I would definitely not miss this! I booked the tour together with my two teenage sons who were actually a bit reluctant from start. When we finished and on our way back home, they told me how exiting it had been. None of us are especially knowledgeable about political science, but since Isaac is a brilliant storyteller we left with a lot more insight than we had before. He has a way of explaining and painting mental pictures for us to imagine the reality of the places we visited so that we could really grasp it. We learned about political arrangements leading to the situation as it is today. Isaac even managed to put a little bit of humour into some of the the disturbing facts he was telling us about. We went to places we would never have visited on our own and we never felt unsafe. Only fascinated, a bit sad and extremely grateful for our own life. On a day like this you can start to visit the place where democracy was born and end up a couple of blocks away where people do not have the option to vote. It is not our fault, but it feels necessary to understand it and Isaacs tour is an extremely efficient way to do this.

Highly recommend! Issac is very knowledgeable about the history of Athens and it’s a good tour if you’re looking for something off the beaten path. You’ll get a more authentic feel of Athens.

This is one of the best tours I have ever taken. Isaac skilfully manages to discuss a broad range of subjects and events relevant to the current composition of the modern Greek state. Isaac uses humour and expertise to keep you engaged and enthralled throughout. Very thoughtful and well presented. Isaac is also accommodating and personable, making this experience one to remember.

Amazing tour! Something different to the usual tours in the centre and really helps you understand the challenges facing ‘real’ Athens. Answered a lot of questions we had before the tour and helped to bring the city to life! Fascinating!

Excellent experience, Isaac is a true connoisseur of current political and social issues and has managed to transmit his knowledge while taking a walk through Athens and forming an exceptional exchange of opinions and experiences, I highly recommend it.
