Isaac is a great guide. He really knows this refugee issue deeply and he brings it to life in his narrative. Even though the huge groups of squatting refugees no longer exist (they are hidden inside camps) we did visit the parks, abandoned buildings and neighbourhoods where the crisis was unfolding a few years ago and one will learn about the cycle of poverty of those groups and how the Greek govt has failed to deal with the problem, even leaving some with no alternative but the sex trade.
Amazing insight into a broad sweep of Greek political and social history. So much to understand beyond the usual tourist experience. Got under the surface of modern Greek life. Isaac is incredibly knowledgeable and also very funny.

Knowledgeable and thoughtful. We were so glad to hear the first hand story of a situation we have been reading about in the USA.

I learned SO MUCH about Athens that I’d never have known otherwise! Definitely recommend.

This was a very informative walking tour which provided a ton of interesting information about the political history of Athens and Greece. I learned a lot. Isaac was also kind enough to improvise where we walked since it was pouring rain during my tour.
