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.

In this tour we explore major sites in down town Athens. It starts at Syntagma square or your hotel if it is centrally located near the Acropolis area and includes a walk through the National gardens, a photo stop at the Panathenean stadium, a walk next to the temple of Zeus and Hadrians Arch, a visit to the Acropolis where we will admire the Parthenon and Plaka ,the oldest and most charming neighbourhood in Athens.
Maria was a pleasure to.spend time with. Very professional.and knowledgeable. Made our tour of the Acropolis so much more meaningful with the information she shared with us. You could see the depth of her knowledge and desire to share it, thus giving us the background to more fully understand this historic. 828.44site. We easily recommend Maria as a person to tour with.
Maria was an excellent guide. She is a wealth of knowledge and shares her passion for Athenian history. She adapted to the needs of our group but still made sure we saw all of the highlights of our tour
This walking tour was such a great way to see the best of Athens in a short amount of time! We covered all the key highlights, including the Acropolis, the peaceful National Garden, the Changing of the Guard, and the Panathenaic Stadium (the original Olympic stadium). It was such a fantastic mix of history and culture packed into one tour. Our guide was on time, super friendly, and clearly knew so much about the city's history. She shared great stories and context along the way, but she also gave us plenty of time to explore, take photos, and ask questions. It never felt rushed, which we really appreciated. The Acropolis was, of course, a highlight. Seeing the Parthenon up close after learning about it for so long was honestly a bit surreal. The Changing of the Guard ended up being an unexpected favorite too. Walking through the National Garden was a nice change of pace as well, a peaceful little escape from the busier streets of the city. Overall, this tour gave us such a well-rounded first look at Athens. If you're short on time but want to see the highlights and actually learn something along the way, I'd highly recommend it!
This walking tour was fantastic. Maria got us to the top of the Acropolis with minimum steps and at a pace we could all manage. Her commentary is exceptional. Great tour!
Maria was a wonderful guide to our family! She knew all the best places to stop for some quick shade and family photos, all while telling us fascinating history. The best and ONLY way to see the Acropolis and other historical spots in Athens!!
Maria was fantastic! Her information during our tour really enhanced our experience. I would highly recommend.
