This was one of the best experiences in Athens - really helped me understand today’s city better and not just Ancient Greece. Isaac is a great storyteller and very knowledgeable about history and politics. A must-do for anyone visiting Athens beyond the tourist activities.

Probably my favorite experience in Greece! Isaac is so knowledgeable and passionate about politics and the social constructs in Greece. I definitely left feeling like I understand the country so much more! We moved geeking out with Issac and learned so much! This was such a great complement to the traditional Ancient Greek history that is more easily accessible.

I learned so much on this tour - Isaac expertly traced modern Greek politics, economics, and social relations to the history of the colonisation of Greece and the different ruling empires (the Ottomans, the Byzantines) through the centuries. Isaac told some fascinating anecdotes and presented the complexity of each situation, and the perspectives of different groups. I really appreciated that. This was a fascinating introduction to Athens and I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in politics/economics. I had a fun and fascinating experience! I loved it.
