Excellent experience for all levels of art lovers! - We thoroughly enjoyed our street art tour! Greg was knowledgeable, kind, and tailored the tour to our interests. It was so interesting to see the different styles of street art around the city and learn the history and culture of the street art community in Athens. I cannot recommend this tour enough for anyone interested in urban art or art in general!

Such creative artwork - Such a great tour! So many stories are portrayed through Art and this was wonderful to see on the side of buildings or garages. Our guide was so lovely and knowledgeable; I felt that we were kindred spirits throughout. The Ino art work was probably some of my favourite and seeing them in the city brilliant. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Athens.

Highly Recomment the Urban Street Art Tour! - Katerina was a wonderful tour guide. She promptly met us at the assigned meeting spot (in front of a pastry shop near Monastiraki Square) and introduced herself to our small group of four. Since we all knew each other already, she asked us a few questions so she could learn a little about us and the type of information and art we might be most interested in hearing about and seeing during our tour. She also gave us a quick overview of the route we would be taking on this walking tour as well as a little background about street art vs grafitti. As we walked, she pointed out many diverse examples of art on the buildings and explained the historical, religious, philosophical, and political meanings possibly linked to these pieces of art. She also encouraged us to share our interpretations. She answered our questions and offered insites about the culture of this city. Since this was our first full day in Athens, she also offered some recommendations about how to have a safe and enjoyable visit. The entire tour lasted 2 hours and we walked about a mile. For us, the tour ended very near our hotel, so that worked great. There is also a Metro stop there so it is easy to return to another area of the city, if needed. This was a great alternative to seeing more ruins and a nice way to learn about some of the more current Greek history and local Athens culture. Highly recommend!

Exploring Athens Art and Neighborhoods - In addition to seeing interesting street art and learning about its history, we were also exposed to different neighborhoods in Athens that gave a totally different view of the city.

Exciting and highly recommended - We had the tour with Georges and there were actually only two of us. He gave us a great introduction to the art and communication of the street art scene. We saw a lot of very varied art and it was very exciting to learn the background and statements behind it. Our guide was great, very nice and well-spoken. We had a great time.
