My husband and I booked the private tour, and it was absolutely wonderful—worth every penny! The tour was deeply meaningful, offering incredible insights into the city’s gay and queer history, as well as the places and communities that matter today. Spyrio was thoughtful, passionate, and personable, making us feel cared for and connected throughout the experience.

Walking through Athens with such context made the city feel alive in a whole new way. I especially recommend doing this tour early in your trip to gain a strong sense of the city and its queer history. It was informative, engaging, and just an all-around incredible experience. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Athens!

Spyros was a warm and interesting host who clearly has huge enthusiasm and lots of knowledge about the queer history of Athens. I enjoyed the mix of facts and stories from modern times to antiquity. The tour is a great way to orientate yourself in the city and we covered loads of ground. An Airbnb photographer who was there posed a bit of a challenge as he was a bit invasive and rude. The host dealt with it very calmly within the first 15 mins and we continued on. The group gelled well and by the end we went for a drink together and exchanged details. Overall a really nice and informative way to spend a few hours in Athens.

Minha experiência foi bastante negativa. O anfitrião contratou um fotógrafo para acompanhar o passeio, mas em vez de registrar o momento de forma natural, ele interrompia constantemente as explicações do guia para nos posicionar e dirigir como se fôssemos modelos. Isso quebrou totalmente o ritmo e a imersão da atividade. Para dar um exemplo: num show o fotógrafo não pede para o cantor parar e posar, ele registra o que acontece. O mesmo deveria valer aqui. O passeio perdeu autenticidade e espontaneidade. Além disso, algumas atitudes do fotógrafo soaram preconceituosas, o que deixou o clima ainda mais desconfortável. Faltou profissionalismo tanto do fotografo quanto do anfitrião.

The tour was fantastic! Spyridon’s passion for Athens shone through the whole time. He is very knowledgeable and fun, and he was able to tell all the many stories in a engaging and educational way. Very interesting experience overall that I can only highly recommend!
