It’s was a great educational stroll through parts of Athens that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I learned a lot about the street art and artists. Agatha was a great guide. I would highly recommend.
I decided to book this tour for me and my bf to get a new view of Athens , the guide was really nice and she walked as through a not so touristy areas of the city, and we got to learn a different side of Athen , and the guide made it really special and interesting and fun , would recommend to anyone who wants to get to know Athen in different ways
Thank you so much for you review! So happy to know you enjoyed the tour!
In Athens more than in other European cities street art has become a channel of expressing social and political mood. Agathi is very knowledgeable on the topic and guided us through Gazi, Psyri and Metaxourgio presenting the major artists and trends of recent years. These 2 hours gave us a new and different perspective and understanding of fascinating Athens. We definitely recommend this tour for young and old - it’s also appropriate for families with kids from 8-10 years

Saw many murals I might not have happened upon on my own, and it was great to learn about the artists and their processes.
Thank you so much for your review!
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.
Thank you so much for writing a review! So happy you enjoyed the experience!
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!
Thank you so much for your 5 star review! It was a pleasure to host your family in this street art tour!

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.
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you had a nice time during the tour!
