Wonderful tour!

We had a wonderful experience with Margarita Kitsikoudi as our tour guide. She was highly knowledgeable, very personable, and funny. She clearly knows her stuff and made the tour an absolute delight. I would highly recommend that tour with Margarita anytime!

Operator response

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted that Margarita’s knowledge, warmth, and sense of humour made the tour such a delight. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. Thank you for recommending her so highly, and we hope to welcome you back to Athens for another Athens Walks experience!

The Acropolis is just perfect!!

What a fantastic tour. Our Guide Marizoe was just starting out in her career but she knew and shared so much knowledge about the Acropolis. There is much more to see than the Pantheon! Over four hours she brought to life the site and surrounding area and some key information at the Museum. The individual headsets were very much needed and appreciated. We did the morning tour and so glad we did as it was very hot and extremely busy. Wear good trainers or shoes as the marble floor is slippy.

10/10 Tour

For the fee, this was absolutely worth the price. All in all did about 4 hours worth of touring and my guide was phenomenal all way through. He was an immense resource of personal knowledge speaking about how he ran the Marathon from Marathon Proper to his experience as a teacher. Overall I cannot rate the time we had highly enough.

Look no further and ask for Dorina

I go on a walking tour in every city or archeological/cultural site I visit and our guide Dorina with Athens Walks was by far and away the best ever. Her knowledge and delivery were pitch perfect and she really looked after everyone in our group. One of our group wears hearing aids and Dorina checked in on her throughout and ensured she was always able to hear. The content was fascinating and I would not hesitate to do another tour with lovely Dorina. We did the Acropolis and Acropolis museum. If you're really into archeology and greek myth do both, if not just do the Acropolis.

Absolutely dreadful customer service!

First of all, the people at the Athens walls office are incredibly rude! Incredibly unhelpful and not at all sympathetic! After booking the expensive walking tour, we were issued one ticket each to the museum and the acropolis. After going through security with the museum ticket, one of them had been misplaced. I understand that it was our fault having lost the ticket but Athens walks made NO effort to make our tour complete and enjoyable! It soured my entire day and I wouldn’t recommend ANYONE book with this dreadful company! Find another company to book with!

Great tour if you actually want to learn!!

Overall a good experience. Easy to find the meet up place. They explained the process, and was organized. I loved the fact that they provide you with an audio device so that you can hear your guide talking on the tour in a very crowded place. If you are a 1st timer, a guide is a must, otherwise you will have no idea what you are looking at. Our guide Lydia was very knowledgeable, and caring. She made sure we drank plenty of water, took bathroom breaks when possible and found shaded spot to explain things. Being a history teacher she had a wealth of knowledge although at times it was overwhelming and felt like she was going all over the place. Overall, learned a lot!!! Museum is also amazing and overwhelming after an Acropolis tour on a hot day!!!

Extensive tour covered everything

Office was well organized and friendly. Walking started very close to the Acropolis. Tour guide was knowledgeable but could have included more historical stories. Lots of time for pictures and bathroom breaks. Great dinner, don’t worry about the time, Greeks stay up late. Average greek dinner is around 9-11PM. I would recommend taking the evening tours as the cruise ship crowds are gone by 4-5 PM. Greek nightlife starts around 9-10PM.
