Testimonials

"Our guide was excellent, very kind, informative and tailored our tour to the ages and experience of our group. It was a long tour, with a break for lunch, which was at the right time in the tour. He also made the museum tour interactive with truth and dare, which was fun for the teens. I highly recommend Alternative Athens. If we had more time, we would have booked additional tours with this company."

"A different approach of Athens. Nikos was a great guide, the areas we visited are non touristic and that is mostly (with the street art) appreciated. I was alone but mixed to a very nice US family."

"Great tour. Recommended at the beginning of your vacation because you get a lot of information about the city, tips where are the best places to visit etc..."
