To kick start our time in Athens we decided to go on a walking tour.
We set off with George our guide, he was wonderful and very Greek but about halfway through the tour we found out he was an illegal tour guide hahaha
He lost his real job in the GFC and figured he knew just as much as anyone else about Athens and so took up taking tours buuuuut to be a tour guide in Greece you have to have a permit but to get the permit you have to pay a certain amount of money, George wasn't willing to do that and so just does his own thing.
If ever he passes real tour guides who do pay the fee for the permit he has to pretend that he's not touring people
HILARIOUS!
The way he saw it, he was revolutionising Greece by sticking it to the man and ignoring ridiculous policies.
