Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a last minute change to our schedule and booked with Athens Walks by email 2 days before. We could not have been happier with the way they handled the booking or with our tour guide and experience. We did a private early morning walking tour of the Acropolis and Agora for 7 people. Highly recommend using private tours as you get much better attention and information. They did not disappoint.

This food tour was superb, an excellent way to begin any trip!
First off, our tour guide Anabelia was knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful throughout the tour. She greeted people in the streets as we passed by through winding alleys and showed us some secrets of Athens that we would have never have discovered on our own. She taught us the names of different districts, food and gave us some historical information too. She also taught us how to to cross the street with authority, which we’re still practicing at this time.
As for the food, everything was spectacular! The best part of the food tour is the opportunity to try many more dishes then you possibly could if you weren’t travelling with a large group.
On this trip I have had the best coffee of my life. It was delicate smooth and I’ve been dreaming of it since we left the city. There’s so many souvenirs I wanted to buy as a result of this tour through the spice market to the fancy vinegars.
My advice is simple, book this tour. Prepare to eat large amounts of mouthwatering food and finally save some room in your suitcase to bring some of these spices back with you.

I booked the acropolis+museum guided tour and to be honest I was absolutely happy with the guiding. I beleive it depends on the guide mostly (in our case was Stelios -kudos!- ) and he was so knowledgeable. I've done many guided tours in several places but trust me that this one was top. He was kind with the kids in the group, and considering the extreme hot weather he had a good manage of the group. Those little things make the difference. I def book with this company again. Other than that, to get to the actual meeting point was kind of tricky at the beginning since theres a 16 number on the main road that is not the company, so just check in advance.

We were a party of 4 and had the best private tour of the Acropolis by Orestis with Athens Walks Tour Company. He started with a great tour of the museum to give us some well needed background history of the Acropolis which really brought it to life when we actually saw it in person. He was so knowledgeable, funny and helpful. He also gave us some great restaurant recommendations. We would highly recommend him.

We had a group of 12 and took a private tour of the Acropolis and Ancient Angora. Of course, the Acropolis was amazing and our guide, Mariza, made the gods memorable by using small props and stories to help us remember them. She informed us that we were the first group in 2022 to book the Ancient Angora. Most of the group felt walking in Socrates footsteps and re-visiting the story of his influence was the best part of the tour. This tour began at 10 am which is a good time to go up to the acropolis with less crowds. But if you continue onto the Ancient Angora (and you should) you'll be touring right through lunch, so bring something to eat along the way or you may be too cranky to absorb the full gravity of where you are.

Kimon (Simon) was our guide for the four hour tour. He was exceptional & extremely informative! Highly recommend (and I’d you are lucky you’ll get Kimon)! The company itself seems well managed and was easy to get to. We loved the small group we had, after seeing some of the other tour groups it made us appreciate it even more. Kimon was great about finding us shaded spots (very warm morning), while informing us of this amazing ancient spectacular. The send half of the tour, the museum, is also extremely recommended! Having a tour guide through the museum allowed us to ask questions we would have otherwise had to find answers to in our own.

We had great customer service from the Athens Walks Tour Company. They messaged us before the tour and made sure that we were made to feel welcome.
Our guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He made the tour special by being interested in his group and adjusting the pace to suit everyone’s needs.
First class!

We were fortunate to have the amazing Anabella as our guide for this tour. She was knowledgeable. Informative and patient. It was obvious that she maintains great relationships at many of the places where we sampled the food. Come hungry and pace yourself....good amount of food especially towards the end.

Wonderful private acropolis and agora walking tour with Maria. She was very helpful and attentive with my mother who had some challenges on the steep steps. The only thing that could be improved is the timing, to start tour even earlier or spend less time on the acropolis slope before going to the top so it wouldnt be so packed

We had so much fun with Annabella. So many different foods and loved that all were places frequented by locals. She pointed out many interesting places and we learned much about the culture. We felt so special at every local- she knew everyone and is obviously well respected and liked. Highly recommend!

Hello! We are interested in the Acropolis Guided Tour. 2 questions:
If we purchase our own tickets separately, do we need to exchange the e-ticket for a paper ticket, or can you take care of that?
And does the tour finish at the top of the hill, or are we mandated to finish back at your headquarters?
thank you!
Written 30 March 2022

Can you tell us the cost, start time, and if our "skip the line" tickets are included in the tour? Also, does our guide have all entry tickets, or will we be required to obtain tickets on our own either in advance or during the tour?? Thank you very much.

Hi! Wondering if you could run an afternoon tour for a group of 21 (adults and kids) of the Acropolis and Museum on Friday, 6/29? I know the heat and crowds make the mornings preferable, but we arrive from the East Coast of the US on Thursday pm and think the morning tour may be rough.
