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!
Isaac opens your eyes to the challenges refugees face in Greece, significantly raising awareness on this critical issue. His deep knowledge imparted so much insight—I felt truly enlightened. This tour offers a unique perspective, one that I highly recommend experiencing. It's a valuable opportunity to explore a lesser-known side of Athens, away from the typical tourist attractions.
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.
