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.

Desde que contactè a Lida supe que serìa perfecta para enseñarnos el Acròpolis. Somos una familia de seis, papà, mamà, tres niños de 14, 12 y 10 años y un abuelo muy activo. Mis hijos tenìan una expectativa muy alta y Lida la superò. Ella es todo lo que deseas de un guìa: amable, agradable, con mucho conocimiento, flexible y divertida. Nos recogiò puntualmente en el puerto en un transporte privado, fuimos de los primeros en llegar al Acròpolis, antes que todos los autobuses. Pudimos disfrutar de todas las interesantìsimas explicaciones sin las multitudes. Lida se acoplò inmediatamente a los conocimientos que tenìan mis hijos e hizo que todo este grupo intergeneracional se sintiera incluìdo. Las horas pasaron volando y nos quedamos con la mejor memoria de este impresionante lugar.

Our tour was brilliant! Lida was really informative and passionate, and told us everything we needed to know about the Acropolis. She organised our travel to and from the cruise ship too! She was really friendly and funny, and did everything at our pace. We mentioned we were interested in Greek Mythology and Lida mentioned all the bits that she thought we'd find interesing (Which we did!) Absolutely recommend.

Your Athens tour itinerary

- Meet & Greet at Piraeus Cruise Terminal: At the agreed time, you'll find me waiting for you near the terminal, holding a sign with your name. Yes, that's me! After leaving the port, our day begins with the heart of Athens, the Acropolis. - Ascend the Acropolis: Walk the sacred pathways of the Acropolis, learning about its history and significance. Explore the Parthenon, the Erechtheion with its famous, enigmatic Caryatids. - Plaka Neighborhood: Our tour continues in the historical centre and Plaka to explore the vibrant historical neighbourhood. - Port Call & Panoramic Tour: It's time to begin our journey back to the port, but not without capturing some memorable moments! We'll embark on a panoramic city tour, passing by notable landmarks like the Panathenaic Stadium (where we'll pause for photos), the Greek Parliament with its iconic Guards in national uniform, and Hadrian's Arch. As we head to the Piraeus Cruise Terminal, it's not a farewell but a "See you soon, and. . . bon voyage!"
