Walter is a great guide- knowledgeable, professional and entertaining. He is open to input from the group so that he covers what the group is interested in. Great local tips also. 😉
An Unforgettable Winter Journey Through History with Walter The Experience I recently joined a free walking tour in Athens this December (2025), and it was easily the highlight of my trip. Despite the crisp winter air, our guide, Walter, brought a warmth and energy to the group that made the three hours fly by. If you are visiting Athens, do yourself a favor and book a slot with them immediately! Expert Knowledge & Storytelling What set Walter apart was their incredible depth of knowledge. This wasn't just a list of dates and names; it was a masterclass in storytelling. They seamlessly weave together: Ancient History: Vivid descriptions of life in the Agora and the construction of the Parthenon. Modern Insights: Fascinating context on the Eurozone crisis and how modern Athenians live today. Mythology: Captivating legends about Athena and Poseidon that made the ruins come alive. Personality & Vibe [Guide Name] is exceptionally friendly and approachable. From the moment we met at the Temple, they made everyone feel welcome, checking in on our comfort and answering every "random" question with a smile. They have a great sense of humor and a genuine passion for Greek culture that is truly infectious. Winter Perks & Local Tips Visiting in December means fewer crowds, and Walterk new exactly how to navigate the city to give us the best views without the usual tourist crush. They also went above and beyond by providing: Recommendations for the best hidden tavernas in Plaka (away from the tourist traps!). The best spots to grab a traditional hot Salepi or Greek coffee to warm up. Advice on which museums were best to visit during the quieter winter hours. Final Verdict This tour is "free" (tip-based), but the value provided was worth more than many private tours I've taken. [Guide Name] is a true professional—knowledgeable, kind, and a wonderful ambassador for the city of Athens. Pro Tip: Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket for the December breeze—but don't worry, Walter's enthusiasm will keep you more than warm!
Walter was excellent guide, I highly recommend going to this tour!
