Traveler reviews
Look no further and ask for Dorina
I go on a walking tour in every city or archeological/cultural site I visit and our guide Dorina with Athens Walks was by far and away the best ever. Her knowledge and delivery were pitch perfect and she really looked after everyone in our group. One of our group wears hearing aids and Dorina checked in on her throughout and ensured she was always able to hear. The content was fascinating and I would not hesitate to do another tour with lovely Dorina. We did the Acropolis and Acropolis museum. If you're really into archeology and greek myth do both, if not just do the Acropolis.
Absolutely dreadful customer service!
First of all, the people at the Athens walls office are incredibly rude! Incredibly unhelpful and not at all sympathetic! After booking the expensive walking tour, we were issued one ticket each to the museum and the acropolis. After going through security with the museum ticket, one of them had been misplaced. I understand that it was our fault having lost the ticket but Athens walks made NO effort to make our tour complete and enjoyable! It soured my entire day and I wouldn’t recommend ANYONE book with this dreadful company! Find another company to book with!
Great tour if you actually want to learn!!
Overall a good experience. Easy to find the meet up place. They explained the process, and was organized. I loved the fact that they provide you with an audio device so that you can hear your guide talking on the tour in a very crowded place. If you are a 1st timer, a guide is a must, otherwise you will have no idea what you are looking at. Our guide Lydia was very knowledgeable, and caring. She made sure we drank plenty of water, took bathroom breaks when possible and found shaded spot to explain things. Being a history teacher she had a wealth of knowledge although at times it was overwhelming and felt like she was going all over the place. Overall, learned a lot!!! Museum is also amazing and overwhelming after an Acropolis tour on a hot day!!!
Excellent experience
Wonderfull experience. The guide was great and the Acropolis was amazing. We learned a lot of history in the museum.
Extensive tour covered everything
Office was well organized and friendly. Walking started very close to the Acropolis. Tour guide was knowledgeable but could have included more historical stories. Lots of time for pictures and bathroom breaks. Great dinner, don’t worry about the time, Greeks stay up late. Average greek dinner is around 9-11PM. I would recommend taking the evening tours as the cruise ship crowds are gone by 4-5 PM. Greek nightlife starts around 9-10PM.
