"Street art and graffiti seem to be everywhere in the Greek capital. Taking the form of firewall murals; colorful creations on smaller walls, gates, and dumpsters; and even tiny tags by notorious sprayers, much of the newer work makes direct reference to the Greek economic crisis.Though the works aretechnically illegal, they'rerarely removed.Wander the neighborhoods of Exarchia and Metaxourgeioto see high concentrations ofoften inspiring and surprisingly beautiful images."

We had an exceptional tour, guided by Leonidas (Leo). We walked through the different neighbourhoods of Athens, hearing wonderful stories and getting a better understanding of the city and it's people. I highly recommend Alternative Athens, specially Leo, as a guide! This is not another regular touristic tour, it's a fuller experience.

We had a lovely time on the Greek mythology tour. Our tour guide, Antonia, was an archaeologist who spent half the year doing tours and the other half doing archeological research. She was friendly and very knowledgeable in both the history of Athens and the mythology that guided the building of many structures. We walked from the temple of Zeus, to the acropolis and then the ancient agora filling a four hour tour. I would say the walk is relatively easy and accessible for families as well. We would recommend the tour!

Alternative Athens is an exceptional tour operator. Antonia our guide was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. The tour was at a steady pace with enough time for all of us to take photos and investigate different sites. The information shared gave insight to the sites, the people and the different events. This tour is superb!

We enjoyed the Athens food tour with Maria-Katerina. She is intelligent, personable, knowledgeable and responsive to her guests needs. She also works closely with the food vendors to make sure the food is well prepared and ready at each stop. Her local knowledge and experience is excellent and she will give you lots of tips on additional places to visit that weren't covered on the tour. We're really happy to have booked with this group and to have her as our guide.

This tour was without a doubt the best tour I have done. The staff at Alternative Athens have assisted me in every way possible from booking the tour to meet up point, reminders etc. The tour guide was exceptional. She was so knowledgeable and kept the tour so interesting and interactive. I cannot thank them enough for the fabulous tour. I highly recommend this company. I have been on many tours in different counties and this was the best one by a country mile!

Mythological Magic with Elena! This mythological tour with Alternative Athens was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Elena, was simply incredible. Her English was flawless and her knowledge of Greek mythology was impressive. She brought the ancient stories to life in a way that was both informative and entertaining. Elena's enthusiasm was contagious, and she made everyone in the group feel welcome and engaged. She was happy to answer any questions and shared additional insights and anecdotes that made the tour even more enjoyable. Overall, this tour was a highlight of our trip to Athens. If you're interested in Greek mythology, this is a must-do! Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a fantastic, super interesting and well paced tour of 6 Athens neighborhoods - a bonus was that our tour ended up being private with a tour by Andreas! We came to Athens for the history but we found this more modern, cultural oriented tour to be one of the best experiences of our visit! We watched the changing of the guards (Evzones) in from of the main government building (old royal palace), walked through posh Kolonaki under Lykavittos Hill, edgy Exharhia with its street art, through meat, fish and fuit/veggie markets neat Omonia, and through lanes filled with restaurants, cafes, shops and a flea market in Psyrri and Monastiraki, leading into more ancient ruins in the area. Another bonus was a follow up email with more info and photos, current and historical. I highly recommend this tour: Unexpected Athens Orientation Tour!
