Athens Social and Political Walk

This tour was excellent – it was easy to follow, incredibly interesting, and provided sufficient context to understand the city and country beyond the ancient ruins and delightful food. Isaac is exceptionally knowledgeable and courageous for offering a sociopolitical tour that critically examines the environment while remaining respectful. I wish we could find tours like his in every city we visit. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting the city and seeking to learn more about it.

We really enjoyed this experience. Issac gave us a full overview of the political history of modern Greece — explaining the present situation by delving into the country’s history since independence, with a few relevant stops at locations along the way. He went out of his way to make the talk relevant to us, using astute comparisons to both of our home countries to help make the information accessible. He has clearly thought deeply about Greece’s history and the talk goes through some interesting digressions while also having an overarching coherent narrative and point to make. He talks from an interesting perspective as someone who has made the country his adopted home. We came away with a richer understanding of the country, city, and our the neighbourhood where we were staying. He gave us much food for thought and we feel like we can be better tourists because of this experience. Sometimes it took some concentration to follow all the historical developments, but Issac is always receptive to questions and clarifications. Thank you so much for offering experiences like this — it is so important! If only there was a tour like this everywhere we visit.

This tour was amazing, the information was interesting, I saw parts of the city I wouldn't have seen and Issac is a smart, funny and thoughtful storyteller. It was great to experience part of Greece outside of ancient ruins. I highly recommend this tour.
