Traveler reviews
The Acropolis is just perfect!!
What a fantastic tour. Our Guide Marizoe was just starting out in her career but she knew and shared so much knowledge about the Acropolis. There is much more to see than the Pantheon! Over four hours she brought to life the site and surrounding area and some key information at the Museum. The individual headsets were very much needed and appreciated. We did the morning tour and so glad we did as it was very hot and extremely busy. Wear good trainers or shoes as the marble floor is slippy.
John is a fantastic tour guide
We had a great tour with John at the acropolis and museum! He was very thorough and knowledgeable and he took great photos for all of the tour guests. Thank you John for your time and knowledge. You made our Athens trip great with this tour! Highly recommend!
10/10 Tour
For the fee, this was absolutely worth the price. All in all did about 4 hours worth of touring and my guide was phenomenal all way through. He was an immense resource of personal knowledge speaking about how he ran the Marathon from Marathon Proper to his experience as a teacher. Overall I cannot rate the time we had highly enough.
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!
