This was a very good tour and we’re glad we spent the morning of our one full day in Athens doing it. I knew very little about Greek mythology but our tour guide Theo filled us in on the basics along with plenty of stories weaving myth and history together. The morning timing was perfect too; by the time we were leaving the Acropolis the crowd had doubled or tripled.

Our guide Chrysanthi was amazing! She brought the Gods and all the mythical stoies to life with engaging story telling and had great historical knowledge about all the sites. And would guide with care and attention to finding shade and making water breaks while keeping perfect timing. She was also more than happy to answer any questions we had. The whole experience was fun, relaxed and educational. Highly recommend this tour!
