EXCELLENT Based on 43 reviews Rachel Ford2025-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had a wonderful run with Tasos during our stay in Athens. We are both slower runners who take walk breaks and Tasos never made us feel like we were going too slow. On the contrary he made us feel like champions. He was a fantastic tour guide and took us to see many sites.around the city. You can tell how much he loves running and meeting other runners. I am so happy to have met Tasos and highly recommend his tour. Elise Woulfe2025-09-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful time with Tasos on my recent long run! We saw so many monuments, and he shared incredible stories about the history and cultural significance of each! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great workout and overview of Athens while traveling! Adam Cone2025-09-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible tour! Tasos and I ran all over the city of Athens - I signed up for the medium length tour. He took me to so many key viewpoints and important places — it was a fantastic time. What I enjoyed the most was, even tho he’s a punishingly good ultra marathon runner, and has impeccable business etiquette (communication, on time etc), I most enjoyed the explanations and discussions around Athens’ and Greece’s rich history, its impact to so many important things in our civilization today, and how engaging and personable it all was. Literally made me feel like I was running and chatting with a long time friend. All while he also made me crush some serious hills. Thank you Tasos — I had an absolute blast, would do it again in a heartbeat, and would highly recommend this tour to any runner.

He took us to some of the most amazing sites of Athens, gave us a ton of history about everything, and took us on a super enjoyable 20k run! This was one of our favorite tours we’ve taken and definitely a major highlight of our time in Athens. Thank you, Tasos! We had such an amazing run with you! Jon Huang2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great run through the amazing city of Athens with Tasos. Not only is he very knowledgeable about the history but also the science and philosophy of running as a sport and lifestyle. Wholly recommend for any athletes looking to get some miles in while seeing many sites that would otherwise take multiple days to visit. Thank you Tasos for the excellent tour!

Britt Pelzer2025-06-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing experience!!!! I did a long running tour through Athens with Tasos and honestly, it was one of the highlights of my trip. He was incredibly kind, genuine, and welcoming from the start. You can really feel the warmth of his hospitality (and trust me, that’s saying something with these temperatures in Athens!☀️). He knew so much about the city, its history, culture, little hidden corners, and shared it all in such a fun and engaging and calm way, no rush at all. On top of that, he truly understands running. This wasn’t just a jog through the city; it was a reminder of what running is about in the first place: the energy, the connection, the journey: magnificent! I left the tour feeling inspired, recharged, and so grateful for the experience. Highly, highly recommend! 10/10. If you're thinking about it? Do it! Worth it!
