Great tour to explore the real Athens!

Lovely walking tour with great guide. We met at the office of AW at 8:30 and we started the exploration of the city and some hidden parts. Highlights was the Ancient Agora and the Cathedral of the city. This combination of Hittorf better the Ancient Athens and the Christian modern city leaves you with a great taste of the city history. When in Athens do not skip this tour.

A must walking tour to see what Athens offers - Amazing guide

If you’re planning to explore Athens, the Athens Highlights Walking Touris an absolute must—and having Dimos as your guide will make it unforgettable! Dimos is hands down the best guide I’ve ever had. His passion for Athens and its history is contagious, and his storytelling brings the city to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. He masterfully blends ancient history with modern-day Athens, making every stop along the tour both fascinating and engaging. What sets Dimos apart is his ability to tailor the experience to the group, answering questions with a wealth of knowledge and a warm, friendly demeanor. He takes you beyond the well-trodden tourist spots, uncovering hidden gems and sharing insights that make you feel like a local. From strolling through charming neighborhoods to discovering breathtaking views of the Acropolis from lesser-known angles, every moment of the tour was captivating. Dimos’s enthusiasm and expertise made this walking tour not just a highlight of my trip to Athens but one of the best guided experiences I’ve ever had. Highly, highly recommended—this tour (and Dimos!) deserves all the stars!
