A New Perspective

This was the one tour I wanted to do. I was curious about a side of Athens that isn't featured in the general tourist information. I am so happy I chose Zori's guided walk through some of the most fascinating neighbourhoods of the city. His knowledge and insights into modern Athenian life and cultural made this tour unforgettable. The stories behind empty property and gentrification is so interesting. Lots of amazing photo opportunities if, like me, you enjoy urban landscapes and capturing a snapshot of history. Zori is very generous with his recommendations of places to eat. He gave me a lunch recommendation for a very traditional and inexpensive Greek restaurant which turned out to be fabulous and I would never have found it without his advice. Thank you Zori.

Très intéressant comme visite

J’ai beaucoup apprécié la visite! C’est très intéressant d’observer un quartier si particulier et d’en apprendre son histoire. Je reviendrai! Le guide est sympathique et très gentil, je recommande à qui veut sortir des sentiers battus des visites guidées, une alternative vraiment chouette! Merci encore au guide!

Génial !

Un tour vraiment intéressant ! Qui change des tours classiques et permet de découvrir une autre facette d'Athènes. Zori est vraiment un chouette guide qui connait bien son sujet et qui pimente ses explications avec beaucoup d'humour. Il m'a en plus recommandé des adresses sympa en dehors des circuits touristiques. Merci ! Je recommande vivement !
