    The waking tour was amazing. We walked around the center of Aegina town and while we were seeing different great buildings and areas of the old town we learned a lot of fascinating insights. Out tour guide Eleni was very friendly and had a lot of deeper inside knowledge about the history of Aegina. There is also a Greek coffee included in the price. ;) On top Kiki helped me to organize an amazing, individual itinerary for me during my stay on Aegina. I loved all of it. Thank you so much to the whole team of Kiki Rebel Tours.

    Our tour guide, Sarah, was an absolute delight. We were having trouble locating the meeting point at the gate of Aegina and she accommodated us at a different spot. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and a blessing to meet. She knew many locals we came across and provided tips on the best places to shop and dine. I would highly recommend taking this tour on your first day in town instead of your last like we did. It's a beautiful island with lots of history to learn.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this great walking tour! The history of Aegina is fascinating and I learned so much whilst we explored and meandered down the streets with local highlights. Loved it and would never have found all the sights by myself and you can't get the same experience from a book! The Greek mezze at the end was a perfect ending to the tour. Well done. Thank you so much to the great tour guides Kiki and Sandy who made it fun, entertaining, and informative!
