Additional Information

Embrace the audacious ethos of Athens on a pedestrian odyssey and see how Athens’ legacy of defiance has moulded the metropolis we encounter today.

Traverse through epochs with every footfall, exploring symbolic landmarks that chronicle Athens’ saga of rebellion, from its stand against the Ottoman Empire to its ongoing struggle for societal equitability.

Unearth tales of Greek defiance, from the fearless deeds of singular heroes who morphed into myths to enormous civilian nationalist movements, yearning for liberation against fascism, brutality, and governmental subjugation.

Onward, delve into the buzzing district of Exarchia, the existing epicenter of dissent and advocacy home to anarchists, refugees, queer community, and artisans. Engage with the community’s innovative vigour and understand its continual contribution to Athens’ pursuit of social fairness.

Embark with us on this pedestrian exploration and uncover how Athens’ lineage of defiance persistently motivates and directs its contemporaneous and forthcoming eras.

Great start for our time in Athens - We booked the tour as our first activity in Athens, rather by chance and were very happy in hindsight. There were no other people booked that day (and the groups seem to be small anyway), so it was a private tour that gave us an excellent introduction to Greek history and the city. The guide was really knowledgeable, took her time and was very passionate about her topic.

Entertaining and informative history lesson with Culture Hunters - This is a must for anyone interested in understanding the Athens of today by looking at its turbulent past . Maelle is undoubtably learned but combines that with an enthusiasm and passion for her topic such that we were both entertained and informed . Culture Hunters offers a number of tours - we will certainly book with them again when next in Athens

Excellent walking tour - Highly recommend this tour. We learned so much context that is shaping our experience of Athens, and providing inspiration for the resistance work we are involved in back home. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. This was a highlight of our trip.
