Mary is a wonderful guide! She gave us a perfect tour while we talked about the position of women in modern Greece. We plunged into the issues of the political agenda and figured out what strikes mean for the citizens, which was very interesting. Mary also answered all of our questions, recommended several films to watch (we will definitely do that!) and spent even more time with us than planned. We are very grateful! Thank you so much! And we also recommend the walk to anyone who wants to understand at least a little the structure of modern Greek society.
An absolute must while in Athens! I learned so much during my time with Mary. There is nothing I could’ve looked up online on my own to learn what I did in our time together. This was a very unique tour and exactly what I wanted. Bonus, Mary is sweet and kind. A true pleasure to talk to.

Maria is an exceptional tour guide and you can definitely tell she is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the topics she speaks about. I had such an enjoyable time discussing her personal opinion about Greek politics and history. She is also a very exceptional activist, which makes her tour far more insightful than the generic tourist tours that drive you around the landmarks. I hope to catch her LGBTQ tour of Athens before I leave. Thank you again!
