David_S, Jun 2026

One of the best food tours ever

Adele was amazing - friendly, professional and gave great information about Athens. You definitely get your money’s worth with food and the tour. Make sure you leave plenty of room for all of the stops! We did this with our family of 4 including two teens. Highly recommend on your first full day in Athens as a great introduction to Greek food and the city.

Amy_F, Jun 2026

Delightful half-day trip!

This was a delightful half day trip from Athens that included transportation, historical information from our friendly guide, beautiful stops and lots of information along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed the brief swim stop and were well aware that the food and entrance to the temple were not included. But so worth it! It was fun to meet other travelers on the 12 passenger Mercedes van as a bonus!

Excellent tour - highlight of our trip!

This tour ended being one of my favorite parts of our trip. Our guide was wonderful, and I felt like we had just enough time at all the stops for pictures and taking it all in. The museum was very interesting as well, and there’s a lovely cafe you can stop at after the tour with an amazing view.

Worth every penny - HIGHLY recommend!!!

Lydia was awesome! She was very knowledgeable, informative and incredibly passionate which enhances the experience. The first 1/2 to 2/3 part of the tour was inside the museum (~1600-1845) and the final portion up at the Parthenon. It was FABULOUS! The experience is so rich in history and so close to the artifacts it’s a MUST do. Lydia delivered on her “best picture without other tourists and scaffolding” (which is what all the hundreds of tourists were seeking 😆). The timing of the tour is well planned; we were in the museum first and atop the Parthenon for the end, with a lovely evening view (& sun). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Amazing Athens half day experience!

We had the 6 hour private tour and Demy and Takis were truly wonderful! We saw everything we could see in that short time including stops for photos, guard changing ritual and visit to Acropolis along with lots of historical info from Demy. Takis was a very safe driver and took us around like a true local. I highly recommend booking a tour with them!

Fun day on the water around Athens

Overall fun day and good excursion. A few thoughts * water is very salty. Do not expect to really snorkel and see anything. * at the 2 Islands we landed, good swimming areas in walking distance from docked boat. * at island we're we anchored, swimming somewhat treacherous. Everyone who stayed in water.more than 5 minutes had a tubes to hold on to. * Lunch was really good and plenty of food. Beer and wine flowed freely. * only downfall was getting good from hotel to and from trip. Think about 1 hour travel with their arranged pickup. Lots of traffic. Athens. Think of it as a tour of the city.

Fantastic service and tours!

Fantastic service and tours. Athens Walks team was organized and efficient with check-in, and I appreciated the headsets we had so that we didn't have to strain to hear and the guides were also correspondingly protected from having to yell. Afroditi was my guide and she was fantastic, very knowledgeable and well-spoken. I ended up adding on the museum tour, which I highly recommend.

Amazing!

Our tour was perfect, the right amount of time. We did the 4:00. PM tour, not as crowded. Our guide was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable, she made the history informative but not boring, great connection with each individual. I wish I could remember her name, it began with an F. I humble apologize, for that. She needs to be recognized for her outstanding tour

Great way to see the city...

Great way to see the city with friends! This was one of the few tours that included entrance costs to things and it was a selling point for us. They handled all the logistics and the small group made it still feel very welcoming and relaxed. Would def recommend!

Pat_M, Jun 2026

A lot of history in a short period

The guide was very personable, knowledgeable, and provided an overall narrative that left me knowing a lot more about Athens than I did before the excursion. The value was good as well in the absent the Acropolis Museum, which was optional, the fee included all entrance fees and lunch. I was part of a separate excursion the next day to Corinth and none of that was included in the price.
