# Athens Walking Tours: Agent-Direct Score D (47.1%)

Site: http://www.athenswalkingtours.gr/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/athenswalkingtours.gr
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Athens Walking Tours is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Athens Walking Tours's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://athenswalkingtours.gr/historical/just-the-acropolis-tour-19.html (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 2108847269
- Address: 112 Syngrou ave, 11741, ATHENS
- Prices: 9 prices on the site, the middle one €49.00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Athens Walking Tours that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (TouristAttraction, Museum, TravelAgency or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +306945859662, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 2108847269. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **9 prices on the landing page, the middle one €49.00.** In Athens, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €179.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

## Named by ChatGPT and Gemini for "A walking tour on Sunday morning with tickets online" and "A private guide for half a day with the family, how do I book one?" in Athens tours, attractions and museums, October 2026
- "A walking tour on Sunday morning with tickets online." (2026-10-18): ChatGPT with a link to this site; Gemini by name, without a link. https://directindex.org/city/athens-tours/recommended/walking-tour
- "A private guide for half a day with the family, how do I book one?" (2026-10-18): Gemini with a link to this site. https://directindex.org/city/athens-tours/recommended/private-guide
Named by 2 of 2 assistants asked. Badge: https://directindex.org/badge/named/athenswalkingtours.gr.svg
Why (2026-11-02): Gemini sent people to athenswalks.com and athens-walks.com because the site blocks Google-Extended and other AI crawlers in its robots.txt and lacks structured data, causing the assistant to confuse the business with a competitor.
