Testimonials

"This tour was one of the highlights of our amazing Greek vacation. Highly recommend this tour and would suggest doing it at the beginning of your trip. Amazing!!!"

"Great, unique experience! Our guide, Nikos was great! He was welcoming, pleasant and personable, with a lot of knowledge about art in general and street art, he knew a lot about the artists, and spiced it also with history and information about Athens. It definitely showed us another side of the city, a side we could not know otherwise and we felt we understood Athens better."

"Can honestly say this tour made our Athens visit. A great mix of history and fantastic bars with our guide Andreas. Follow up tips were also really good, we then had a great plan for the next two days for sights, food and revisiting the cool bars from the tour. Highly recommended!"
