Hi there, and welcome to Athens! I am Lida, and I'm excited to be your gateway to the enchanting world of Greece! Beyond my interests in language, literature, and cultural exploration, I have the immense pleasure of being a licensed tour guide, sharing my passion for this remarkable country with travelers like you. My journey as a guide began as a result of the deep desire to introduce people to the captivating history, mythology, and diverse landscapes that Greece has to offer. While Athens holds a special place in my heart, I also specialize in tours to other magnificent destinations like Epidaurus, Mycenae, Corinth, Delphi and any unexplored corner that you may dream. Every region holds their unique allure, each with a rich tapestry of stories waiting to be unveiled. Greece, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, beckons travelers from around the globe. Whether it's the breathtaking Acropolis, the mystical aura of Delphi's Oracle, or the sun-drenched Greek islands, there's something here for every explorer. I aim to help you immerse yourself in the essence of Greece, whether it's the fascinating archaeological wonders, the vibrant culture, or the warm hospitality of its people. With my expertise, I aspire to provide unforgettable experiences, tailored to your interests and preferences. Together, we can craft a personalized tour that captures the essence of Greece, from the iconic landmarks to the hidden treasures. Let's embark on this journey together and create memories that will last a lifetime. - Licensed Guide from the Greek Ministry of Tourism - Proficient in English, Spanish and Greek (what a surprise!) - World-class foodie (and happy to share my secrets with you!)

Lida was beyond amazing! She had a very good plan to help bring the history alive of the acropolis, Athens and Greece. She was personable, interesting, funny and very engaging. We had an 18 yr old and 22 yr old with us and they thought it was equally as amazing! Lida even helped us find a place to eat and intervened when my acropolis tickets would not load on my mobile. Highly recommend Lida for any and all tours she advertises for. 5 stars!
James M.United States
Lida was enthusiastic, friendly and engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable across all periods of ancient Greek history, art, culture and mythology. I would highly recommend Lida as an expert guide for the National Archaeological Museum in Athens of whatever length of time you can devote - her tour scales perfectly.
Michele G.United States
Lida is a fabulous guide. This was a great introduction to Athens on our first evening! She engaged our whole group of 9 and incorporated both the history and mythology in a funny and entertaining manner. She took extra care to assist us with further plans for our upcoming tour days and helped me to get necessary tickets that I had failed to book for the next day with a different guide (definitely going the extra mile). She also helped us to navigate back to the hotel on the Metro safely and inexpensively, we would not have braved this without her guidance and for a group of 9 the metro is definitely the least expensive way to travel. I will look for Lida again on a future trip to Athens!
Shaun M.United States
Lida is awesome. One of the better guides we've had. Highly recommend.
Christopher M.United States
Lida is passionate, knowledgeable and funny. We had such a great visit to the Acropolis! Lida knows the site so well we felt like we saw parts we would have missed without her; she even had the timing down to avoid crowds. Our kids (ages 16 and 13) made a point to tell us that they really liked Lida because she engaged them with questions and made an effort to speak to them directly.
