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 enjoyed our Acropolis tour with Maria and our food tasting tour with Fotis very much. Highly recommend this tour to get a close-up view of the history and background of the Acropolis area and Athens, and enjoy some delicious food as well. Excellent in every way!

Our guide, Fotis, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and charming and ran the tour efficiently. It was interesting to see the different areas as we walked and to taste the food. We saw a different side of Athens and I heartily recommend this tour.

Tinatin was an excellent guide for this private exploration of the Acropolis and the Agora. She was so knowledgeable and could answer every question our group of 7 asked her, she was fun, and was dedicated to our education and enjoyment during the tour. Bravo! The check in was smooth and professional, thanks to the staff for making this so easy.

Giannis was wonderful on the city walk and Acropolis tour. Very well educated and informative. Highly recommend him. I wish we would have also booked the Acropolis museum with him.

Natasha was our guide for the Acropolis tour and Muesum tour - she was fantastic! Her knowledge really enhanced the experience. I definitely recommend taking the time to do the museum in addition to the Acropolis, it's beautifully done.
Kaitlyn | Apr 24 | Acropolis of Athens & the Acropolis Museum
Highly recommended especially to try and miss the crowds. By the time we came down at about 9.30am it was already very busy (and this is April apparently before “the season” has started). Tina our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly and informative and we got a good overview of the Acropolis and Parthenon and history.
Veronica | Apr 24 | First Access Acropolis Tour
Adele was an amazing tour guide. We got a great Greek history and culture lesson along with the excellent food.
William Schwab | Mar 24 | Athens Food Tour
Excellent tour, our guide Sissy made the experience interesting and related to current everyday life. She made what I thought would be a difficult walk up to the Acropolis very manageable with plenty of stops to share her knowledge of the Acropolis and Greek culture . Highly recommend!
Missy | Apr 24 | Acropolis of Athens Tour
Our family had two great private tours - one of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum and a city walking tour the next day. Both guides were very informative and enjoyable. Would definitely use Athens Walking Tours again.

Stella, our guide, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. This tour is a must-try for all tourists!
Joseph Malcontento | Mar 24 | Athens Food Tour
It was a great way to start off our first day in Greece. Stella was an amazing instructor - encouraging and patient. I was amazed how we were able to make 7 unique and authentic dishes, yet still had plenty of time enjoy our meal with an amazing night-time view of the Acropolis. Two thumbs up!
