About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Dan P0 contributionsFascinating and fun tour!We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite entertaining. It was a great tour for anyone with a base level of philosophy knowledge. We saw some fascinating sites and learnt some great things about Athenian history, philosophy and mythology!Written 4 February 2025
- 774shaelc0 contributionsThe best tour we’ve ever been on!Our tour guide John was extremely knowledgable. We learned so much from him! An excellent experience. Highly recommended!Written 4 January 2025
- Robin Y0 contributionsAmazing experience!This was a wonderful tour! Our guide, John, was incredible and we could’ve listened to him talk all day! He was kind, funny, thoughtful, and super knowledgeable. This was our first introduction to Athens and we are so glad we had John to show us around and make it such an immersive and enjoyable experience. All three of my teens loved it! John is the best!Written 27 December 2024
- drakent0 contributionsAthens Philosophy!If you're looking to delve into the fascinating world of ancient Greek philosophy, look no further than Bianca! From the moment we met, her passion and enthusiasm were infectious. She effortlessly tailored the tour to our interests, seamlessly weaving through the lives and ideas of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and more. Bianca has a knack for gauging her audience. She expertly navigated the pace of the tour, providing concise overviews when needed and diving deep into captivating details whenever we expressed curiosity. Her knowledge is impressive, and her storytelling brought these iconic figures to life. Beyond her expertise, Bianca's warm personality and genuine desire to ensure we had a memorable experience truly set her apart. She made our day in Athens an absolute highlight of our trip. Thank you, Bianca, for sharing your love of philosophy and for creating such a special day for us! Highly recommend!Written 26 December 2024
- Sightsee6817080 contributionsA MUST when you visit Greece!I think I really love Greece now 😂... I'm so impressed with all the things that have birthed western civilization that sprang from this soil from the minds of the world's greatest thinkers. To top it off , education is free here!! My kind of people! On this tour, I learned all about how Socrates was the bedrock of many different schools of philosophy and from him sprang Plato and then Aristotle who created the sciences! I won't say too much so as not to spoil the surprises, but I never knew Aristotle was responsible for so many contributions, even Anatomy itself!! He was so curious and his philosophy was to observe the world and from him observations he left us a gift we had no conceived and lifted the veil of ignorance off the face of the earth for many! It was a great tour! Bianca was the best history teacher I've had so far! She helped me fill in a lot of the gaps in my understanding. She shared insights with me about Greek culture. I was glad to have made a friend 😊 by the end of the tour. You will do yourself a disservice if you do not add this to your itinerary while in Greece! Enjoy!Written 15 December 2024
- 322rikad0 contributionsBianca, Goddess of Tour Guides!If you only have time for one tour in Greece, then you must take this tour with Bianca! Why? Because you will take from this experience more than just information. You will be informed, inspired, and possibly transformed. Bianca will accompany you on an intellectual and spiritual time travel adventure of the mind where you meet and discuss with the Greek giants of philosophy while walking the streets and taking in the sights of Athens, where Socrates himself once trod. This is not just a tour, but rather an experience and adventure that will engage and delight you. Thank you Bianca for the best experience yet!Written 21 November 2024

- brianap6440 contributionsAmazing Athens Tour!!This was was a highlight of our trip! Bianca was our tour guide and at the end of the tour she felt like a true friend. She was passionate, knowledgeable, and so easy to get along with. Our tour took us all over the city but we took our time and drank in the scenery and history. There was no time crunch, it just felt like a few friends taking a stroll. 5 hours flew by. A perfect way to spend a morning while in Athens!Written 22 October 2024
- N2247OTcolinh0 contributionsA Must Do! Start your time in Athens with this tour! Engaging and interesting!Bianca was an incredible guide! She is deeply knowledgeable and her passion for philosophy is undeniable. She makes everything easy to understand and engaging (nothing boring about this tour!). You will learn so much and feel like you are hanging out with a dear friend the whole time. The 4+ hours together felt like half an hour and we did not want the tour to end! This is such an interesting tour and the discussions it speaks are stimulating. We cannot recommend this tour enough and especially suggest doing this tour early in your trip to Athens to also gain knowledge of things to expect during your stay in Greece. Thank you so much Bianca! If we ever return to Greece we will reach out!Written 22 October 2024
- vickie9980 contributionsWonderful trip!Our trip to Greece was amazing! We are so happy we worked with Be a Greek! Can’t express how smooth everything went! We were there for 15 days. Everyday we received a message reminding us the time our driver would arrive & plan for the day. Every ride was on time & friendly. Our guides were top notch & very informative! We were so relaxed because everything was taken care of! I highly recommend Be a Greek! We loved working with them & LOVED our whole trip!!Written 14 October 2024

We had a large group (7 of us) and Bianca really took us on a great walking and tasting tour of some of the best spots in Monastiraki. Keeping five kids entertained for four hours is no small accomplishment. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to get a feel for the city's restaurant scene.

What I like about food tours in general is the ability to receive a great deal of historical insight into a city while experiencing the culture through the foods sampled. This food tour delivers all of those elements within a several block radius. We started off at the Monastiraki Metro Station in Athens and walked several blocks over four hours sampling various Greek delights. Elements that I really appreciated were that the food stops which were unique, local restaurants, many family-owned and several with more than 100 years in business. All of the food samplings were uniquely Greek foods which allowed sampling of flavors that were fantastic and spices which were unique. Our food tour host turned out to be Dimitrious who is one of the “Be a Greek” company owners and who is from the area. Thus he provides a high degree of credible knowledge from the perspective of a local rather than the other types of guides that I have experienced who are imported contract labor who regurgitate a rehearsed script. He is friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated the depth of Greek knowledge which he provided and the passion with which he imparted his knowledge of food and history. He is very interested in the experience of each guest. We sampled several shops with small offerings of food and liquor before ending the tour in a restaurant for dinner. We had the evening tour which began at 5 pm and ended a 9 pm. One gets a lot of food on this tour. We left absolutely stuffed. So make sure you come with an appetite. I have been on several food tours in cities across the world (Barcelona, Paris, New York, Bangkok and Amsterdam to name few). This food tour by “Be a Greek” ranks right up at the top. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Dimitrious!

We got to know authentic bakeries, restaurants and markets and learned a lot about the history and preparation of original Greek food.
During the personal conversations we heard many facts about Athens and life in the city.
