My husband Jim and I were joined by our best friends on a fabulous trip to Greece. By far, the finest and best part of Athens was meeting Nadia and touring with her through historical sites and off the beaten path. She is a passionate Athenian who reveres and honors her ancestry. This Greek American absolutely adores the Athenian Nadia who is a gem filled with historical and cultural knowledge. Cannot wait to return to take another tour!

Nadia came highly recommended through a mutual friend and was my husband and I’s tour guide in Athens in November 2019. Through Nadia’s website, we requested a tour that was ‘off-the-beaten-path’; we were staying in Athens for several days and wanted to see beyond the typical tourist sites in the downtown area. Nadia catered to our request wonderfully and showed us many areas downtown that we would not have found on our own. We saw hidden areas of the old fortified wall, murals with interesting stories, and received recommendations on where to eat and what to see in our remaining time. Nadia is incredibly knowledgeable and her background and warmth make for a truly enriched experience. My husband and I would not only highly recommend her, we would be delighted to contact her again when in the Athens area!

As the author of the thriller science fiction novels “The Second Device” and “The Third Device,” I needed to do some firsthand research in Greece as I prepared to write my final novel in the trilogy. I am forever grateful to Nadia, who spent three days with me catering her tours and comments to my specific needs. The wealth of knowledge this marvelous woman has about Greek history, mythology, art, archaeology, and the ancient Greek language is boundless, and she made them all come alive for me in ways that I didn’t expect. From the museums and Parthenon ruins of Athens to the Oracle at Delphi, Nadia shared her passion for all things Greek with me, and my third novel will be all the better for the experience. Thank you, Nadia!

Our guide Nadia gave our family great care with her enthusiastic explanations of not only the artifacts and Greek genius with structure, but more importantly,with engrossing, detailed explanation of the glorious civilization, abundant with mythology, art history, and archeology,with an historical perspective for western civilization. Though the Acropolis is itself awe-inspiring and should be compulsory for all earnest visitors, her Democracy tour was an absolute stunning insight into western civilization that marked the high point of our classical experience that my family and I will never forget (we still recount and discuss the education that she gave us).This accredited educator will become your "face-of-Athens"- she left an unforgettable impression.

We completed a walking tour & Acropolis tour with Nadia who was generous, attentive & very knowledgeable. Loved both days despite the intense heat. Having someone to show you, point out interesting facts, discuss mythology & help the surroundings come alive. Highly recommend her service if you are looking for small in depth tours.

Nadia made our whole Athens experience. She is smart, extremely knowledgeable, informative and fun to be with. We did a 6 hour tour and fit the Acropolis, the Acropolis museum, Plaka and some of modern Athens into our tour. We only had one day in Athens and Nadia really helped us feel like we got a good taste. It is a fascinating city, but Nadia really was wonderful. Thank you Nadia for such a great visit to Athens. I love your city.

Today we had the distinct pleasure and privilege of being guided through the Acropolis Museum and Acropolis by Nadia Pavlikaki. Nadia demonstrated and displayed a passion for history, archaeology and the people of Greece and this was evident through the lessons in history that she shared with us. Nadia provided us with a small private group tour which was informative, rich is history and painted the perfect canvas for what was the history of the Acropolis, Athens, Greece and its people. This tour was truly one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Nadia was warm, friendly, engaging and a wealth of knowledge. This Acropolis Museum and Acropolis tour has certainly exceeded all expectations and we highly recommended Nadia if you’re in Athens looking to tour. Warmest regards,
