"We had a great 2 hours with our tour guide, Tonia. She was very informative about the Olympic History in Greece and put us through our paces in the javelin throw, discus, long jump and shot put. We then made our way to the Olympic Stadium where we learned more about it's history and was able to run a lap. Highly recommend this tour for an out of the ordinary experience."

"A great way to get under the skin of the city! Loved our street tour with Nikos -he's passionate and knowledgeable about the art but is also full of insight into Athens and her culture. Can't think of many tours that would engage our teenagers for three hours. Would definitely do another Alternative Athens tour with or without the family."
