in every way!!!

    We had the pleasure of spending 2 days with Marianna on our recent trip to Greece. She was an absolute joy to be with and is very knowledgeable of all the wonderful sites we saw. We saw both the city and the countryside. Besides providing us with the typical names and dates, she gave us insights into the Greek culture that only a lifelong native of Greece can do. ...

    What a wonderful tour! Marianna was the perfect guide and has spoiled us. She was the best guide guide out of 100s that we have had over the years. She was knowledgeable, gave us the tour we asked for plus more and she was a lot of fun. When I am in the area I will choose her as our guide again.
