Great experience if you're interested in political history and seeing parts of the city off the beaten track! Isaac is a great storyteller, very sharp and knowledgeable, and I enjoyed his sly sense of humour when talking about possibly sensitive political issues!

Fantastic experience with Isaac. He is a wealth of knowledge and insight, and has an incredibly valuable talent: he can communicate complex issues with nuance. 100% recommend to any visitor to Athens who is interested in starting to understand modern Greece and how it is a key player in contemporary geopolitics.

Recently, I had the privilege of joining a feminist walk and it was nothing short of enlightening. Mary was not only knowledgeable and passionate, but she masterfully wove together historical facts with present-day relevance, providing a rich tapestry of the feminist movement and its impact on the city. It was an immersive experience that transcended a mere 'walk' - it was an education, an inspiration, and a call to remember and honor the trailblazers who've paved the way for gender equality. Highly recommend this unique experience to locals and travelers alike. It's not just a tour, it's a transformative journey

I always like to learn about local LGBT+ history on my travels and I'm very glad I booked this tour with Mary. It was extremely interesting and overall a great experience! It was very insightful; Mary talked about individual activists and the broader queer movement(s) and its connection with other events up to the very recent past. It was quite emotional, too, both sobering and inspiring. Besides being an excellent, knowledgeable storyteller, Mary was obviously passionate about the topic. She was also super nice and friendly and I enjoyed talking to her a lot! She answered all my questions and even gave me a bar recommendation. I definitely recommend the experience!
