How did the "cradle of democracy" turn into "Europe's basket case"? Although the question is blunt and unpleasant, it reflects the essence of much global thinking in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. From the founding of the Greek state until the present times, this experience illustrates both social and political aspects of Greece. It is aimed at individuals who have an interest in politics and who want to undertake first-hand research to understand more about the situation of the country. A Political Scientist will lead you into a comprehensive analysis, providing surprising answers. You'll be able to discuss both historical and current events from a fair and non-biased perspective to help you form your own opinions. This walk is designed to resemble a documentary in terms of pace and information density. In the end, you will receive a slideshow with photos and extra info on the issues discussed during the experience.

I took this tour at the end of a two-month holiday in Greece and went home with a deeper and more accurate understanding of Greek politics. Isaac adapted the talk to make comparisons with the various countries represented on the tour. I feel like I learnt so much and am grateful to Isaac for all the work he does to illuminate the complex nature of Greece's political history and culture.

Go to the Acropolis and wander around Plaka on day one for your ancient history fix. But save day two (or three) for this tour if you want to learn about the dynamic living history of Athens happening right before your eyes (and under your feet). I had read a lot about modern Athens before my trip and it was powerful to see my book learning reflected accurately in the streets. It was very illuminating and thought provoking. Isaac is knowledgeable and entertaining (in short, "a good guy"). If you're used to the complexities and grittiness of urban centers make sure to ask for the "extra spicy" option.

Great tour. Isaac put together a great agenda and was very knowledgeable. Worth doing for sure - touches on very interesting topics you don’t hear about anywhere else.
