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.

Wonderful curated tour of local Greek food. The short review is that this was very much worth the time and money. There's plenty of walking, plenty of sights seen, and plenty of good food to sample.

Great introduction to Athens off the beaten path. What an experience. It was way beyond what we expected both in variety and amount of places and great food.

Perfect way to see the acropolis. Having a guide at the acropolis is an absolute must if you want to understand the context of everything.This tour was perfect. Great pace and insights.

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!!
