Athens Street Art - What a great way to spend the morning in Athens. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Agnes walking the streets and discovering the works of these talented artists. A great way to discover areas of Athens you may not necessarily seek out on your own, as you gain an understanding of the works these artists have produced.

Wonderful Experience-Amazing Art - This was a fabulous tour of Athens’ amazing street art, graffiti and commissioned murals. Agatha, our tour leader, was knowledgeable and engaging. Spending a few hours touring the art and walking through the various neighborhoods with Agatha was effortless. My family of three were the only people on the tour and sometimes this can make things awkward. Instead, Agatha engaged each of us and kept our interest high throughout the trip. The art was amazing and Agatha explained the recent history of Athens, the artists, and their politics. I highly recommend this tour and would encourage you to request Agatha as your tour leader!

Great value! Amazing insight - Thankyou Agatha for making my hubbys birthday really special. This was a great tour! Not only the street art but also the meaning behind the works and the history of each area was so in-depth! I feel we got great value and discovered areas we would not have found on our own.

Excellent way to visit Athens - This tour was fantastic, as we were able to explore not only very talented art but also the urban core of Athens itself. You become familiar with the various neighborhoods and on foot get to see many of the sites off the beaten path. It's a wonderful complement to the ancient tours and we are happy we did both.

A 'people's' art history of Athens (2009-2023) - We (a family of three) were absolutely delighted and thrilled to have had a very engaging and thoughtful art tour of Athens by one of your guides. A young woman full of energy and capable of holding our attention through conversation and wonderful vignettes about ordinary life in Athens through street art. Hence, instead of simply a 'monumental' tour of big structures and the classical world of Greece, we got a sense of the deeper lives of ordinary people and their counter culture through street art with heroes like Lukanikos. We left Greece thinking that democracy is alive and not frozen in museums and archaeological sites. Thank you again to the young tour guide who seemed gifted with her ability to tell us stories about the streets and their wild explosions in paint. As an ideas, it would be wonderful if you could arrange for alternative histories and thinking by getting tourists or travellers to interact with historians, artists and philosophers. Why not a structured meeting over dinner or lunch so that visitors can learn beyond the strictly tourist itinerary.

Great Urban Adventure - Our guide Agatha was super friendly and shared her knowledge of the local works and artists with passion. Much of the art can be left to interpretation but there are also many stories to be told that explain the inspiration. A really great experience, made extra special by our guide!

Art in the Streets - Athens street art is surprising and amazing. Our tour guide, Kalliopi, was fun, informative and knowledgeable of the street artists and their work. We visited neighborhoods that we probably wouldn’t see on usual tourist routes. We felt like we saw some authentic street life because of the tour. It’s nice to see modern art after visiting so many important ancient sites.
