I had a brilliant tour with Thomas! He is extremely knowledgeable about the street art scene in Athens, and it was fascinating to see many wonderful pieces while learning the backstory and context behind them. The food and coffee were a lovely enhancement to an already highly enjoyable tour, and provided a nice opportunity to share conversation with a very friendly and interesting local. Highly recommended!
This was a really unique tour. Due to schedule changes, this was the first thing we did in Athens and I'm actually glad it turned out this way. It was so interesting to learn about the various graffiti and street artists and for the rest of the week, my children kept spotting various artist's work and pointing them out, which turned the week into kind of a graffiti scavenger hunt. The food was delicious and better than other places that had been recommended to me by friends, definitely hang on to this guide's recommendations! My only suggestion would be to start the tour with some food, then launch into the art, then circle back to the food. I didn't give my kids breakfast because we were going on a food tour, so they were hungry and grumpy in the beginning and not as into the initial street art explanations as they would have been if they had eaten some delicious food first. I didn't realize it would be a few hours before we had any food and I think kicking off the tour with some coffee and greek donuts would've been really nice.
I had a great time walking with my tour guide Thomas! We had great conversations about his hometown of Athens and his love of street art. I learned a lot about this type of visual art and how the artists conceptualize and created them. The 3 hours of the tour pass by quickly and was not to taxing, only walked like 4 miles on nearly flat terrain. Also, Thomas was kind enough to treat me to delicious cold brew coffee and some sweet Greek pastries called “bougatsa”. Overall, I give the walking tour a 5 star rating.
Kalliopi was great. Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the different types of street art. We saw some great works and really just enjoyed feeling the vibe of a neighborhood in Athens. The walking was easy. For the most part, the pace was good. We had just arrived in Athens that morning from a long flight, so it was a good way to finish off the day and move our bodies. We took a 5-8 pm tour and we finished in a neighborhood with several outdoor restaurants to choose from.
What a fascinating way to spend several hours in Athens. The tour covered a range of artists and sites. Kalliopi explained the back stories and artistic styles of various images around the Keramikos and Psiri neighbourhoods in a very engaging way. Although I am relatively familiar with the city, I learned a lot and also appreciated the recommendations for shops and particularly restaurants, two of which I tried out that evening and the next day. Highly recommended!
Our guide, Thomas was super knowledgeable, attentive and.friendly. We had a great time roaming the streets and discovering, introducing to the graffiti and murals in the Athens neighborhoods and tasting local, cultural food items
Amazing tour, the guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much. Got to visit areas we would not have seen , easy paced and really enjoyable . 100% satisfied ❣️ (and great food stops too!)
The guide was super nice and friendly. We walked around several neighborhoods and it was nice to be on side streets and away from the crowds. The first half, we saw several examples of street art and the second half we had several tastings. It was the perfect amount of art and food !! Highly recommend for a relaxing tour.
Excellent guide and tour. The food stops were excellent and enough food for a large lunch. The street art is wonderful and world-class. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone not familiar with this neighborhood of Athens and considering all the included food is a bargain.
The tour was wonderful! Our favourite in Athens! Our exceptional guide took us off and on the more touristy areas. She is very animated, informed, knowledgeable, passionate and exciting about street art! Our delicious food experience was concentrated in the second half! A big thanks to our guide Kalliopi!
