"Tour was awesome! Nice and intimate and Nikos was an awesome guide. So much knowledge about the city and street art and food!! Highly recommended :-)"

"Great tour with an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgable and obviously passionate about the art scene, and the tour showed the city in a different light. The guide was simply great, I can only recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in art, politics and conceptual perception."
