We booked this tour through our travel agent, and had an AMAZING experience! Dimos K. was our guide. As a native Athenian with a Master's degree in History, he was knowledgeable, personable, and had a lovely sense of humor. In addition to the information he shared, he also knew the perfect angles for stunning photography, the hidden walkways of Anafiotika, and introduced us to our first freddo cuppacinos! Dimos is a gem, and he set the pace for a fantastic holiday!
Excellent tour and tour guide

Alexia was friendly, interesting and knowledgeable… not to mention a great photographer! Alexia made sure to stop and talk in shaded areas and that we stayed well hydrated in the heat. 10 out of 10!

Maria was a pleasant and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much about Greek history, archeology and mythology, as well as the birth of democracy. My only criticism would be that I was expecting the tour to be a little more food-focused than it ended up being. We only had souvlaki and bougatsa, which were both delicious, but expected more food related stops as part of this tour.

Maria was FABULOUS as our guide. She met us at our hotel and catered our walking tour to what we wished to see! We saw the highlights around town and loved the Acropolis. She was very knowledgeable about the history and taught us a lot. We loved sitting outside at the quaint coffee shop, and tasting some authentic greek foods in the square. Highly recommend this tour with Maria as your guide.
Amazing Tour Guides, Great Value and Experience.

What an amazing tour! Our tour guides - Stella for the acropolis and Sophia for the food tour - were so nice and very knowledgeable. We highly reccomend Athens Walking Tours, especially is you don’t have too much time in Athens. Stella taught us so much about Greek history and the Acropolis. Sophia took us to amazing markets, restaurants and a family owned dilstillery with great liqueurs. 5 stars!!

Dorian Theodora was wonderful! She was so incredibly knowledgeable about the Acropolis and related Greek Mythology. The day continued through Plaka, where Dorina told us so much about the Greek neighborhoods and current Greek life. The food was authentic and truly delicious. We accidentally ran into her the next day at the Acropolis Museum, where she again could not have been friendlier and more helpful. We recommend her 1000%. Couldn’t be happier!

It was a very informative and relaxing tour. Our tour guide was very much accommodating to what food, shops, and stops we wanted to make during our time together. Definitely worth the time and money to have a local show us Acropolis.
