Create your own, personal tour

  • 1Tell us what you like and who you are

    What kind of things are you interested in seeing or doing? Are your interests related to archaeology, to museums, to art, to food, to contemporary culture, to the local way of life? If you’re part of a group, do you have kids with you, or seniors? Are you here with friends, or just one special person?

  • 2Tell us how much time you’d like to spend exploring, and what you’re thinking of spending.

    Do you have a few hours, a day, more than that? Do you want to tour just Athens, or would you like to see other places, too? What’s your budget?

  • 3We’ll get started creating a customized itinerary for you.

    We love to get creative, we know the city inside out, and we can put together a schedule unlike any other tour company in Athens. Within 48 hours, we’ll send you the personalized itinerary we’ve come up with, taking into account all the information you gave us.

    Apart from what’s on the itinerary, we’ll be glad to let you know about the best local eateries, popular new bars, cafés or other places or sights that might go with your interests. The more you know about our city, the better time you’ll have here in Athens.

Testimonials

"Heleni was simply wonderful with the kids. The perfect guide. Knowledgeable, interesting, patient and fun!"

Greg

"Amazing Tour! It exceeded my expectations. Our guide Demetra was wonderful and had an amazing knowledge of history, archaeology and culture; she did a great job highlighting things of importance and interest, while not bogging us down with too much detail. Our tour included a number of cultural stops (wine tasting, icon painting, Greek lesson, tanner and bellmaker visits, stops for local sweets and food, etc.) and every stop added to the richness of our trip. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Alternative Athens and Demetra!!"

"Lena and Kristos were fantastic. They fed us lots of food and drinks. The best part, however, was the discussions we had with them. Whenever I travel, I always try to schedule a meal with a local family, or a cooking lesson, and I've never been disappointed. You'll learn so much about the culture! We spent almost four hours in their home and left with a new understanding of the Greek psyche."
