“Sympa”
There was a good atmosphere and the guide was nice and explained in a nice way. However, for me there was not enough historical content.

“Great Tour”
The Walking Tour was amazing, like every other Tour I have had. Its the perfect way to get to know a city in a short amount of time. We walked for 3 hours around Athens, got to look around at the flee market, learned a lot about atehns history and the ancient gods and godesses. We got to see all the important parts frommathens, so that we could later walk around with certainty to what we wanted to look at more closely. The tour ended at one of themany entry points of the acropolis, so that afterwards you are able the eat a little bit and then go up and enjoy the history you just learned about a bit more. Look out for the olive tree up on the acropolis ;) I can only recommend this and any other walking tour, it is the absolute best way to get to know a city.

“Comprehensive tour! ”
Really informative and comprehensive - you covered a lot of the main sites. Breaks are built in which were welcome. Focus was mainly on historical Athens, and would have been good to hear more about life in modern day Athens. The tour ran over and didn’t finish until 1330.

“Interesting, Fun Tour”
The walking tour with Stavros was great. He was very good at keeping everyone entertained and went out of his way to try and incorporate details that would apply to each individual on the tour. I also liked his humor and wit. He either really loves his job or he is a fantastic actor, as he appeared to be having fun and enjoying himself as much as us. Thanks for the fun tour, Stravros!

“Athens walking tour”
These tours are a really good way to understand a city I've not been to before and as usual the guide, Stavris, was very knowledgeable. A lot of information, not all of which I took in, but it was well tailored to the group. It was also entertaining, fun and informal which is appreciated. We ran over a little bit then a few people in the group asked a lot of questions.

I absolutely love free walking tours! Ever since I discovered them, I’ve been taking them whenever I can because they give you the chance to see the highlights of a city while truly understanding its history. This one, however, was without a doubt the best I’ve ever done. Stavros was amazing, so knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly engaging. He made sure to keep the group's attention with his charming personality and sprinkled in fun little facts that made the tour even more special. It’s a must for anyone visiting the city.
