A very interesting tour with a really nice guide! We got to see different neighborhoods and definitely learned a lot! Thanks

Seeing Athens through the lens of street art was an amazing experience.
Thomas, my guide, took me through different neighborhoods and showed me murals, graffiti, and street art that tell the story of Athens in a way you don’t get from monuments alone.
Many of the works reflected the city’s political history over the last 30 to 40 years — corruption, protest, government overreach, and the tension between citizens and power. Others were memorials to people who have passed, turning public walls into places of memory.
It was Athens from a different angle: raw, political, personal, and alive.

Thomas was a great guide, super knowledgeable. We loved seeing a street level, less touristy version of Athens, and Thomas gave us some great recommendations for the city. Highly recommend.
David_S, May 2026
Thomas is clearly an authority on the history of graffiti, street art, and murals in the Athens neighborhoods. He has a great unhurried approach, encourages questions and feedback, and a great sense of humor. He has great knowledge of history of neighborhoods. He and Kalliopi have packaged great photos and recommendations of all sorts of things to do in Athens. It’s an awesome tour, not to be missed!
Kathrin_Z, Feb 2026
It was very exciting.
And also like a city tour, highly recommended!
Kaliopi knows the Athens street art scene very well and took time to answer questions. We now see the city through different eyes.
ANDRU_E, Dec 2025
Thomas was very fun and informative. Highly recommend this walking tour. Saw a few interesting neighborhoods, including some that tourists miss.
Nicole_J, Sep 2025
Lovely walking tour in sections of Athens you might not usually see. Kaliopi was our guide and she’s a very knowledgeable artist and guide. It went over 3 hours, so we were a bit done by the end, but otherwise a nice time.
Jamie_R, Sep 2025
Thomas was wonderful. He really showed us the ins and outs of the art tour. He also showed us some of his favorite paintings. After we were all done he sent us a document in an email of his favorite places. So he truly went above and beyond that we weren’t expecting.
Michelle_S, Jul 2025
Kalliopi was super friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to highlight many pieces of art, educate on different styles, as well as the motivation behind the pieces. The tour wasn't rushed either despite being able to see so much. Highly recommend

It was a really nice way to get to know Athens for our 2 Teenage Girls and us. You would never figure out, what wie have heard absolut the artists and their pictures. Cool Spots and a really awesome Tour Guide named Kalliopi. Thanks a Lot!

This was the trip of a lifetime for four “old” friends, and Greece did not disappoint! Katerina was one of our favorite tour guides! She provided a well rounded experience with an insider’s perspective of the local street artist culture. She wove together history, symbolism, Greek culture and personal insights into an engaging tapestry of vibrant and thought-provoking memories. She addressed the political and cultural significance of the art works using a reflective yet objective approach.
A delightful newlywed couple from Canada joined us and we already have plans to visit each other for football games!
Thank you to Katerina who anticipated and was considerate of our personal needs, whether it was standing in the shade to stay cool or pivoting to take an early bathroom break! This tour is a must-do for the curious traveler.
Leslie_H, May 2025
This was a wonderful and interesting walk through some neighborhoods to see street art. Kalliopi was incredibly knowledgeable about the street art, and was able to give us history and answer our “why’s” to several other questions not relating to the street art.
Jeffrey_M, Mar 2025
Thomas was a kind, gracious host. For me his accent was a bit challenging to understand. The art was interesting.
George_M, Jan 2025
Knowledgeable guide. Although a regular visitor I learnt about parts of Athens that I was unfamiliar with. Even after such a brief introduction we became familiar with the styles of key artists.
david_i, Dec 2024
it was a very good tour with a lot of stories, explanations, meaning and techniques used for the diverse wlrks of street art shown, more than 30 artworks viewed around central Athens, with some i never noticed...
i highly recomment and give me the idea to do more street art tours in other cities 8 visit
Julie_R, Oct 2024
Kalliope was great! She was very knowledgeable about the art and artists. It was a fabulous tour. So glad we decided to see another side of Athens
Karen_M, Oct 2024
Kalliopi was a fantastic tour guide. Not only was she knowledgeable about the street art but also shared alot of Athens history. The street art she took us was incredible. All of the art had a story behind it. We highly recommend this tour.
Antonio_B, Sep 2024
Kalliopi is an expert and a very professional guide. If you are seriously interested in Street ART, don't miss it. The tour was awesome. Thanks a lot!!!
Sigal_L, Jul 2024
The tour was a beautiful and interesting experience.
It is the best way to know and understand Athens's history and culture.
Kalliopi is professional and shares a lot of stories.
There is no way to see it alone.
If you visit Athens, take at list one tour.
Randee_L, May 2024
There’s a major difference between graffiti & real “street art”… our walking tour took us thru a few local towns as we viewed art works on the side of building w/ their local & political images. We strolled by shops, stores & bakeries (yummy) as we learned the history of Athens. Highly recommend this tour w/ Kalliaopi.
Randall_T, May 2024
The guide was very knowledgeable and patient to explain the art works. The tour lasted about 3 hours and we walked around the city to see various pieces of street arts. Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.
Jane_B, Apr 2024
The tour was really informative and I got to see some amazing street art 🎨. Tour guide, Kalliopi, is great... she's really knowledgeable about the art, the artists and the history. Would definitely recommend.
Clmence_L, Feb 2024
I had an amazing time with Kalliopi, she speaks loud and clear and she is very passionate not only about street art but also animals, food…she really helped me having a great understanding on the neighbourhoods we walked through, advising some spots too! The tour was great as there are many beautiful art pieces to see, and Kalliopi is very knowledgeable. I recommand this tour 100% ☺️
Gareth_S, Dec 2023
Enjoyed an excellent tour with Kalliopi. This is a great way to see some non-touristy areas of Athens and as well as the street-art, Kalliopi gave plenty of recommendations on what to do/see/eat/drink in the city. Definitely recommend this tour.
Mark_N, Dec 2023
Warmly greeted by our guides, Kalliopi and Thomas, before we set off. The tour took in a wide range of examples of the street art, and included info about the artists, the motivation and reasons behind what the art is about and why it is there. Pace of the tour was great and included a stop for a coffee to refresh. The guides took time to answer questions and provide extra context, and additionally sent a guide about the art we saw after the tour. Definitely recommended.
Anne_H, Nov 2023
The guide was excellent and knowledgeable about street art, history, politics, and more. My only complaint is that it was dark by the end of the tour, and it was difficult to see the art. Perhaps start an hour earlier
Peter_C, Sep 2023
We went on the street art tour as a group of friends and really enjoyed it. The tour took us through some interesting parts of town and we saw a diverse range of artwork that we might otherwise not have seen. Our guide, Athena was very friendly and provided helpful context on what we were seeing. Very much recommended.
Maria_C, Sep 2023
It was a great tour! If you like to see the other part of Athens I really recommend this tour. Kalliopi (Our guide) was incredible, she explained everything with detail and also gave us tips about where to go for cocktails, coffee and food to make our time in Athens even greater.
Christian_F, Aug 2023
The tour was really exciting and interesting and showed us a completely different side of Athens. We can really recommend Thomas and the tour!
