Hi, I am Thomas!
As your ToursByLocals guide, my goal is to make your experience in Athens, the historic capital of Greece, as authentic and memorable as possible and ensure that you will get the best of what it has to offer.
Through me, and my extensive knowledge and love for this majestic and ancient city, you will experience Athens like a true Athenian, discovering the city's rich history, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine.
From the iconic Acropolis, the Temple of the Olympian Zeus and the Ancient Agora to the bustling Monastiraki, the gorgeous maze of alleyways and backstreets of Psirri and the picturesque streets of the Plaka district (Old Town), I will take you on a journey through time and venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems that only the locals know about.
With over 3,000 years of history, Athens is a city that is steeped in culture, mythology, and ancient ruins. Whether you are a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone who loves to explore new places and soak up the local atmosphere, lifestyle, culture and customs, I can tailor our tour to suit your interests and preferences.
But that's not all! In addition to exploring Athens itself, I offer tours to Delphi, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and the site of the famous Oracle of Delphi (Pythia) and also to Cape Sounio and the Poseidon Temple, a magnificent cliff-top sanctuary dedicated to the God of the Sea, where you can witness the breathtaking sunset over the Aegean Sea.
These tours are a perfect complement to our exploration of Athens and provide a unique and immersive experience that offers an opportunity to experience the stunning natural beauty that surrounds the city, as well as a deeper insight into the history and mythology of Greece. Throughout the day, I'll provide insightful commentary, enriching your experience with historical and cultural anecdotes.
I am a well-read and a well-traveled people person and my level of English is native-like as I have previously lived, studied (BSc Economics & Accountancy – City, University of London) and worked in London for over a decade, bringing a unique perspective to your tour that blends local knowledge with a global perspective and adding an extra layer of richness to your experience.
With your comfort and convenience as my top priority, I am pleased to offer transportation in my spacious and opulent SUV. Our travel between destinations will be smooth and enjoyable, offering you a convenient and delightful mode of transportation throughout our tours.
If you have a special request for a tour, I am happy to customize the experience to meet your needs and preferences, ensuring that it is tailored to your interests and passions.
So come join me for a memorable adventure through the heart of Athens and beyond, and let's discover the beauty and magic of Greece together, creating memories that will last a lifetime!
