I joined the tour on the 16th May, we were a small group of 4 which was excellent as we were able to talk a lot, ask questions and discuss about what we saw during the tour. Nikos, our guide, perfect guide by the way, showed us another side of Athens, the authentic and the contemporary one that is not seen by most of the tourists. We got to know how street art reflects the society and Nikos discussed with us the meaning behind every piece of street art, which could be a social, political or simply artistic one. We have visited different places in an area where tourists could hardly be seen. Nikos is a great guide, knowledgeable and informative, very kind, funny, open-minded, patient, talkative and extremely friendly. We all had a great time with him and I really enjoyed the tour, it was indeed interesting. We took a coffee break too in a non touristy neighborhood, just like hanging out with some old friends. We enjoyed our conversation a lot. Highly recommended!

An absolutely superb tour. So much learnt not just about street art but heritage, culture, politics and the Greek way of life. Nicos was an excellent guide, a massive highlight of our visit to Athens.

This tour was super fun and one of the highlights of our trip. Nikos, our guide, showed us around parts of Athens for the unique and beautiful street art we otherwise would not have seen. Nikos was very knowledgeable about the various pieces we saw during our tour and was able to answer all our questions and shared some interesting facts about the history of Athens. He also recommended some awesome bars and restaurants to check out and those did not disappoint. 5 Stars all day, every day.
