Testimonials

"The whole family agreed- it was the best day we spent in Athens! We loved taking this family day trip to Delphi with our knowledgeable guide and kind driver. Not only were we able to learn about the history of the Delphi site, but also about the smaller towns in the area. Meeting craftspeople in the village really made this tour special. This tour is very well organized to avoid the crowds at the archaeological site, and includes a yummy lunch. If your travel plans include the time to spend a day outside of Athens, I highly recommend taking this tour with Alternative Athens."

"This tour was outstanding! Our guide, Andreas, showed us a variety of bars that we would never have found on our own. He was very open to any kinds of questions and made the tour interesting and informative at the same time. I would definitely recommend taking this tour and discovering the nightlife of Athens. The city and people have an incredible and positive energy that is very unique and worth seeing."

"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."
