C'était parfait. Elle nous a aussi donné des adresses pour diner ou boire un verre.Posted on Google Val Bgx08/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superbe expérience. Nous avons adoré. Charis nous a offert une remontée dans le temps pédagogique et ludique mais surtout elle s'assure que les notions sont comprises et retenues. Histoire, mythologie, moment de vie...tout est abordé. Je recommande vivement !Posted on Google Moilesyeuxbleus30/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons tout d’abord rencontré Anna à notre arrivée samedi pour une découverte historique d’Athènes très intéressante et sympathique, un super moment de partage agrémenté d’une découverte de quelques spécialités culinaires grecques. Nous avons enchaîné dimanche avec Charis pour une visite de l’Acropole puis de son musée : un super moment ou nous avons appris plein de choses, de nombreuses anecdotes, des sourires et des souvenirs magnifiques. Un grand merci : Michel et Marlène, Cédric et Angélique, Yvan et Marie, Jean-Stephane et Sophie et enfin Franck.Posted on Google Angelique Jeminet18/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Guide très compétente, chaleureuse et passionnée qui sait rendre l'histoire vivante, pour enfants notamment mais aussi pour les parents accompagnateurs. On a énormément appréciés la visite. Merci Charis pour cette belle expérience !Posted on Google Marlene Rigler15/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had many different private guides in different parts of the world, but none better than Charis Kavvada, who was the most knowledgeable, passionate and fun to be with guide we have had! There is nothing she doesn't know about the Acropolis and she is an expert in many other sites we didn't have time to see. You will be fortunate to have Charis as your guide!Posted on Google nancy greenspon10/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had the great fortune to book a tour of the Acropolis Museum with Charis. She is one of the finest, most knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides we have ever experienced. And we have had many excellent guides over the past 30 years. Her attention to detail and her passion for the history and mythology, the architecture and the archaeology and her overall approach to the collection were all superb. We felt so fortunate and taken care of. Please book with Charis and you won’t be disappointed. You will surely be delighted!Posted on Google JP Nicolaides21/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charis is a great guide, very informative and fun tour. Walked up the Acropolis with my elderly mother who thoroughly enjoyed the games & tour & was able to keep up with the pace. Very highly recommended!!Posted on Google Natasha Redina17/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Η κυρία Χάρις είναι χαρισματική στην επεξήγηση και αποκωδικοποίηση της αρχαιότητας! Σε σχολική εκδρομή στους Δελφούς, περάσαμε καταπληκτικά και καταλάβαμε σε βάθος μέσα από τη λεπτομερή και πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα παρουσίαση τον χώρο, το μουσείο, την ιστορία του τόπου και τη διαδρομή. Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ.Posted on Google George Halimourdas30/12/2025

Everything You Need to Know Before Booking a tour
Planning your visit to Athens? Here you'll find answers about our tours, meeting points, timings, pricing and what's included.
How long are the tours and where do they start?
Each tour has its own duration — between 2 and 4 hours depending on the experience. Meeting points vary by tour and are confirmed when you book. Everything is detailed on each tour page.
We only have one day in Athens. How do we make the most of it?
Tell me who you are travelling with, what you love and what you absolutely cannot miss — and I will build the day around that. One day in Athens, done right, is enough to change how you see the ancient world. Done wrong, it is just a queue at the Acropolis. Let’s make sure it is the first one.
My group has mixed interests — some want history, some just want a good time. Can you handle that?
That is actually my favourite kind of group. I adapt as we go — more stories for the curious ones, more humour for the reluctant ones. Nobody has ever left one of my tours bored.
Do entrance fees and tastings cost extra?
Yes — guide fees and site or museum entrances are always separate. For food tours and tastings, the cost of what you eat and drink is in addition to the guide fee. Everything is explained clearly before you book — no surprises.
