"A very rewarding evening. Our very friendly and informative guide took us to a modern wine bar, where the staff were efficient and the owner extremely knowledgeable about Greek wine. The evening was thoroughly enjoyable as well as being instructive (and most welcome to be outside the normal tourist destinations)."

"We booked the Baklava class and our host was gracious and welcoming. This was an excellent way to cook in a home with a native Athenian. The sweets were phenomenal: more variety than we expected. Strongly recommend for a relaxing evening with or without children."

"Taking the walking and food tour with Alternative Athens was one of the highlights of a 3 day tour of Athens. It was the best introduction to the city and local neighborhoods. We had tastings of wine, cheese, meze, coffee, and chocolate in a variety of local restaurants and stores that we would not have found on our own. At each stop we were treated as VIPs. We highly recommend this tour to people who want to experience life in Athens beyond the tourist spots."
