This tour closed out our time in Athens with the perfect mix of food, culture and history. - This tour was the history of Greece through its food and culture. Absolutely amazing tour guide (Simos Trasanis) who brought it all to life for us as we wandered through parts of Athens we would never have seen otherwise. The foods at each of the stops were amazing and the stories made the whole experience unforgettable. I would do it again next time I'm in Athens and would recommend for anyone!!

Inciteful tour of Athens neighborhoods and tasty delights. - My wife and I spent 5 hours with Simos, from Alternative Athen, enjoying the sights, smells and tastes of a dynamic Athens. We visited 5 different neighborhoods, sampled great food, and were treated to encyclopedic knowledge about the capital of Greece. It was a terrific experience, well worth the price we paid for the tour. Simos was personable, as well as knowledgeable, and made Athens come alive for us. It was a high point in our Athens stay.

The perfect Athens experience - We are two couples from United States. We booked this private tour at the last minute and are thrilled that we did. It was an exceptional experience and well worth the money. Our tour guide Simos was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable and also self-aware. He let us direct the pace and he allowed us to explore our interest based on his recommendations. It was an all-around fabulous day with great food and great company. We would definitely book this again.
