Testimonials

"We had a blast with Andreas! He was incredibly friendly, insightful, outgoing, and answered our tons of questions that came up about what life is like in Athens today. He truly made you feel like a friend."

"LOVED the comic book workshop! Our hosts were so incredibly engaging and we had so much fun. The cellar we did the workshop in was the coziest and most enchanting little library. Brick and stone walls with black bookshelves filled with comics set the scene for a truly pleasant two-hour adventure into Grecian mythology."

"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."
