My name is Maria and I am a licensed tourist guide based in Athens, Greece. My work experience counts 24 years and I still feel the same enthusiasm and excitement every time I am about to start a new tour. Athens is a fascinating city and one of the most historical places in the world. Either you have a few days here or even a few hours arriving on a cruise ship, there is always time to discover its hidden treasures and its wide range of historical sites. And that is where you need me to bring everything to life for you! License number: 06ΣΞ00216ΕΟ I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

This another highly recommended tour of Athens Ancient Agora. The amazing structures that were built thousands of years ago still stands. The history of Athens is simply mind blowing. It was amazing to see the Parthenon, the Theatre of Dionysus and Ancient Olympia, some of the highlights of this tour. It was also fascinating to see the Athens seafood and meat market and have the most delicious and fresh fried anchovies.

Maria was the best guide ever! She met us at hour hotel and took us to some local places for a quick bite and then lead us up to the acropolis. She was patient and kind with our slower group member, she was uber knowledgeable about not old architecture but history and ancient culture. The best part was touring the markets below the acropolis and going to a very unusual, secretly local restaurant. Amazing!! and a story for the ages! Thank you Maria for everything!!!
