This tour is a must do for anyone who wants to know how the countries they visit actually work (or don’t). Isaac has an incredible amount of knowledge about Greek politics and culture and is a great storyteller. I feel that if I didn’t do this tour I would visit Greece without really getting to know the inner workings of the country and it’s politics.

This was a really cool, unique experience. If you are in Athens and interested in the “behind the scenes” information, book this tour. Isaac is extremely knowledgeable on the area and the political climate. It was crazy to see the vast differences of the tourist part of Athens, vs the places they don’t want you to see/visit. In this tour you get a history lesson and it paints a picture of how Athens has changed over the years, and how gentrification will continue to change how it will look in the future. If you are interested in the deeper and darker version of this tour, he will offer the “extra spicy” version.

I had such a great experience with this tour and was delighted to have a glimpse of the contemporary greek lives and the international/domestic political circumstances of the country. Issac’s storytelling kept me interested the whole time and kindly answered to all of my curiosities. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to explore more than acropolis while being in Athens.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Isaac's Athens Social and Political Walk during my trip to this vibrant city, and I cannot recommend it enough! This unique experience provided me with a deeper understanding of the country's political culture, shedding light on the fascinating reasons behind certain aspects of Greek society that I had never known before. Isaac, was a knowledgeable and passionate guide, and led us through the streets of Athens What I appreciated most about the tour was its focus on context. Isaac skillfully connected the dots between past events and the current socio-political landscape, painting a comprehensive picture of Greece's rich history. From the birth of democracy to modern-day political challenges, Isaac's in-depth knowledge and ability to explain the complexities of Greek politics were truly impressive. Moreover, the tour allowed us to explore Athens beyond the typical tourist sites. We delved into the heart of the city, visiting significant landmarks, hidden gems, and local gathering spots. The tour itself was well-structured and paced perfectly. By the end of the walk, I felt a better sense of connection to Athens and a deeper appreciation for the country's political journey. If you're looking to gain a fresh perspective on Athens and Greece, I wholeheartedly recommend Isaac's tour.
