We took two private tours with Despina of Athens Walking Tours. Everything was excellent. From the first email correspondence until the day we left Greece, she was on top of it all. Not only did Despina give us our private tours in Athens, but she facilitated all of our other tours in Epiduras, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora. Every guide that... more

We loved the Acroplolis tour with guide Georgia. She helped to make sense of Greece's long and complicated history. This tour should not be missed! more

The tour started out fairly well with a stop at the Square and the Parliament and then towards the Acropolis. However upon entering the Acropolis, my party was told to get rid of our Gatorade drinks. As we did that and waited in line to enter the Acropolis, our tour guide had left us and did not wait. We climbed... more

All the reviews are right, we met Despina in the metro station and from 9:30 until the end of our tour, we learned more then we ever imagined about Athens & Greek history. Her English was great, she was friendly and funny and the perfect tour guide. I'm sorry we didn't have time to go on their other tours. I... more

I am on a 3 year assignment in Europe for my job, so I do a lot of traveling with my family. We have done a lot of tours, and rarely do I feel the need to write a review, but the circumstances of this tour necessitated this review (and the complete difference b/w this tour and the Berlin segway... more

Of course, I was suspicious at first. How can a tour guide be #1 and Acropolis be #2 on tripadvisor? Well, Despina and Georgia turned me into a belilever. Without them the city, the monuments, the buildings, the history and the culture were silent. With their excellent, impassioned and very knowledgeable commentary, they all come to life and become a... more

I am so glad I stumbled upon Athens Walking Tours. My mother is Greek and I grew up on holidays in Greece wishing I was at the beach while instead being shown antiquities... I took the Plaka tour last weekwith Georgia. her immense knowledge and way of blending the pieces togethr with the relevant background info made it all so... more

I have been to Athens before - however our guide Vicky from Athens Walking Tour made Athens come alive for us like never before - we took the Acropolis tour -she gave us the incredible history of things we had walked by before and never really knew the backstory on -- from the guards at Syntagma Square to details at... more

The walking tour to the Acropolis was excellent. It was a pleasure to spend three hours in the company of the guide who was extremely well informed and entertaining. I thoroughly recommend the tour and would certainly book again if I go back to Athens . more
