Mary was a fantastic guide and I learned so much on this tour. I really appreciated her expertise, her enthusiasm, and her willingness to share not just the history of women in Athens but her knowledge and experience of current politics/events. We had really interesting conversations about the differences and similarities between Greece and the US. This tour was definitely a highlight of my trip to Greece.

Recently, I had the privilege of joining a feminist walk and it was nothing short of enlightening. Mary was not only knowledgeable and passionate, but she masterfully wove together historical facts with present-day relevance, providing a rich tapestry of the feminist movement and its impact on the city. It was an immersive experience that transcended a mere 'walk' - it was an education, an inspiration, and a call to remember and honor the trailblazers who've paved the way for gender equality. Highly recommend this unique experience to locals and travelers alike. It's not just a tour, it's a transformative journey
Mary was extremely informative and friendly. Great person to spent a few hours with and learn about the history of feminism in Greece. Definitely recommend!
