About this tour
This call helps plan a route through Ioannina's Ottoman-era sites before booking the filmed sessions. Christos compares the castle, the mosque and the tomb, and talks through how much time each deserves. It stays practical rather than covering any one site in full.
The call opens with a question about how much time someone has, and Christos shapes the rest of the conversation around that. He shares a map on screen and sends a short suggested order afterward.
This suits anyone planning several sessions in the old town and wanting a sensible order. It also works well before the longer castle session.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included

Questions about this tour

What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- This runs as a call on Google Meet, with a shared map rather than a walk. My camera stays on throughout so it still feels like a real conversation.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
