Modern history of Greece - We really enjoyed this tour with Maelle - this time about more recent history. Again we walked around important sites such as Syntagma Square and the fascinating neighbourhood of Exarchia stopping regularly to talk through the history of Greece from various occupations to the present day.

Excellent tour! - This tour was excellent. Our guide Maelle was great, she was informative and friendly, and included everyone in our small group. The tour took us to places we would never have found otherwise, a real view of Athens and its history of rebellion up to the present day. Really recommended.

Essential tour to understand Greece! - This was a fascinating trip through centuries of history of one of the world's most important countries. If you're slightly confused about what happened between the classical and modern eras (e.g. how did Lord Byron fit in? Where did the Greek royal family come from?), this tour is for you!

Don't hesitate, this will be a highlight of your trip! - Maelle is an amazing guide! She is very knowledgeable and warm. The subject is very dear to her heart, so that the information she gave us had a current feel to it. We gained an understanding of Athens that would not have had without taking the tour. Very very interesting and memorable. Highly recommend!

Fascinating - This guided tour of Athens was absolutely fascinating. Maelle knew how to captivate our attention with stories of uprisings and revolutions that shaped the city. Each place visited vibrated with stories of courage and the fight for justice. This tour is perfect for those who want to get off the beaten track and want to understand the social and political dynamics that have animated Athens throughout the centuries.

A Perfect Addition to your Trip to Athens! - We went on the "Athens: History of Rebellion Walking Tour" with Maelle and it was an absolute highlight of our time in Athens. There were 5 of us on the tour and Maelle took us through the last 200 years of political rebellion in the city. The tour was informative, interesting, and colorful. She showed us so many fascinating locations and gave us a social justice oriented understanding of Athens/ political scene. Additionally, Maelle took the time to reach out after the tour and share suggestions for restaurants and outings both in Athens and in Naxos, where we were visiting afterward. We highly recommend this tour and any tours or offerings from Maelle!

Great tour to learn about Athens beyond the touristic parts - This is a great tour for those who want to see and hear a bit more about the history of modern Athens and Greek society, beyond the known historical sites. I found it really interesting and definitely recommend it. I had the privilege of going to a tour with Maelle. She was incredibly knowledgable, sweet and insightful. I got to hear a bit about her own personal experience while leaving in the city.
