Modern Politics Private Tour
Very interesting tour!
"I wanted to learn more about Greece's political and economic situation and its modern history. George provided great information and some very interesting sites. As a bonus, he showed me some great coffee shops and taught me how to drink Greek coffee properly. I highly recommend this opportunity to learn about modern Greece."
