I highly recommend this walking tour. I'm really glad I did it. Isaac deftly walked us through Greece's history from the Byzantine to the Ottoman, into independence, WWII, post-war, party politics, religion, neoliberalism, the student massacre, Greek society, the financial crises, immigration, and gentrification. His knack for narrating history through an educational lens and explaining very complex issues in simple terms made it easy to follow. I also appreciated his sense of humor. I wish I could do a tour like this for every city I visit.
My wife and I took the tour after 2 weeks of heavy touristing to the islands, Athens and the center of the country. After experiencing the tourist side of much of Greece, we were curious about some of the things we’ve heard from taxi drivers, waiters, hosts, etc. about Greece, so we booked the tour. Isaac really breaks down how the current political climate in Greece came to be. He walks you through some major historical and current events that shaped what you experience in the country today. If you love looking up Wikipedia while traveling, I recommend this tour. Isaac brings Wikipedia to life and offers even more insight and some political analysis. Just be prepared for a non-flashy, gritty, on the ground real world experience.
Isaac was phenomenal at providing knowledge and information in a way that was easy to understand. I learned so much about the history of Greece’s political system and why it is the way it is. He’s great at providing examples from other countries to help participants gain deeper insights about Greece’s social and political systems. I highly recommend this experience!

A really thought-inducing and out-of-the-norm experience. I really am glad to have met Isaac and get to know the history and challenges of Greek governance. Isaac is clearly very educated and engaged. He gave us a lot to think about.
