Athens Free Tour by Walkative!

Took this free tour to fight off jet lag after arriving in Athens. Was an excellent tour to orient you to the area around the Acropolis. Our guide was very knowledgeable, walked at a good pace, and provided recommendations for other sites to see in the area.

Fun and Educational

Enjoyed our tour with Petros. Was well paced with enough breaks in between. Quite interesting with lots of fun facts and audience engagement. Great recommendations that we tried out afterwards.
