sebastian athens tour guide

Following my undergraduate studies at the Faculty of History and Archaeology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and my postgraduate studies in the Ancient History and Classical Archaeology I became a tourist guide certified by the Ministry of Tourism.

The experience accumulated by my studies is relevant to the career of a tourist guide. In my estimation, the common ground between the two is that learning, adventure and exploring “new” lands, never end.

My curiosity and adventurous spirit which had me exploring and visiting many challenging and exhilarating paths and corners of Greece, led me to Athens. I would be glad to share my passion and knowledge regarding the remarkable legacy of the Greeks with travelers from all over the world, in Greece, where history comes alive.

This will close in 0 seconds

I was born and raised in Athens. However, after finishing school I decided to study Economics in London, which was a great experience, but also made me realize once more that I am a very fun person and Economics are too serious for me.

When I was studying in London I realize my passion to explore the city and not just pass my time there like a visitor. So, I decided to share my passion with others in my own hometown, Athens were I lived for all my life and I love with all my heart. This city still manages to amaze me since you will never get bored in Athens, which has such a rich and layered history spanning over 2500 years.

For this reason the Capital really hooked me in and drove me to try to learn as much about the city as possible and to impart that knowledge to visitors. We travel to see and experience something different. If you’re going to visit Athens, expect the people, food, customs, stores, and interactions to be different and unknown. I would like to be your guide to this new journey and show how to experience my city like a local.

Of course the history and beauty of Acropolis demands a visit from anyone visiting Athens, but my favorite think to do in the city is to walk around the Capitals historic center and discover new places to eat or get a drink so I became an expert on that field.

My name is Costas and I am a licensed tourist guide. I have studied history and Balkan studies and I have a master’s degree on Middle East Studies. Greece is like a never ending palimpsest, with many layers of history and human activity going back to the past

As an instructor of modern Greek language, history and culture to immigrants and other foreign people, I understood that the knowledge delivered wouldn’t have been fruitful, unless the beneficiaries visited the places, touched the Athenian sacred stones and tasted the food. As an internal immigrant in Athens, born and raised in Trikala, a picturesque city of Central Greece, I was in their shoes for a long time and I am glad that I managed to show them that past and present intermingle almost in every step in this magnificent city.

Anthropologically speaking intercultural socializing with people from other countries makes me better as a human being especially when I have the opportunity to share my knowledge on history and anthropology of Greece, for as Thucydides has written the human nature does not change.

As a saying goes, your name speaks of who you are, and mine is Christos, which is Chris, in English — meaning "the annointed one," and, by extension, the Chosen One.

I invite you to a once in a lifetime experience, a dive deep into History, a tour to discover Greece's glorious, ancient past, and it's ever-lasting legacy in our time.

Hi, I am Gregory! I was born in Thessaloniki and studied History and Ethnology in Komotini,Thrace. Then I did my Master's degree on Byzantine Studies at University of London. After coming back home, I spent a decade teaching History.

I felt so excited when I got the Tourist Guide License which had been a dream since my childhood. Living in Athens, a very rich city in culture and monuments, I am ready to share the rich experience of discovering the treasures of Greece with you. My communication skills and great sense of humor will make you witness a unique experience!

Orestis Ermidis studied History for more than 7 years, and then, wanting to spread and popularize the knowledge and understanding of History, he became a tour guide.

Hello there,

I am Ioanna, a licensed tourist guide, born and raised in Athens.

I graduated from Athens Law School and had my master degree in the Netherlands. After having pursued a career in Law, I decided to follow my heart and become a tourist guide, in order to share with our guests and visitors, my passion for the history and the human stories behind our magnificent monuments. So let’s explore the landmarks and the beauties of my country and especially of Athens!

Having worked as a tour guide since the year 2000, I realize that this is the love of my life.  Meeting people from all different places around the globe and doing my best to make sure they have a wonderful day, it's so compensating.  Welcome on board!

I have always been fascinated by Greek history & mythology. I remember myself being the kid that always came home with dirt on its knees, a spoon in the pocket (the ultimate “digging tool”) and many stories to recount about what I had unearthed! So, I pursued my dream and here I am now, a licensed guide & archaeologist, enjoying every moment of being an “ambassador” of the rich past & present of Greece, sharing knowledge & experiences with travelers who visit my country.

