This was one of the best Athens experiences ever. Mary was a brilliant and passionate guide who cares deeply about the cause. Her knowledge of the subject is incredible and her storytelling left me deeply moved.

My favorite thing I did in Athens by far. Mary is incredibly passionate and thoughtful. As a queer person myself, I felt honored to know some of the queer history of Greece told by someone who was so involved in it. Everything Mary told me and my husband I will cherish forever and share with others back home. From the stories to the historical facts that led to them. It’s an unforgettable walk through time filled with moments of joy, struggle and most of all, hope. Thank you Mary for such an enriching and beautiful experience.
