Private Tour: Alternative Athens City Walk

Andreas is a top guide. Balanced and passionate about his country’s checkered history. Take this tour if you have time

Mariza, our foody guide was exceptional. Alternative Athens food tour is the one we used.

We did the walking tour with Andreas. We enjoyed it very much. Andreas is very knowledgeable in the history of Athens and Greece. He set a very nice pace. Added bonus was a nice little stop at a local coffee shop for some fabulous coffee. We would recommend this tour!

We had the most fantastic tour around the neighbourhoods of Athens. Our guide, Andreas, was so knowledgeable and super friendly. We learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We love Athens!

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Elena Daskalopoulou, in Athens! She took us through many different neighborhoods, giving us a great feel for the city beyond the typical tourist sights. Elena was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the history, culture, and character of each neighborhood. She was also warm, kind, and patient, and happily answered all of our questions along the way. Her passion for Athens really came through and made the tour both informative and enjoyable. We learned so much and came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city. We would highly recommend Elena to anyone visiting Athens!

Delightful orientation neighbourhood tour Athens with Elena. Perfect pace and personable guide. Would highly recommend.

This was great to do on our first full day in Greece. Learned a lot about the history, past and current culture and modern day Greece. Andreas was an awesome tour guide. Highly recommend.

We had a great time walking the city with Niko and learning about the neighborhoods of Athens. He was courteous, knowledgeable and thoughtful about navigating through the heat (which was formidable). Thank you, Alternative Athens and Niko!

Experiencing Athens with Andreas was an amazing experience! He was so knowledgeable about each part of Athens, connecting the past with the present. Saw so many Incredible places that we would have not seen on our own. Would highly reccomend this tour and we plan on doing another tour with this company the next time we are in Athens!

My wife and I spent a few days in Athens earlier this week. Besides visiting the breathtaking Akropolis, we signed up for the Food Tour. Simos, our tour guide who has a very deep archeological background was the perfect guide. He embedded the variety of typical food with 3000 years of history to better understand the many influences that define typical dishes in the country. He led us to unique places that we would have never discovered and shared interesting stories. We can only recommend him and his organization if your objective is to discover Athens off the beaten paths. Bon Appetite! Simos - please let us know when your food tour through the harbor of Piraeus is ready.
