Athens Walking Tours introduced its new virtual tours in an official announcement which pointed out that the global pandemic has changed our world, perhaps forever, and it seems that going back to our daily routines and plans is not yet an option for everyone.
Athens Walking Tours was founded in 2004 out of a need to offer a different approach to the ordinary city sightseeing tours. Since then, they have been welcoming visitors to Greece with innovative, and memorable tour programs and activities. Each and every single tour has been carefully designed by experts. All their guides are local, licensed, and share one common trait; they love their job and share their wealth of knowledge about Greece in a friendly and informative manner.
The company operates small group historical walking tours in Athens that include most of the major attractions, as well as culinary tours, such as the Food Tour, the Cooking Lessons, and the Wine Tasting Tours. All of them offer the visitor of Athens a unique, enriching, and all-encompassing experience of each city’s ancient and historical past together with its present, modern everyday life. They are consistently given high ratings on all travel websites and social media. Their tours have earned worldwide media recognition from CNN, the Herald Tribune, the Miami Herald, and many more major international and local news agencies and publications, as well as Greek national media such as ERT (Greek NationaI Television).
Recently, taking into account this unprecedented situation, the management decided to design brand-new services for the lockdown and the post-COVID-19 period, and also altered their regular tours in order to meet all necessary safety standards and precautions: They use masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, and follow the 2-meter safety distance rule everywhere they go. Moreover, they have created exciting virtual tours, which will be available for everyone to book and enjoy from the comfort of their own home. They have created virtual tours for history and mythology enthusiasts, but also for food lovers.
Guests will be able to interact directly with their guides, asking questions, but will also be able to converse with fellow guests from around the world. Each tour lasts for approximately 50 minutes, and there are different slots available during the day. They can also customize tours for large groups, schools, and team-building experiences for businesses, as well as special events.
As the Athens Walking Tours team notes:
“Rest assured that we will get through these challenging times. We, at Athens Walking Tours, strive every day to make you all partakers of what Greece really means to us, locals; its beauty, its history, its wonderful mythology, its gastronomy, its culture, its everlasting spirit of democracy and wisdom. Our licensed guides will take our guests on a trip to unravel our country’s mysteries. Just until we can welcome everyone here, once again, in the flesh. Till then, the internet will help us stay connected, strong, and sound.
All you have to do is stay safe!”
