We recently traveled to Athens as a family of six and took a walking tour with Despina Savvidou / Athens Walking Tours. The tour lasted four hours and the conditions were sunny and hot. Our children range in age from 12 to 21. She involved all of them which made the experience more interesting for all of us. She also... more

I was excited to walk Athens, but unfortunately the 3.5 hour tour didn’t live up to my expectations. We started the tour in the Syntagma Metro station spending over an hour reviewing the excavation wall and the splendor of the engineering and ruins uncovered. Next hour we spent outside the station briefed on the history of Greece and the immediate... more

We booked this on-line before arriving to Athens from NZ. Our tour guide was Vicki. There were about 8 of us on this particular walk. This was including me, my husband and 15 year old daughter. We had a fantastic time. The information that Vicki gave us was just great. She was so enthused about the whole tour herself and... more

After reading the previous review i was actually shocked! Me,my son, my daughter and a friend of ours took the tour on the 25th of July with Georgia as our guide and we found it great! Georgia was very knowledgeable and it was actually like talking a walk around Athens with a good friend. She was so kind, nice ,very... more

After reading the reviews on tripadvisor, I was excited to book the walking tour of Athens. A group of about 12 of us all joined this tour and had high hopes. We met at the subway station as described and were introduced to our guide, a local woman with personal knowledge of the city. Unfortunately, we found the tour nothing... more

We booked a private tour with Athens Walking Tours and it was absolutely well worth it! Our guide, Despina spoke a good English and touring with her was like walking with a friend. The pace was perfect, not too slow or too fast and seemed that everytime we took a break, and believe me, she just knows where, there were... more

In March 2008, I took a trip to Athens and it was fantastic from start to finish. Part of what made the trip so amazing was my decision to book a tour with Athens Walking Tours. I sent an e-mail and it was immediately replied to by Despina, the company owner. My initial trip was so amazing that I decided... more

I called Athens walking tour at 10pm the night before a 9am tour, and was able to reserve a spot (the flyer said a 24 hr reservation was needed, so naturally I was delighted). The rest of the group did not show up, so me and my boyfriend ended up having a private tour of the Acropolis with Georgia who... more

We would recommend this to anyone. The walking is not too much. We did a combination of two tours (about 4 hours). Our guide (Georgina -does everyone in Athens have George in their name?) was wonderful. If there was any small complaint it was that she gave us an almost overwhelming amount of information.
