Best way to experience Athens is doing a tour with these guys. Walter is an experienced archeologist who knows EVERYTHING about the city and that will give you a fantastic overview of the main sites! WALTER: this planet needs more people like you, follow your dream and let the world know about Greek history! You are great!

Walter is a fantastic, entertaining and knowledgeable guide! We’ve done quite a few of these tours across Europe, and they’ve all been great but Walter is by far the most interested in the classical history of Athens. He’s a treasure trove of historic facts and very up-to-date analysis and interpretations of new findings. Plus he’s got lots of recommendations for food and what else to do while in Athens. Thanks Walter!

Great tour. Walter was incredibly knowledgeable and a lovely guy. Answered every question and was very patient to us with our baby. Highly recommend.

Still waiting for the tourist guide. They cancelled the tour at the exact time of the tour. Thanks guys I visit Athens every 20 years, so don’t worry. Now the company says we were late. But as my colleague reviewed we were not late. The company is not saying the truth. The thing is that I have pictures that prove it. This picture has the time stamped and the time we were in place can be checked. New Athens Tour, you are improving your credibility

An amazing tour! Our guide Walter was probably the best tour guide I ever experienced - with a degree in Classics, he can give You a lot of information! We can only recommend this tour.

Walter is so full of interesting knowledge about Athens and related history. The tour was excellent. Highly recommend. And bring your questions. Walter knows so much as he is not only trained in the Classics but also in archeology.

After 1.5 years living in Athens I finally went on a free tour and couldn't have picked better. Walt kept the tour interesting and the time passed very quickly. He gave the right amount of information, without being too overwhelming. I definitely recommend it and I will probably do it again next year :)

As a fellow tour guide I was very impressed with Walter's knowledge. He lead an excellent, interactive walking tour focusing on the ancient ruins of Athens. The brightest thing you can do is to join this informative & fun tour as soon as you arrive in the city. Goes with my highest recommendations!

Highly recommend experience! Best just after you arrive. Walter is an amazing tour guide, apart from historical knowledge, he gave some good insights of the culture, life in ancient and modern Greece, travel tips. I loved that there were no taboo topics for him 😌

Great tour provided by Walter. He was able to answer every question the group asked him about the history of Athens. Highly recommended.

We met Walter at Monastiraki square and said goodbye to him at the foot of the Acropolis after almost 3 hours, as if only a few minutes had passed. Walter is very knowledgeable, pleasant and knows how to captivate his audience. If it weren't for the hot and humid weather, we could have continued to listen to him for hours. Thank you!

Walter is super interesting and nice guy. He takes all the time to explain anything you want to know. Thank you!

This was a fantastic tour of the city! Walter was so kind and knowledgeable. He showed us so many things we would have never seen on our own. He also gave us some really helpful advice for the rest of our trip in Greece. I really recommend this tour to anyone.

Love the walking tour by Walter. I was so impressed with his knowledge and first hand experience as an archeologist. What a great way to start your visit to Athens.

Our guide Walter is super knowledgeable and willing to share the details and fun stories as he took us on a walk exploring the major archaeological sites as well as local spots in Athens. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this tour.

We really lucked out picking this tour! Our tour guide, Walter, was outstanding. Having a former archeologist lead our tour added incredible value. He was excellent and we'll remember this tour forever.

Had a tour with Walter and was very happy with how engaging and knowledgeable he was. He was super flexible about the route as well given the extreme heat and had some excellent recommendations for food/drinks. Definitely worth a couple hours to learn about the city’s history!

We are currently standing in the square and have been waiting for the last 20 minutes and no one has showed up for the tour. Now we have missed our chance to do a walking tour!

Can't think of a better tour in Athens! Fun, Entertaining & Educational! Be respectful and tip the guide, it's how they get paid.

We had a wonderful tour with great guide (Wolter). We took the historical tour. Highly recommend

Geat tour from Walter was about 3 hours with a lot of information! Service is tip based, great tour I recommend it 100%!

I've reserved a place for the tour one week in advance. After arriving to the meeting spot 10 minutes earlier,as required, and waiting for half an hour with no one coming up, I receive the message that the tour had been cancelled. I found it really irresponsible. If you want a free Tour from Athens, there are plenty of other ones that are a lot better.

Fantastic tour w Walter, who is an educated scholar in Greek-Roman history. He is full of stories. He even kept my 10 and 13 year olds interested for 3 hours. It was quite amazing. We learned a valuable history lesson. Definitely do this tour the first thing you arrive in Athens. We went to visit Acropolis without a guide before this tour, it was very boring for the kids to stay interested for the visit. You can take a guide at the gate of the Acropolis, they charge an insane amount. It is better to do the English tour w Walter and you have an idea before going to see the Acropolis or any other ruins in detail. He has a tour at 10:30 everyday departing from the square near the flea market. Don’t forget to tip him well at the end of the tour. That’s the way the free tour guides can actually survive. I was shocked some cheap tourists literally did a free tour without giving any gratuity. You can save anywhere, but don’t save on a great guide who is passionate about sharing his knowledge.

Had a great time with English George! It was the one of the very first things to do when we arrived in Athens which was incredibly helpful. Efficient way to see many of the main sites, get the lay of the land, and get a locals take on the history/economics etc. of Greece. Awesome recommendations, super informative and entertaining. Thanks George!

