Hi, I am Despina, co-owner of the Athens Walking Tours and a licensed guide for as long as I can remember.
My team of knowledgeable guides and myself put in our expertise, passion, and love for the city. We offer some of the best tours in Athens, from exploring places such as the Acropolis to roaming our city streets in search of the best Greek food.
With over four decades of experience, we can guarantee to offer you the best small group tours historical or culinary, or to create a custom private tour according to your needs and preferences.
We love what we do and that is why even within 2020 and 2021, the fierce pandemic years, we managed to actually raise our review rate by an impressive 396% and rate 9th amongst the top 20 tour operators in Europe based on review growth, according to Arival.
We plan ahead, we perform on time, and above all, we care.
We are the top-rated Athens-based tour company on TripAdvisor, and we live up to that reputation by offering walking tours that are unique, entertaining and insightful.
We do our best to keep our tour groups small and flexible, providing conveniences for our customers.
At Athens Walking Tours our aim is to make sure you will have a fun and worry-free experience from start to finish.
Join this unique, worry free and all-inclusive tour, to combine an extended guided visit to the most important landmark of Athens, the Acropolis, with a guided visit to Plaka, Athens picturesque old town, and its most beautiful and unknown to many Athens visitors, part of Athens, the Anafiotika area. A food tasting during the tour of some typical Greek foods at the lively area around Monastiraki square will round-up the experience.
