"The tour was cozy, comfortable and well organized. Before the tour, I expected a boring driving to the temple but the highlight stop-overs selected by our local guide made this driving enjoyable. At the temple, we had plenty time to explore and admire the view before the grandeur finale, the sunset at the temple, which has become the most dazzling experience of mine."

"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."

"Our family of 4 with two boys (11 and 15) did the Myths and Mythology tour and the Acropolis Museum tour. Both were terrific -our guide was lively, entertaining, and kept the boys entertained with her stories. Breaking up the full day tour into two half days was the way to go - I think it would have been too much to cover in a day for the boys."
