Athens Walking Tours

We booked this walking tour at the last minute for the 11:30 am slot on February 2nd, 2026. The tour was led by our guide, Giota. She is knowledgeable, skilled, and humorous. She explains history in a clear and engaging way. The walk is long, so be prepared. There are uneven surfaces along the route. Comfortable shoes are a must. We were lucky, sunny but not hot. The only issue was the meeting point. It was hard to find the group. The address covered a large shopping area with a triangular layout. Apart from this, the experience was excellent. We truly enjoyed the walking tour. We learned a great deal about the Acropolis and Athens.

Our guide Andrea was awesome and very knowledgeable. The walk up the Acropolis was challenging, but Andrea stopped at just the right times along the way to provide history and point out interesting things about the Acropolis (as well as to provide a moment of rest). We very much enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.

The sights are obviously amazing but our tour would not have been so wonderful without our tour guide Deppy. She was wonderful, knowledgeable, kind, patient and you could really tell she loves her city and her job. I would highly recommend this tour and especially trying to get her to be your guide. Thank you for a great day

We were very lucky to have Deppy as our tour guide for the Acropolis and Parthenon. She was incredibly kind and very knowledgeable about Athenian history. We learned so much and really enjoyed our time at this historical site. Highly recommend :)

Our tour guide was fantastic. She shared more than just history, but pop culture and nuances that I would have missed just visiting on my own. It was worth the cost to get first entry into the Acropolis too. By the time we were leaving around 9:15 am the Acropolis had hundreds if not thousands of people swarming the entrance. We were there with less than 10 people and it was peaceful and cool.

We were just in Athens on their their national holiday and joined this walking tour of the Acropolis with the guide, Antonis. He was super informative, fun and interesting. We had the best time and the sunset tour at the end of the day was incredible. What a great experience and worth the price! #AthensWalkingTours

Seeing the Acropolis is an absolute must with a guide! Philippia was an absolute gem and SO knowledgeable....we started at the South end which is ideal as it's less crowded than the North end where most tours start. The views are spectacular from every vantage point. She shared factual information & stories without boring us with TOO much detail. The tour ended at the Parthenon and we explored a little more on our own afterwards. Tips - use their link to buy the timed entry tickets as it will save you money (they'll send you a payment confirmation and have the timed tickets for entry when you arrive at the meeting point). Our tour started at 10:30 which was perfect as it started getting very crowded as our tour was ending.

Lots of options in Athens for tours of the Acropolis. I went with Athens Walking Tours for the Acropolis and the museum and I highly recommend them. Our guide, Vicky, was brilliant. The tour was in English but she speaks lots of other languages too. She was very passionate, fun and knowledgeable. The advice received before the tour was helpful (where to meet, bring water, go to the toilet at the meeting point beforehand etc). You can get a coffee next to the meeting point and I do recommend doing an early tour as it gets quite busy! Even though we weren’t a big group, the headphones were really helpful because it is of course a popular place! The museum is great but if you really don’t have much time then you could skip it and do it separately next time. Enjoy!
