We have been using Nadia as our local guide for our small groups in Athens for 6 years. She is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Our guests always rave about their time with her. She brings the history of Athens to life with her stories and passion for her home town. We highly recommend Nadia as your Athens guide.

Going on a private tour of the Acropolis and Temple of Zeus with Nadia was the best part of our trip in Athens! She was so knowledgeable and warm that our family of four didn't mind walking for three and a half hours straight. Nadia also took some amazing photos of us and made sure we we took in all the views by keeping us away from the crowds and bigger tour groups. We will always remember Nadia and consider her the best tour guide we've ever had!

We were thrilled with our two day mythology and history-focused tour of the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Plaka and ancient Agora, with Nadia Pavlikaki.
She is friendly, happy, extremely knowledgeable about Ancient Greek history, and has a way of distilling the various major events and settings into bites that are understandable and truly interesting. I’ve never been a history buff but I was captivated by the stories she told, pictures and drawings she showed us of how the ancient buildings would have looked, and the way she tied so many things together from history to the modern day.
Both days we were just blown away by how much we learned and how much more we appreciated what we were seeing and why it was built, destroyed, rebuilt. Otherwise it would have literally looked like a bunch of columns and rocks. Fascinating tour and I highly highly recommend Nadia for any tour of Athens. WOW!!

Nadia was wonderful! This tour was just my family. She started by providing a really great overview of the history of Greece, which set the stage for a better understanding of all the changes that happened on and around the Acropolis. She speaks excellent English and is clearly passionate about Greece, it's history, and it's archeology. What a gift she was to us today as she thoroughly provided a small group tour to my family. I highly recommend Nadia as a tour guide for the Acropolis.

I first got to know Nadia on a tour of the Athens Archeological Museum organized by the Parent-Teacher Organization of our international school at Athens, and since then she has become our go-to tour guide for exploring historical sites across Athens and the Peloponnese. In addition to the fascinating tour she gave us of the Archeological Museum, she has guided us through the Acropolis, Mycenae and Nafplio, Kerameikos and the vibrant Street Art scene of Athens. Nadia is extremely knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the culture and history of the ancient sites of Greece. She is friendly and warm and is equally engaging whether your group is 20 people or just a few. As expats living in Greece, Nadia has helped us to get to know this amazing place where we live and to feel more connected to its history. We highly recommend her!

Absolutely fantastic guided tour of the Acropolis and Ancient Agora with Nadia - she's super knowledgable, really friendly and delivers quite complex history with ease, humour and undoubted mastery of her subject - she also very obviousdly is extremely proud of her city and its history. Really recommend a tour with Nadia; she brought the places alive and all four of us were fascinated. Without her they would have just been old ruins, with her they became alive and real and marvellous. Thanks so much Nadia, we hope to be back and take a few more of your guided tours. All the best!
