A super informative tour, talks about things that you would learn from a local friend rather than from a glossy brochure. Gives a good overview of politics and economical aspects of modern Greece and an insight into why some things are the way they are. Isaac (the guide) is highly knowledgeable and good at storytelling, mixing up 'heavier' information with fun facts and interesting details. You walk the streets of Athens while learning some 'theory' in an entertaining way and observing people going about their daily lives (Isaac helps you to notice various details that you probably wouldn't notice if you were just passing by on your own as a non-local). He also encourages the participants to ask questions, so the tour is quite interactive. The tour is especially great for those of us on the geekier side.

This was a really wonderful tour! My husband and I are both politics nerds but we ended up learning a lot about Greek politics and modern history. Isaac is genuinely one of the best tour guides, his knowledge is incredible and he the tour is well paced. This was a really great unique experience and really enriched our stay in Athens. If you’re also a politics or history fan, I’d recommend. Even if you’re not, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the tour. The tour itself is not difficult even though there is a bit of walking and Isaac is very conscientious as a tour guide (ie it was quite hot but Isaac made sure we were standing or sitting in the shade when he was explaining anything). Anyway, I hope you book this tour. It was great.

This was such an insightful tour. Anyone who is interested in understanding the modern Greece should join this tour! Society and politics are complicated topics but Isaac managed to bring all the storylines together in such a way that it was easy to follow and learned a lot.

Isaac was exceptional; he not only guided us through the dual aspects of Athens, providing a much clearer and realistic view of the city, but also, with his tireless energy, clear explanations, and engaging manner, addressed all of our questions.
