"It’s not only ancient sites that are interesting to see in Athens! Our terrific and fun guide took us through the neighborhoods that are the social and political heart of contemporary Athens. Well worth it and highly recommended!"

"We took a cooking class with Korina and had a great time. She did a wonderful job working with all of us, including my kids (ages 3, 5, and 8). She was great at involving them in the cooking. After spending a lot of time in the city of Athens it was nice to get out into the suburbs and get a glimpse into what life is like there."

"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."
