"Awesome tour- small group, great guide! Our family loved this tour - just long enough and interesting stories of mythology of all the sites. Tour guide was great and it was a small group so felt intimate. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"One of the best highlights of my trip! My guide was amazing, she showed me all of the Ancient Olympic workouts, and had me try each one. We then went to the Olympic Stadium, where I ran around the field. At the end she gave me a card with all of my times for each event. This was a great tour, and I highly recommend for any Olympic Fan, or individuals looking for a unique tour experience in Athens."
