I found Athens Walking tour randomly but saw its high ratings on Trip Advisor so I booked three tours with them.. and it was great. Despina and I exchanged a few emails which she suggested various tours based on some information I outlined to her. She was extermely responsive and we were able to get 5% off each tour for... More

We took the walking tour of Athens and Acropolis with Despina. She was marvelous, providing fascinating background detail to all of the sites we viewed. The time flew by, even for our 14 year old who said this was the best tour she had ever been on. We highly recommend this tour to get the most out of the amazing... More

Despina was fabulous! I would highly recommend this food tour. We ate, laughed and shopped for wonderful honey, balsamic vinegar, olives & lots of other delicious food items. The food tastings were more than enough and Despina was interesting and informative. I really learned a lot about the Greek culture from Despina. I felt like I experienced a special part... More

I'm so glad I did the food tour. Not only did I get to sample some amazing food, but to learn about the history of the food, the influence from Turkey, Armenia, India etc was really interesting. We started out at a street vendor to try a type of bread stick (almost like a pretzel) that a lot of Greeks... More

This is a wonderful way to get to know the most interesting parts of Athens. My guide was wonderful and even though she was sick that day, she was incredible. I strongly suggest to pay a little more and add the New Acropolis Museum to the walking tour. Most greek museums don't have an audio guide so it will be... More

Marvelous experience with the divine Despina. I couldn't have been more pleased! The pace was perfect, the variety to shops we visited allowed a real taste of Greece. Loved the spice shop especially! Don't go home without doing this one! More

Our tour guide James was very knowledgable about things in and around Athens. He also knew a lot about the history of other countries and cultures. A great experience and way to learn about Ancient Athens. More

We recently took the Acropolis tour...and it was fantastic. We've taken tours in many countries and this was the best tour in all of our travels. Zoe, our guide, was incredible. I can't say enough good things about the tour. After taking the Acropolis tour, I wish we had booked the Museum tour too (which continued after the visit to... More

We booked the Acropolis and the Museum tours and our guide was Maria. She was knowledgeable, interesting and we could understand her quite well. Being a trained archaeologist she was able to give us detailed information about the sites we visited. We even got to meet the heroic dog which participated in the recent demonstrations. The tours are very doable... More

We booked the Acropolis, City Tour and Acropolis Museum Tour as we wanted to get an orientation of the city and a better understanding of the history. Our guide was Maria Synodinou and we were fortunate that we were in a small group of 10. Maria was excellent and her background in archaeology allowed a multitude of questions to be... More
