What are people saying about Athens

Premium Delphi Day Trip with an Expert Guide, Museum & Lunch

Adelle_B, Oct 2026

Awesome excursion!

Educational, lots of good information, adequate time for lunch and bathroom breaks, with enough free time to roam around independently. Anastasia was great! The driver Nick was also very skilled in driving around narrow streets and rough weather. Highly recommended!

Acropolis monuments & Parthenon Walking Tour with Optional Acropolis Museum

Ryan_W, Oct 2026

Excellent guided tour of the Acropolis

Our guide to the Acropolis and Acropolis museum, Selina, made the trip so enjoyable. She is professional, highly knowledgeable on the history of the place and very personable. She took time to answer any and all questions, and continually made sure the group was able to sit/find shade when possible. I HIGHLY recommend booking the tour of the Acropolis and Museum with Athens Walks. If you’re lucky enough to be guided by Selina, your trip to this truly magical site and museum will be truly enhanced because of her hard work! 1000/5 stars!

The best of the best in Athens!

What a wonderful way to see Athens! Andy picked us up and expertly navigated us around the city to all the historical sites giving us historical information between each stop so that we could fully appreciate what we were seeing. He had water and snacks and even took pictures of us. As we finished each location he was always waiting for us with a smile and an open door. I highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend if you're able

Great tour! Very thorough and informative. Lots of walking and standing, but I loved it. Ioannes was very good at keeping us engaged and entertained the whole 4 hours, which is not easy! Not a tour for those with mobility challenges or low stamina. It's long, hot, and you're on your feet most of the time.

Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens

Tom_T, Oct 2026

Savour the flavour of Athens

The App warned us not to eat anything for at least 3hrs before the tour, if anything it should have been eat nothing on the day, we had so much food we took the gyro from the last stop away as takeaway and had it for dinner in our hotel. Our guide Dimi was just wonderful, exactly the right personality to conduct the tour. Highly recommended.

Great Vibes, Great Guide & a Lovely Experience

What a lovely experience! We had a great group of people from different countries and cultures, and the atmosphere was fantastic — really good vibes throughout. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and well informed, but also had a great sense of humour. She was friendly, well spoken and very approachable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We were also given plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the surroundings without feeling rushed. I even suggested a group photo, which was taken and later shared with everyone in the group — a lovely memory from the day.

A delicious way to experience Athens

We had a fantastic time on this food tour! Our guide was fun, knowledgeable, and engaging. She took us to parts of Athens we hadn’t explored before and introduced us to delicious foods we probably would have otherwise missed. It was such a fun way to experience the city!

Athens All Included: Acropolis and Museum Guided Tour with Ticket

Audrey_H, Oct 2026

Easy to moderate pace to Acropolis!

Visiting from the US and chose this tour for our family. I am always concerned when booking and paying ahead of the tour, but we were very happy with the tour of the Acropolis and museum. Our tour guide, Frozzo (but you can call her Frozen 🤣), was knowledgeable and delivered the information perfectly. We ascended the site at and easy to moderate pace. My brother in law, who is at a slower pace, was able to ascend with little problems. The crowd of people gave him time to stop and recover a little before moving forward. While viewing the amazing site, she told us the history and the importance of what we were touring. She was able to get us all past the unusually long line of people and into the museum. The museum is absolutely fascinating and she added information that was easy to understand and appreciate. You won’t be disappointed in this tour. Wear durable and comfortable walking shoes or athletic shoes. Check the weather for how to dress. Our day was overcast, cool and windy, which I willl take over hot and sunny!

This was a really...

This was a really relaxing trip. We went swimming twice during the cruise. Once on Agistri and the second time anchored off of Moni. The crew was great and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was great and there was all the beer and wine you could drink. We enjoyed lounging on the front of the boat.

Historical Delphi One Day Tour with Arachova Stop & Expert Guide

Andrew_D, Sep 2026

Excellent value for money.

We did an all inclusive trip to Delphi. Absolutely brilliant day. Our guide was Katharina, who I can only describe as excellent, with a wealth of knowledge on Greek Mythology as well as having as sense of humour! Everything was so well organized, and she was so clear on her instructions, meeting times etc. Our driver Evan, was excellent encountering some challenging maneuvers during the journey!. Its a pity more people don't appreciate the guide and driver on their way leaving the bus..
