Small-Group Athens City of Rebellion Walking Tour

We really enjoyed this tour with Maelle - this time about more recent history. Again we walked around important sites such as Syntagma Square and the fascinating neighbourhood of Exarchia stopping regularly to talk through the history of Greece from various occupations to the present day.

This tour was excellent. Our guide Maelle was great, she was informative and friendly, and included everyone in our small group. The tour took us to places we would never have found otherwise, a real view of Athens and its history of rebellion up to the present day. Really recommended.

This was a fascinating trip through centuries of history of one of the world's most important countries. If you're slightly confused about what happened between the classical and modern eras (e.g. how did Lord Byron fit in? Where did the Greek royal family come from?), this tour is for you!

Maelle is an amazing guide! She is very knowledgeable and warm. The subject is very dear to her heart, so that the information she gave us had a current feel to it. We gained an understanding of Athens that would not have had without taking the tour. Very very interesting and memorable. Highly recommend!

We went on the "Athens: History of Rebellion Walking Tour" with Maelle and it was an absolute highlight of our time in Athens. There were 5 of us on the tour and Maelle took us through the last 200 years of political rebellion in the city. The tour was informative, interesting, and colorful. She showed us so many fascinating locations and gave us a social justice oriented understanding of Athens/ political scene. Additionally, Maelle took the time to reach out after the tour and share suggestions for restaurants and outings both in Athens and in Naxos, where we were visiting afterward. We highly recommend this tour and any tours or offerings from Maelle!

Highly recommended! Gives you exciting historical insights into Athens past. Not only is it personalised, so you are able to ask questions/comments any time, but also is the guide passionate and local about the city! Join the walking tours if you are eager on getting to know Athens in the best way possible!

This is a great tour for those who want to see and hear a bit more about the history of modern Athens and Greek society, beyond the known historical sites. I found it really interesting and definitely recommend it.

I had the privilege of going to a tour with Maelle. She was incredibly knowledgable, sweet and insightful. I got to hear a bit about her own personal experience while leaving in the city.

Great walking tour with a knowledgeable, engaging and friendly guide! I learned a lot about the city and the history of Greece. The route was well-thought and the duration perfect. I can't wait to have the occasion to rebook another experience with Culture Hunters!

... and if you aren't interested, you should be!

We really enjoyed our stay in Athens but wanted to learn about its more recent history and the culture that we were seeing as we walked around. This tour really gave us loads of context, some inspiring and interesting stories and we also saw some parts of town that we might not otherwise have seen. This tour is very much recommended.

This tour is an ideal choice for travelers seeking a deeper understanding of this incredible city and its people, and interested in the history of Greece beyond the ancient times. I saw a side of Athens which a tourist can hardly discover without a local and learnt about some secret spots I cannot share with other tourists:) Maelle was exceptional in making the tour both educational and fun. Her knowledge and passion for the subject matter were evident throughout, and she presented the information in an engaging way. Thank you for this incredible experience!
