“A Tour with Passion”

This was the best walking tour of many we have been on around the world. Despina handled the logistics flawlessly and Georgia, the guide, was tremendous! Her knowledge of the different sights, areas, and antiquities of Athens was unsurpassed. Her background in Greek history with a touch of social responsibility, was refreshing. She not only is a guide, she also... more

We enjoyed this 3hr walk very much as it took us through the Plaka District, a must-do in Athens. Recommended. Perhaps a little too much time spent in Syntagma Sq museum where it was hard to hear commentary due to trains. Bring your camera and comfortable walking shoes. more

After reading all the great reviews, we were totally disappointed . We wasted 30 minutes in a train station so that Despina could show us the changing of the guard which we could have seen on our own. The balance of the tour was walking to the acropolis with virtually nothing to see onroute, and a boring talk at acropolis.... more

Dear guests, The Athens walking tours has been rated #1 attraction on this site because all our guides are licensed, experienced, carefully selected for their education but mostly for their love and passion for their work. On the other hand, the criteria designing the programs of our tours are based: a) on the long experience of our guides (e.g. Despina...

I went on the walking tour of Athens expecting great things after reading the reviews on here... BOY WAS I WRONG!!! The tour is 3 hours long for a start, which i wouldn't of minded if i would have seen any major attractions in that time, but basically it takes 3 hours to walk from Syntagma Station to the Acropolis... more

On our "tour of the Acropolis" the guide spent TWO HOURS walking from the subway station to the acropolis, and only 1 hour talking about the site once we FINALLY got there. Half of the people in our group thought we were on the wrong tour... but no, that was the only "tour of the Acropolis" offered. The guide kept... more

The tour was good but the guide was way too detailed in his discussions. The price was higher than walking tours we have taken in other cities. It would not have been bad if we did not have to purchase our own ticket to the Acropolis. We have been on many walking tours in Buenos Aires, Paris, London, and Rome... more

I missed my walking group hook up, so walked on my own from Monastiraki Metro Square (which I thought was the correct Syntagma station). It was a miracle. When I got to the bottom of the Acropolis, I noticed a tour group that maybe wasn't my exact guide but was from Athen's Walking Tour. They quickly found my guide -... more

Despina Savvidou was a wonderful guide! We four hired her to give us a private tour and she was wonderful. I highly recommend her. She talked to us about modern Greece and the major ancient sites of Athens. We started in the Syntagma station, walked through the park and surroundings, and ended in the Acropolis of Athens and nearby areas.... more
