Greece · ATHENS GUIDED WALKING TOURS
The good athens guided walking tours fill up first, especially in July and August. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ.
Licensed guide, whisper headsets, and top Acropolis monuments including the Parthenon and Athena Nike, in about 2 hours.
“The guide was absolutely amazing! She included everyone in the group and was very interesting to listen to.”
Walk Athens by foot for 3.5 hours with 12 tastings at Monastiraki, markets, Psyrri, plus Greek coffee, wine, and loukoumades.
“Adele did a wonderful job curating our afternoon. We got to see parts of the city we otherwise wouldn’t have and learned a lot about Greek food culture along the way.”
Taste Athens by foot on a 4-hour Varvakios Agora food tour with pastries, mezze, wine, and souvlaki, led by an English guide.
“Adele was superb in feeding us the authentic Greek food we were filled up happily”
Walk the Acropolis highlights, from Theatre of Dionysus to the Parthenon, with optional Acropolis Museum, skip-the-line tickets, and small groups.
“Great tour guide!! We happened to catch a beautiful day as well. Really fun half day tour. Highly recommended!”
See the Acropolis and Parthenon in 2 hours with a licensed guide, earsets, and optional skip-the-line tickets at UNESCO Athens.
“A great and educational group tour, with experienced tour leader. Highly recommended! (We did not include the museum as we did not have the time.)”
Early-access Acropolis tour with a licensed guide, wireless audio, and Plaka old-town walking, including top sights and historic baths.
“Our guide was excellent even though he said it was his second time doing the Akropolis tour. He was energetic and his enthusiasm for history was infectious. Thank you for a great tour!”
Small-group Athens food walk with 15 tastings, menu help, markets, olive oil, cured meats, coffee, and classic sweets in 3.5 hours.
“This tour was absolutely perfect! We loved the small group format. The tour guide was great at keeping a pace that worked for everyone in the group. The food was absolutely amazing at every stop. Frankly, we were a bit surprised about that given the reasonable price of this tour. All of the places we stopped were ready for us and very friendly. Highly recommend this tour, and if we’re ever in Athens again, we would be happy to repeat this experience.”
A 4-hour Athens food walking tour with 15 authentic tastings, wine and dessert, plus a guided walk through the Athens Central Market.
“A great variety of food samples and was totally stuffed by the end. Loved that there was also special beverages”
Taste classic Athens food on a 3-hour market and tavern walk, with mezes, wine or beer, and sweet loukoumades or baklava.
“Katerina was an amazing guide. Professional, enthousiastic, knowledgeable and she has a great sense of humor! We did a private tour which really added to the experience. Lovely stops, food and drinks. Thank you Katarina!”
1.5-hour evening Acropolis walk with a French guide, express security, Parthenon views, plus key temples and theaters.
“Super visite, j’ai adoré les explications et les anecdotes historiques de notre guide Myrto. Nous y sommes allés en fin de journée, nous avons eu la chance de voir défiler les soldats venus décrocher le drapeau (ils font ça tous les matins et soirs apparemment) et. cerise sur le gâteau, nous avons pu admirer le magnifique coucher de soleil depuis l’Acropole. Belle expérience.”
Walk Athens to the Changing of the Guards, then head to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum for guided context and great views.
“Overall, very good. However, the first portion of the tour was mediocre, at best, which was a "tour" through the subway station with a rapid fire narrative with an assortment of random facts without context or story, followed by a walk through a park with similar disjointed narrative. The tour of the Acropolis and museum was excellent with an engaging guide. Suggest only the Acropolis and museum tour.”
Athens after dark tastes like real Greece, with stop-by-stop snacks, a meze dinner, and local guide-led walking from Athinas 7.
“We really enjoyed this tour. Our host Caterina was very knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. The food we ate was amazing. This was our first day in Athens and it was the perfect way to start to explore the city while trying traditional dishes. We highly recommend this tour.”
Walk from Syntagma Station Museum to the Parthenon summit, with Parliament ceremonies, Acropolis viewpoints, and a smart, paced route.
“I really enjoyed the myths that Athena told and how well she could describe the significance of the monuments. She was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable, and a great person overall. Highly recommend taking a tour from her.”
A 1.5-hour German guided walk up Athens’ Acropolis, with key monuments, theatre, hospital ruins, and a top-of-hill 360 view.
Taste Athens like locals on a 3.5-hour small group walk with 8 to 10 food samples, Greek coffee, markets, and meze.
“Such a fun tour! Excellent mix of delicious food, history lesson, and seeing the city.”
Pick the kind of day first. Each list sorts the rest.
