Awards & Accolades

Testimonials

"WOW-So much art to see! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made a point to explain about specific artists, and also to ask us our interpretations. Her love for the art was apparent and her style was calm and warm. I highly recommend the tour. Bring a camera - you will not be walking through the touristy areas for this one."

Janee G

"Great tour with an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgable and obviously passionate about the art scene, and the tour showed the city in a different light. The guide was simply great, I can only recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in art, politics and conceptual perception."

Petra - Austria

"As a totally blind man the guide, Helen, was terrific and the tour exceeded my expectations. It is an experience I will always remember. The guide told us amazing stories of Ancient Greece. She also had tactile models and they were so helpful for me. Thanks for offering this kind of tour for the blind and visually impaired . The only part that was difficult was climb up to top. But excited and proud that I did it."
