This tour was truly excellent. It’s a great way to get a feel for modern Greek politics and society. Isaac is very knowledgeable not only about Greece but global economics and politics. He was able to contrast Greece to Latin-American, Caribbean. North American and Western economies and political structures to help explain the nuances of Greek society. Highly recommend this tour if you want to dig below the surface of the tourist sites and get to learn about this beautiful and complex country a bit more.

The "Athens Social and Political Walk" hosted by Isaac is a fantastic tour. If you're interested in politics and you want to gain a deeper understanding of Greece (beyond of the standard touristic spots), I can definitely recommend Isaac's tour. He will explain to you: - the nation-building of the modern Greek state - the financial crisis in Greece since 2008 and its impact on the rise of populism and radical political groups - the history of the anarchic neighborhood "Exarcheia" and how it is jeopardize by gentrification and a very suppressive use of "Law and Order" by current Greek policy Isaac is an easy-going, interesting and very knowledgeable guide. I appreciated his sophisticated views on current Greece while also giving an international context. As mentioned above: I can absolutely recommend this tour.

I loved the tour honestly, as a person with adhd 2 hours full of info could be very intimidating but not here! It felt like 5 minutes. Very thoughtful, great storytelling, absolute entertaining- I wish more tours would be this way, you can really feel that Isaac is a person passionate about his field and always on top of the current news!!!! Thanks Isaac I hopefully will be back to any of your tours!
