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.

Extensive tour covered everything - Office was well organized and friendly. Walking started very close to the Acropolis. Tour guide was knowledgeable but could have included more historical stories. Lots of time for pictures and bathroom breaks. Great dinner, don’t worry about the time, Greeks stay up late. Average greek dinner is around 9-11PM. I would recommend taking the evening tours as the cruise ship crowds are gone by 4-5 PM. Greek nightlife starts around 9-10PM.

Centuries of History in a moonlit setting - What an amazing evening. Our guide Lisa led us through the near empty museum halls with a presentation that was both informative and accessible. The chance to see the exhibits up close in the changing light is not to be missed. Thanks Lisa for sharing your passion and your knowledge. It was a great tour.

Best tour. Book this right now - I've done my share of tours and this is by far, the best tour. Our tour guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. We were able to enjoy the Acropolis Museum with hardly anyone else there. It made the experience very personal.
Our guide gave so much great context but also kept it lighthearted. She had a great sense of humor. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Perfection - This was the best museum tour I have ever had. The museum is 3 floors, so be prepared to walk a lot. It does have escalators and elevators. You will walk away with a complete understanding of the history of the Acropolis and a great respect for the skill of ancient artists and builders. Be sure to look down. Starting at the entrance, there are glass floors that let you view the excavations beneath the building. It gives you a sense of just how large the Acropolis complex was. On the third floor, you can see the frieze, both original panels and those copied from the British Museum. Then, look out the window to see the Parthenon lit for evening viewing. It was splendid.

Great tour if you actually want to learn!! - Overall a good experience. Easy to find the meet up place. They explained the process, and was organized. I loved the fact that they provide you with an audio device so that you can hear your guide talking on the tour in a very crowded place. If you are a 1st timer, a guide is a must, otherwise you will have no idea what you are looking at. Our guide Lydia was very knowledgeable, and caring. She made sure we drank plenty of water, took bathroom breaks when possible and found shaded spot to explain things. Being a history teacher she had a wealth of knowledge although at times it was overwhelming and felt like she was going all over the place. Overall, learned a lot!!! Museum is also amazing and overwhelming after an Acropolis tour on a hot day!!!

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!
