Such an informative and interesting tour -- recommended!

Eleni_V, Apr 2025

I absolutely loved both the concept and execution of this tour to help understand the refugee crisis in Greece. Isaac was *so* knowledgeable and friendly, answering all of my questions and giving me new ones to ponder. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in diving deeper into the nuances of Greek culture. Despite living here for over two years, I now see Athens with even more depth and nuance. Also enjoyed some of the local off-the-path food recommendations!

A Rare look behind the curtain

Isaac offers a very astute and unique look into an important issue in today’s Athens. This tour is best for those interested in social justice and politics. The tour takes you through the allegedly unsafe neighborhoods, so be aware of how it fits your group.
