Entertaining and instructive… mythology is complicated but this tour makes it fun!!! Give it a try!!!
Katerina K. was our guide for the mythological tour of Athens. Katerina is a wonderful teacher, her explanations were always to the point, she is very knowledgable of Greek mythology and of the city of Athens, she has a great sense of humour, and a very positive attitude. The tour was both interesting and fun. Definitely worth the money! It is ideal for tourists who have already seen the Acropolis and are curious to know more about the city.
Penelope was our guide and she was absolutely fantastic. We had our children with us and she tailored her style and stories to keep their interest. We learned so much & enjoyed the lessons and the walk. We highly recommend Penelope and this tour for anyone interested in learning about the mythology & even some of the much lesser known stories.
Penelope was our knowledgeable and experienced guide. She made ancient Greek mythological history come alive. She welcomed questions and gave thoughtful answers. When she found out my profession, she related some ancient Greek mythological figures to my profession which I thought was awesome. Not that this is a thing one should expect, but she made sure that we were out of the direct sun and we were not too hot. I really appreciated that because we had two gingers and a Blondie in our group. :) Highly recommend.
Very informative guide. If you are interested in Greek mythology, it’s a must. If you have no idea regarding this subject matter, strongly suggest to read up on it before the tour - otherwise, you will have a hard time following it. Very well done . Tour guide was great
Very knowledable guide. Enjoyed her talk very much. Make the twisted history of the gods easy to follow.
Penelope is a great storyteller! This tour is a unique and fun way to see some of Athens and learn a lot about mythology. We enjoyed it very much!
Penelope was a great guide - fun, engaging, patient and informative! Thanks for the good overview of Athenian myths.
Penelope was a great storyteller and kept all of us engaged. 2 hrs was the perfect amount of time for this tour
This tour was super informative and fun! We heard a lot of Greek mythology stories that we had not heard before! It was very interesting. It is a lot of walking so make sure to wear good shoes!
Penelope was brilliant! Amazing knowledge of greek mythology and kept us engaged for the whole tour. Exactly what we wanted! We left feeling like greek mythology pros. Highly recommend to anyone interested in greek mythology :)
As it turned out, my wife and I were the only tour members signed up but Penelope gave us an excellent tour! She had such a vast understanding of Greek history and the mythological connections between the Gods and other figures. She was also very considerate making sure we could rest if needed while walking us around the city. Absolutely wonderful!!
We had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! It was friendly for those with little to a lot of knowledge on Greek mythology!
Penelope’s knowledge was extra ordinary. No idea how she can remember such a convoluted mythology! My brain was exploding after two hours with the amount of information!
We had a great guide, and an excellent tour. We learned so much, and went to quite a few sites. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
Our guide was amazing and so knowledgeable about all! We were to be on a small group tour but it ended up being just me and my daughter which was amazing.
Christina was very knowledgeable on the history and the beginning of the Greek mythology of the gods and the family tree. It was a nice walk through the city of Athens.
The tour was different and magical. A lot of information of the gods, the places, the history, the stories...very interesting and different, original, special. And Cristina is the most nice guide we had ever. She is so nice, so helpful! she explained everything to us wonderfully, magically, things that we would never know without her tour, with very special information, incredible sympathy and very special affection. And our teens were so happy!... Like us!! At the end, she helped us by telling us where to buy a memory card for the camera, recommending where to go to have dinner, shopping, for a walk ... a wonderful guide and a charming tour. Thank you Cristina, I hope to see you again!
Christina was awesome and adjusted the tour after I twisted my ankle and couldn’t walk. We ended up chatting about the Gods and it ended up being a great afternoon
The Mythological Tour with Christina was just amazing. The only thing we regret is, that we didn’t book it earlier. It was not only informative and interesting, but my sister and I also had a great time talking with Christina about the modern greek culture. She is a super open, welcoming young lady. Thank you so much, we can only recommend it to anyone that wants to know about Ancient Greece, whilst having a blast.
The tour was so interesting and nice. Also the guide was very kind. It was only me and my boyfriend with the guide and it was in no way awkward. I can only recommend this tour.
I think this is the same tour that I took; I know it as an Athens City Walking Tour; and my guide was Pascal - he was AMAZING, so pleasant & friendly. I even got a little lost in the city center and was running a bit late because of it, I was so panicked I missed his text message - and he was kind & patient enough to help me find my way (well, actually he came to me). He had an impressive grasp of history & mythology & took us to some out of the way places that aren't on the typical list of things to see but are more than worth it. Pascal also gave some wonder insights of places to see & things to do while in Greece, he's truly a gem. I had a wonderful time & I highly recommend taking his tour if you have the opportunity.
I especially enjoyed the Areopagus and where Socrates was likely imprisoned. It was supposed to be a group tour but it ended up with me being the only person. The tour guide still conducted the tour and did an excellent job. He was quite knowledgeable and informative
Pascal has a good command of English and a clear accent, making it easy to understand when he spills his knowledge. He's an insightful and intelligent tour guide with knowledge spanning beyond the the myths and legends of Ancient Greece. The route you journey on allows you to take in the beauty of the city.With other tours all lot more pricey I would definitely say you will get your money's worth!