I have also studied History and Archaeology in the University of Athens, oriented to history. In addition I am a holder of a Master’s degree in Political Science and Sociology. In 2021 I received a Certification as an expert in Cultural Tourism in Europe and I cooperated with the Hellenic Cultural Center by making a series of lectures for promoting Greek History and Culture. I love history and stories, art and culture and everything that is related with the human beings of the present and the past.

If you are looking for a big dive in history, a journey back in time and to our roots by a multi-dimensional look of the ancient ruins, I am the right person for you.

You will guide me in order to guide you better!

  • Local currency (euros) might be needed in order to pay at the spot small entrance fees and small expenses.
  • In case one of our guests has some special needs, is under certain medication or has a limited walking endurance you can let us know during the organization of your customized tour and we will make sure that small breaks are incorporated into your itinerary.
  • Also it is suggested that you bring with you a small bottle of water or something small to eat in case you need to during the tour. Furthermore if an individual has advanced accessibility needs you can let us know and allow us to customize the tour to fit your needs.

Private Tours in Athens and Greece

Onoufrios dovletis licensed tourist guide.

sebastian athens tour guide

Perfect Tour

We have been to Athens, the Acropolis, and the Acropolis Museum several times before, but this time we took a tour with Onoufrios. It was fantastic. He does a wonderful job conveying the historical, Archaeological, and linguistic importance of everything we saw. We loved It and couldn’t recommend him more. Will definitely be back to hire him for other tours.

Excellent Tour Guide

Four of us booked Onoufrios for a 3 day tour of Athens and surrounding areas. He is extremely knowledgeable and truly a fun person to spend time with. Be sure to book the Corinth Canal day which included super driver, George. He treated us like royalty! Look no further. This is the guide that you want. Check out Onoufrios' website.

Seen the best of Athens!

We hired Onoufrios for a private 1/2 day tour of the Acropolis and surrounding areas. He met us on time, and did an amazing job of keeping us away from the crowds while we toured. He was knowledgeable but more importantly, he was personable and so enthusiastic. Not only did he give us an excellent tour, he also suggested restaurants and other places to visit. Highly recommend!!

Ancient Greece Comes Alive

Onoufrious' expert commentary made our day in Athens as much about the people of ancient Greece as the architecture. He had a special way of conveying visual details to help us understand and retain the historical timelines. We also did his Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus and Nafplio Private Tour, which augmented and reinforced what we learned in Athens. Since we had heard numerous times "This is a replica--the original is in Athens", we squeezed the National Archaeological Museum Private Tour in on our last day. He found many interesting artifacts in a rather stody museum. Highly recommended.

I'm Onoufrios,

an OFFICIAL TOURIST GUIDE licensed by the Ministry of Tourism to give tours, both inside and outside sites and museums . The official guides are required to wear a blue badge . It doesn’t get more private and personal than this, as I am not an agency and I don't arrange packages. ‍

                            * * *

I have a profound love for Greece and I enjoy giving awareness tours to people who really want to learn, who are interested in art , history , local culture , politics and want to have a nice time .   If you are not interested, if you are looking for a shopping/eating tour or if people call you high-maintenance, I am definitely ( not probably) not the right guide for you.

                             * * *

Once upon a time, Αθήνα used to be the centre of... everything! It was the birthplace of Democracy ; home to philosophers , such as Socrates , Plato and Aristotle ; it gave birth to theatre itself. There's a reason why it was called the ' School of Greece '.

This is indeed where Europe and 'Western Civilization' began!

The city offers:

  • numerous museums (two of the world's most important ones: the National Archaeological Museum and the Acropolis Museum, ranked in the World Top 10)
  • several hills for hiking
  • plenty of ancient sites , in the centre & nearby
  • cafés and restaurants in the old town ( Plaka ) or other modern areas in the centre or by the sea
  • very vibrant nightlife
  • a lot of beaches as well as a lake and
  • easy access to many islands !

So allow yourselves   a  f e w  d a y s   in this great city that started it all...

     athens deserves it.

Below are my suggestions. Of course the tours can be customised according to your needs ! * The meeting point is always a pre-designated spot. I do not provide hotel pick-up or drop-off unless it's a day trip including a vehicle.
