I have been going to Athens for years and know the city relatively well but on my last visit and for the first time ever I put myself on a conducted walk and I must say it was a great success. I booked through the very pleasant Despina Savvidou of the Athens Walking Tours – you will find details at... More

We loved our tour of Athens with this group. Started on time at a convenient location., the metro station, which itself houses a horde of history! Our guide, Aristotle, was extremely knowledgable and gave us interesting and deep insights into Greek history. Without this tour we certainly would have missed out on the real Athens. The pace was comfortable for... More

Athens Walking tours is the best way to see the Acropolis and the surrounding areas. It was a perfect balance of walking and rest so dont feel intimidated of hiking up the hill. Our guides were very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. They stopped many times at locations that were great for taking photos. This is the only way... More

We booked two separate tours: Athens Acropolis City Tour & Acropolis Museum Tour, Athens food tour. They were the perfect complement. Despina gave historically accurate and personal explanations of the main highlights of Athens' ancient ruins in a small enough group to allow questions and personal attention. The food tour gives you a completely different view and sense of Athens... More

We did this walking tour in the last day of our trip and it was the nicest thing that we did in Athens! The guide was wonderful and spoke fluent English. She showed a deep knowledge of both ancient and modern history and told us things that, otherwise, we would never know about Greece. Besides, it's fun walking in the... More

We planned a last-minute family trip to Greece and based on tripadvisor reviews contacted Athens Walking tours. From our initial email contact, Despina was very responsible and helpful. She discouraged us from booking private tours because her tours are small and personalized and she said they would be fine for the kids (and she was correct). She also gave us... More

My husband & I signed up to do a combo tour (Acropolis + City Tour + Acropolis Museum) for our first full day in Athens. Based on prior travel, we knew that getting a good overview walking tour is an excellent for orientation purposes...familiarizing yourself with locations of sites/directions and figuring out where you may want to spend more time....

It was one of the most exciting experiences! Our tour guide Mrs Despina Savvidou provided us with a very interesting and informative but yet very relaxing tour! This tour gave us an inside knowledge of the Museum and Greek History that we wouldn't have if we were to visit the Museum by ourselves. I totaly recomment it to everyone interested... More
