Alternative and Amazing! - This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Athens! I can't say enough good things about our tour guide, Greg. He was phenomenal! He was friendly and put us at ease. He was so knowledgeable about street art, and I learned so much about an alternative side to the city. He was so passionate about the art. The tour wasn't at all rushed and is great value for the price if you are looking for something a little different. I would 100% recommend this tour! Thank you!

Excellent tour - We are group of 2 families including 3 kids, means it is very hard to keep their expectations & demands. Our tour guide, Mr. Greg ( Gregory ) was really do his best to tell us alot of interesting stories behind of the street art, current issue in Athens with passion & love. Really appreciated for his efforts and it was best trip which I do during our visit in Athens this time. I highly recommend this trip. 세 명의 아이들이 있는 가족 여행이라 눈높이를 맞추기 쉽지 않은 상황임에도 불구하고 최대한 많은 이야기를 흥미롭게 전해주려고 노력하는 가이드분 ( Mr. Gregory )의 자세가 너무 훌륭했다. 그리스 신화때문에 과거의 이야기에만 집중하기 쉬운 아테네 여행에서 현대 아테네가 가지고 있는 고민과 문제등에 대해서 알수 있는 흥미로운 투어였다. 적극 추천한다.

Art with a local friend - Agatha is a wonderful guide. She's passionate and knowledgeable about street art and Athens. I really enjoyed her company and the time she took to explain the art and so many other interesting things about life in the city. Can't recommend this tour with Agatha enough!! Well worth the money
