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.
Safety is important to us. We take all necessary measures to follow health protocols. The summer of 2020 was completely Covid-free for all our tours, our staff and our guests! For summer 2021, Athens Walking Tours is determined to put health and safety first. We take careful actions to ensure a safer touring environment for all. Every Athens Walking Tour guide acts in accordance with the World Tourism authorities to protect the health and safety of themselves, the guests and the wider communities in which they live.
The following guidelines outline our practices, to prioritize health and safety as we all begin to travel again:
⋅
Face masks, social distancing, and hand sanitizers are required health protocols for all of our tours.
⋅
We offer FREE cancellation to all our tours, if you cannot travel due to Covid-19 or need to reschedule.
⋅
We expanded our private tours range with special discounts for families.
Just as importantly, we have created virtual tours for you and your loved ones, in case your travel plans are postponed for next summer.
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.

Come with an empty stomach. This tour is awesome all thanks to Georgia who brought her bubbly and energized spirit the whole time. Georgia did it not even stop to catch a breath, walking and explaining Greek culture and way of life, from breakfast, lunch, dinner to how to drink and enjoy ouzo and tsipouro

Great guided tour around the Acropolis! This is without a doubt a must do while in Athens. The tour was filled with intersting facts about ancient greek history, perfectly explained by our amazing tour guide Dorina. I highly recomend it if you want to really enjoy visiting the Acropolis and understanding what those ancient stones trully mean.

Great private visit to Acropolis ...Given that we would probably have spent the day sitting an an airport hotel otherwise, I'm very glad that I reached out to Athens Walking Tours, as we were able to see such an amazing site and do it with a knowledgeable guide and a good plan that kept us out of the heat.

5 star cooking class! We enjoyed a 7 course cooking class, dinner and wine with our chef-host Sophia Faloutsou. She was informative, entertaining, and encouraging throughout our 4 hour time with her.

Stories and history of the Acropolis ...She had many stories and a lot of knowledge about the Acropolis and the different significant sites leading up to it. She was friendly and concerned for everyone's safety, and was happy to answer any and all questions.

Highlight of our time in Athens! - this tour was the highlight of our time in Athens. We enjoyed getting to go off the beaten path to see where regular Athenians like to hang out and Sophia gave us a good sense of day-to-day life. The neighborhoods we visited were vibrant and fascinating.

Perfect tour in every way! This was a perfect tour! Our enthusiastic guide, Sissy, knew all about the archaeology and history! She connected Greek mythology with our modern time, and helped us appreciate our shared humanity.
Jhclarkie | July 21 | Acropolis, City Tour & Acropolis Museum
Accommodating, interesting, and fun! ...The difference between doing this site without a guide and with a guide is completely different. Well worth the money. Understood so much more than I would without a guide.

Morning Walking Food Tour This is an amazing company. In fact, company is not the right word. They are family right from the start. Alexandra took care of me from the moment I made my first reservation. Due to covid and all the new restrictions, things were up in the air a bit but she was right there making sure I didn’t miss a thing. ...I’m so thankful I booked with Athens Walking Tours. I look forward to my Acropolis tour tomorrow!!

Premium experience for a premium tour! I had a wonderful time going on this tour with Despina. She has a certain verve and passion when explaining and discussing the historical elements from the sights that made you feel that you have travelled back in time and made the experience feel alive, while at the same time dispelling some of the beliefs I've had for a long time about the Acropolis! There was enough information without it feeling like a boring history lesson, and I appreciated the balance.
