My daughter and I took this tour our first day in Athens. Yiorgos was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed our conversations with him and all the info he provided. The art is beautiful and thought-provoking. It was great to learn about street art history in Athens and about the different artists and their perspectives. What a great experience. Thank you, Yiorgos!!

We had an enjoyable, aye opener tour with Yoirgus, his passion for art was contagious, his knowledge and love for Athens has made the tour so interesting, we didn't feel the heavy heat and time passed so quick. I will definitely join him for his other tours.

We took this tour on our last day in Athens, it is one of the most enjoyable things we did while we were there. Yiorgos is an extremely friendly & kind person giving you an open & honest view of Athens, it's street art & artists. It is a fun, educational & thought provoking tour through the less touristic areas of Athens, where you get to see a real side of the city. We were honoured to have such a down to earth, knowledgeable & passionate guide to show us amazing works of art. The only negative thing was we didn't find out about his tours sooner, so we could have booked his other tour as well!

Great street art tour, I definitely recommend it! Not only did I get to discover a really cool neighbourhood, beautiful old buildings, learned fun facts about the city, but also (and most importantly) got new perspectives on street art and their artists. It was really worth taking the time to discover this side of the city, which gave me a glimpse of what the city is really about. Felt more like going for a walk with a friend than being a tourist! Everything I was looking for!

Had the best tour with Yiorgos doing the Athens hills hop. Worth the climbs to see such breathtaking views. Thanks Yiorgos and Athens Locals for an amazing time!

Meet our Local

”Every time I opened my Google maps what you could see was crazy.. Hundreds of pins, favorites and starred places around Athens” he says.

Born and raised in Athens, Yiorgos decided to drop everything and start building Athens Locals because of his love for the city!

What makes him special? The fact that he walked or biked every little inch of the city, handpicked the coolest spots, neighborhoods, streets and shops in the city and wants to share it with you.

”Every time I went on a trip, I always had this thought, to find a local to show me around and experience the city from a different perspective.” That’s how the idea was born!

Yiorgos will not only walk around the city with you and show you the best of it, but make you feel comfortable and get the whole local experience, as he would also do for a friend!
