solid two hours of walking and a decent amount of hills. be prepared and wear good shoes and go to the bathroom before you meet the guide as there are no easily accessible restrooms on the route.

The 2 hour walking tour took us through many interesting parts of the city at a good pace. We then had dinner with our group and were offered choices of appetizers, salads and our main dishes. It was more than plenty of food. Drinks were our own responsibility and were very reasonably priced. Our tour guide was wonderful - Dinai (sp?). She told stories about history, customs, and chatted with the group. At the end of the evening she planned a walking route away from the restaurant that ensured everyone got on their way in the right direction. Would recommend the tour.

Danais was an amazing tour guide and I’m so glad we had a chance to get to know Athens better with her. This was a highlight of our trip and I strongly recommend it. It is probably the first thing that I would have done had I to do it over again.

Debbie was an awesome guide. She shared personal stories along with a vast amount of knowledge of the island. She was engaging and welcomed questions. Be sure to ask about her mother's opinion of the various islands. Involves a good bit of walking, so wear comfy shoes. We saw and heard about interesting Greek history. Viewing the changing of the guards was amazing. It's a must see. Come hungry - you get A LOT of food at the tavern.
