Could not have found a better experience to take immediately after the touristy Agora and other areas of Athens. Reading about the migrant crisis and politics in Greece is one thing but having such an informative guide to shed light on heavy topics via personal stories and nuanced opinions really brought out the reality of modern Athens. Isaac was a great host who was able to answer questions insightfully and with context to the guests backgrounds, all while keeping the pace moving well.

Isaac does an amazing job of explaining the very complicated political and social history of Greece. I learned so much. He is thorough, thoughtful and imaginative in his telling. He uses landmarks well as a backdrop to the various stories. I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome tour to obtain the context about Greece politics. Issac offers an easy-to-understand history explanation, which is necessary to understand current conflicts. If you miss this lecture, you might miss one big aspect of Athens, far different from the ancient glory of this city.

Cool. I couldn't understand why there were so many messages in the wall said, "Burn airbnb," and know I can see what happened. If you visit Athens to see its glorious history, you also need this activity to obtain a balanced perspective of understanding this city. I also recommend Issac's another activity about Greece politics and its history in order to obtain a deeper understanding and context for nowadays problems.

Probably was to be the highlight of our experience in Athens- or at least an integral part of our trip. I went with my partner on this tour, and there was a great group of people. This was our first full day in Athens. We went to the Acropolis and Plaka area in the morning which was beautiful but obviously full of tourists. Then we went to this tour and saw another view of Athens. No city is perfect and the tour highlighted the reality of a lot of people living in the city and how it got to that point. It was illuminating, and you can tell that Isaac has a deep knowledge and passion for his subject. It’s not a pretty tour and he never claims it to be, but if you want to have a unique perspective and experience book it. It was thought provoking, I went with my partner. We went to dinner afterwards and talked through the night about everything we learned and our perspectives on it. Hope to do his other tours next time I am in the city.