Stavros made our trip with his knowledge! He was theatric in his storytelling and truly passionate about the history of Greece. He geared his stories to what we were interested in, where we were from, etc. He was professional, kind, and overall great human. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and hope he knows how talented he is. Keep doing what you’re doing, because it was awesome. 👏

I highly recommend taking the free walking tour in Athens with the amazing guide, Stavros. His knowledge and passion for the city truly make the experience exceptional. Not only does he provide insightful historical information that you wouldn't easily find in a book, but he also adds a personal touch with captivating anecdotes and hidden gems of Athens. Stavros' enthusiasm for sharing the city's rich history and culture is truly infectious, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that you have an informative and enjoyable tour. From the lesser-known stories of ancient landmarks to the best local spots for delicious Greek cuisine, Stavros offers a comprehensive and immersive Athens experience. If you want to explore Athens with an exceptional guide who brings the city to life, Stavros and the free walking tour are a must-try. You'll leave with a deeper appreciation for Athens and its fascinating history.

Phenomenal tour with Stavros ! We had over 3 hours of information, fun facts, good sense of humour and knowledge. It’s one of the best walking tours I have done. Amazing experience, wonderful personality, highly recommended ! Thank you Stavros 🙏

Stavros was our guide and he made the 3 hour tour very enjoyable. He knows a lot about Athens history and communicates in a very agile and professional way. I recommend strongly NEW ATHENS TOURS

Walter was an excellent guide! He was able to share a lot of illuminating anecdotes about the sites based on his experiences working at archeological sites in Greece. He also shed light on current issues/debates happening in Greece. I highly recommend this tour.

Great experience exploring Athens with our guide Walter! Extremely attentive and knowledgeable guy. Made sure to find shaded spots for us to sit and listen, even gave break for water and ice cream. Would definitely recommend to anyone new to Athens!

Fantastic tour! Walter was our guide for a 3-hour walk covering the top spots of Classic Athens. He knows his history, is fond of answering every question and really ENJOYS his job. Top-class guide, no doubt. Also, the info you'll get does not overlap with the one provided on other tours (Acropolis Museum, eg), so you won't get to hear the same stories again and again. Totally recommended!

We had an amazing experience today! It was by far the best experience with a guide who knows absolutely everything about this city and Greek and Roman history. Walter is a very well read guy who can walk you through the ancient history (not only the one who has been written) and the modern history! Keep up with the extremely good job, Walter! You deserve more than 5 stars!

Having spent the last couple of weeks in Italy and now in Greece we have been joining a lot of tours to understand more about the area instead of trying to find out the best places to see and things to do. Todays tour with Walter was the best one so far! Informative about the historical facts as well as thoughts based on his past professional life gave us so much more than we expected. Getting a recommendation to a little restaurant 5 minutes way away from the main tourist area was fantastic and something we would have never found by ourselves. Thanks Walter. You made the day.

We had a great experience on this tour! Excellent guide, Walter. Highly recommend!

Awesome tour to get to know Athens and the Greek history and current state. Thanks a lot and highly recommend to anyone visiting the beautiful city :)

Wow! What an amazing tour! Our guide Walter was extremely (like EXTREMELY) knowledgeable about the historical sights and a great general insight into the history of Athens and Greece, covering the Greeks, Romans and right up to more modern history. We could easily have listened to him all day! Thanks for a fab experience!

Since we have traveled quite a bit over the last months (Roadtrip through 24 countries), I can say with a clear conscious that this was the best tour we ever did. Walter holds a Masters degree in Greek and Roman History and processes a sheer unbelievable amount of historical facts and a lot of knowledge. He showed us some ancient cites that we would have never visited without this tour. It was super interesting to also hear a bit about the slaves and women in those ancient times. He also talked a a bit about the history of American archeology in Athens. All in all a very informative and interesting tour! After 3,5 hours of pure joy he let us off with a perfect restaurant recommendation. Thank you so much Walter! We gained more knowledge from you than from the Agora and Akropolis museums combined! He was also super open to answer questions and talk about modern days societal problems.

Awesome walking tour with British George. Usually meant to go for 2.5 hours but he spent over 3 which was more than fine with us as he had lots of interesting sites to see and stories to tell. We got the "R" rated version (which I definitely recommend if there's no kids on the tour) of Athens history which was not only informative but very humorous and engaging! He also informed us of the best restaurants to eat at, attractions/museum prices and best times to visit, as well as how to get to the port/airport/beaches. Thanks for a great morning George!!!

This is an amazing historical tour that'll teach you a bunch of fun facts and stories about the history of Athens and Greece. Our guide Stavros was humorous and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Had an awesome tour with Walter today! He is so knowledgeable about Athens history, and gave us the context we needed to really understand what we were looking at. (And his food recommendations were spot-on)

Our guide, Walter, was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He was an absolute delight! The pace of the walk was relaxing and easy, even as we had some steep climbs for a quick minute. I'd highly recommend taking the tour - I'm glad to say I learned quite a lot in a short time!

Walter is such a great guide, with soooo many interesting and useful stories, very educated and funny guy. Completely another perspective of Greek history, put in contemporary perspective, amazing!

Took the tour with Walter this morning. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and professional. This is a great tour and he is the ideal guide!

Walter was fantasssstic 😍😍😍 Great details, superb sense of humor, super nice and friendly.

Arguably the best free tour I've been on in 10+ years of travel! Walter is so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Greek history, and yet at the same time so humble and approachable in the way he tells his stories. Could not recommend this more, stop reading these dumb reviews and book NOW!!

An interesting and funny historical tour in the heart of Athens! Stavros the guide is superb - knowledgeable and humorous, with native English. The walking tour is easy paced, and accompanied by facts, stories, legends, jokes and more. We enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended!

The tour started promptly at 10am. Our tour guide Walter is a trained archaeologist, native Greek and very knowledgeable about the history of Athena. He also gave good suggestions about the best restaurants, coffee shops and souvenir stores. And since he is a local, he knew so much about the city center. We finished just around 1pm. I would recommend doing this tour.

Great tour with Walter!

Walter was really good. We enjoyed our tour.
