    Sebastian is a great guide! Knows his history and can take you a little more off the main tourist path. Showing and telling you more interesting things about the city. We would highly recommend his tour. Especially the food after!

    As an American, I tried to learn a little bit about Greece, while I was planning my trip. Would you consider making a video, recommending some movies, song songs, either Folk or popular or some books about the country and the culture?

    Sebastian gave us a wonderful tour of Athens on August 20, 2025. We learned a lot of interesting history about Athens's and visited some unique sites. We finished the tour with a most delicious Greek meal! This was the perfect way to begin our vacation.

    We took your advice and got tickets at the Odeon in October. Any tips for watching the concert there? Can we rent cushions? Some of our group are elderly and I worry it won’t be very comfortable. Thank you for all your videos! I feel so much more prepared having watched so many of them!

    Learned alot from you Sébastien. But buy what you want everywhere else. Athens is expensive no matter what you buy. You have to struggle to find a good Greek meal. Quality artisan olive was 15EU in Nafplion and was 35EU in Athens. The only regret we have about our 1 month tour of Greece was waiting to do our shopping in Athens.

    Thank you Sebastian, you put my mind at ease for booking a 3 day stay in Athens before heading to the Santorini. Was wondering if 3 days were enough, but now believe it should be. I also watched your Santorini videos and must say that i had instant buyers remorse about Santorini as its a family holiday with youg children and realised that the beaches may not be that great . But you have also shed a lot of light on which beaches to go to and on other things that will still make the holiday a great one. Thanks again and find your videos informative as well as engaging!

    Thank you for all your help and detailed info. My wife and myself had an unforgettable time in Santorini, Mykonos and Athens. We took all your recommendations. From travel tips, to beaches, bars, restaurants, Wineries, Sightseeing and more. It would not have had the same impact without your guide and help. Those of you travelling to Greece, I very highly recommend you check out all his videos. You can't go wrong. Keep up the great work and thank you Sebastian.

    Dear Sebastian:

    We will arrive in Piraeus on October 14, 2014. Can you pick us up from the cruise tour and take us to the airport to pick up a rental car? We will stay at Ramada on the east coast for 2 nights and after that we are open to suggestions and recommendations regarding lodging, sightseeing and eating. Thanks.

    Santorini is one day visit and Athens max 2 days. This guys is just bs people to go there. I just too one week Santorini n one week Athens and it was a waste of time of money. I’ll never go back. The best way is to take a cruise with this stops included. Remember this is a 3rd world poor country and Athen shows vandalism from the past with nasty graffitied every where. Sebastian your lies r coming to and end, you better get a real job Mr Scam

    My husband and I really enjoy Sebastian's videos. We are so excited to sign up for his Athens tour! He is very responsive by e-mail and willing to meet us at our hotel. More after the tour! If you're going to Greece, definitely watch his videos for great tips on hotels but book in advance! Good tips regarding personal safety!

    Rented a car. Where can we park without leaving our keys with the parking lot? Currently, we are on our way to Amaila Hotel. The parking lot next to the hotel is Aegean Parking. They want us to leave our keys with them. Is this legit? Next question: We would feel more comfortable with self parking. Are there any self parking near the Amaila Hotel pick up spot?
