I had never done a ghost walk before. My partner had. The guide was so friendly and full of knowledge. We walked and talked like old friends. People in the group we had never met before were laughing and joking and enjoying ourselves. Brilliant from beginning to end. I recommend.
We didn't have much luck...

Our Athens Ghost Tour was fun and interesting. With our knowledgeable tour guides, we visited spooky sites off the beaten path and heard tales of hauntings and other mysteries. This was definitely an experience that we could not have created on our own! Exploring notorious Athens sites after dark gave us an opportunity to see a different side of the city, and appreciate its fascinating history.

If you want to be entertained with spooky tales, this is not the tour for you. If you want to walk around Athens with a Gauss meter and camera looking for strange signals, then you're in the right place. Either way, this is absolutely extortionate for the experience on offer
Different kind of Ghost Tour

This is a perfect place for ghost tours with 2500 years of history. Sometimes the sheer timescale of the history requires a bit of research before the trip as it could be something that occured B.C. to WW2. As someone who has been on many ghost tours by now I can certainly recommend this as it is very different to aynthing else i have been on.
Fun, spooky, intriguing

This was a great tour, there was a lot of history and we got to see more of Athens and parts we hadn’t been to yet. The walk is a little strenuous/difficult for those that are disabled or elderly. My parents managed as the guide was patient and slowed his pace. There is some uphill and steep steps but overall it was worth it. We didn’t have that much “activity” or “hotspots” but using the equipment was still fun. The guide was American so my suggestion was maybe the ghost don’t speak English lol. He had a friend with him who translated our questions to Greek. Athens is really pretty at night and I’m really glad we took this tour as it was very informative. More historical than spooky but worth it for sure. We covered a lot of ground and saw things like the oldest house in Athens (which we didn’t even know about and would love to visit during opening hours our next visit) and the old prison where Socrates was actually held as the one listed on the map wasn’t his official place of detention. We saw the old Roman road and the neighborhood where Socrates would have lived. Beautiful views of the Acropolis and Hespheatus’s temple. I would recommend this tour for sure.
Definitely worthwhile tour of the Acropolis hill in the dark!

A brilliant few hours wandering Athens in the dark! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, which was great, because I learned a few stories of the history of the Acropolis hill! Hunting for spirits and energy was also an added bonus, but even if you don't find any ghosts, the walking part of this tour was well worth the time - Athens is so beautiful at night, and the dark tales added to the atmosphere. If you're a hunter, then you should definitely take this tour!
