About this tour

How did the ‘cradle of democracy’ become the ‘basket case of Europe’? The question may be crude and offensive, but it captures the essence of much thinking around the globe in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. This interactive storytelling walk is meant to have the flow and information-heavy experience of a documentary.

It takes us into a comprehensive analysis, providing surprising answers. It highlights the social and political elements of Greece, from the creation of the Greek state to modern times. We’ll address both historical and current events from a balanced & non-biased point of view to help you determine your views of this land for yourself.

The experience is aimed at people with a genuine interest in politics and those keen to learn more about the situation in Greece by conducting some first-hand research.

-The duration of this experience is between 2h30mins and 3h30mins depending on Q&A.

-Feel free to contact me for a date and hour that suits you best, and to create a combined program with my other experiences (Understanding the Refugee Crisis and Awful Athens).

Frequently asked questions

The conscious traveler seeking both entertainment and knowledge can explore Greek politics on a microcosmic level by visiting key institutional and historical places. A walk through these public spaces will provide insights into Greece's past and present political landscape.

This was an interesting tour that helped explain how Greece came to be how Greece is today. The tour only focuses on modern Greece. It’s a lot of information but the host is good at keeping people engaged. I really appreciate how much the host made adjustments for the heat. I have been on other tours that have you in the brutal sun and Issac kept in the shade when possible.

This is one of the coolest tours I've ever been on. DO NOT MISS, especially if you're a policy wonk or someone who's interested in international affairs. Picture anthony bourdain crossed with louis thoreau. It was by far the highlight of our trip.
