Our guide, Andreas, was knowledgeable, and articulate. The tour was amazing and he led us to places in Athens I would have never known or found. Even if I had, I would not have known or appreciated the history of each neighborhood. He answered all questions from travelers from the US, Canada, Germany, and Australia. He was terrific and the tour is not to be missed!
My tour with *Alternative Athens* was an absolute highlight of my trip — far beyond what I expected from a city tour. Our guide, **Andreas**, was exceptional: full of fascinating stories rooted in Greek mythology, local lore, and everyday Athenian life. He didn’t just show us the city; he revealed its soul. Andreas led us through places I never would have discovered on my own — from bustling markets full of life (the meat and fish markets were unforgettable!) to a tucked-away café in one of Athens’ hippest districts. Each stop came alive through his storytelling, as he seamlessly connected modern Athens with its ancient past. What I appreciated most was how he wove historical references into the city’s present reality, helping us understand how Athenians live, think, and celebrate today. I came away feeling like I’d learned as much about Athenian *culture* as I did about the city itself. If you want to see the real Athens — unexpected, vibrant, and full of depth — I can’t recommend **Alternative Athens** and recommend it highly enough
Amazing time with Elena shopping… too amazing at the jewelry store! The place she showed us had great prices. So nice to see Greek designers and items. You will enjoy this experience. (Bring your credit card… prices are good)
Locals know all the best places to eat and this tour provides you with that knowledge and many delicious treats. Pavlina was a excellent guide who explained to us the fascinating history that entwines food and Greek culture through the ages in one great tour. We had a really fun day. We explored parts of Athens we would have not found ourselves and and ate a good variety of yummy Greek food. Thank you Pavlina we will highly recommend the tour to our friends.
