Overview
Discover the Acropolis of Athens with a kid-friendly guide on a private family tour that dives into mythology and history. It’s easy for kids to lose focus during tours for adults, but this version uses educational materials and stories designed just for them.

Our guide, Jason, was absolutely outstanding! Our family of four (2 kids) had our tour of the Acropolis, and Jason was friendly, on time, answered all of our questions, and was engaging and interactive with the children. We all learned so much during our tour, and Jason did a fantastic job of giving us information and helping us envision the Acropolis as it was. So much insight on details that we would never have known about if we had just visited on our own. Both kids are saying this tour was a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend this tour, especially with Jason!

Our tour with Eva was fantastic. Eva is an archaeologist by trade and taught us so much about the Acropolis and Greek history and mythology.

Georgina was excellent. So patient with our 2 year old - even translating the stories about gods and temples into dinosaur terms (our son loves Dino’s)

Our guide was absolutely wonderful. We had 3 children ages 3, 4 and 5 and she brought stories along with her about the Gods and included pictures for them to visualize them. She was patient, lovely and created a great experience for us.

We absolutely loved our tour of the acropolis with our wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. She did an excellent job of bringing the the history and context of what we were seeing to life, my teenage son is not normally keen on sightseeing but said it was the best bit of our trip this time!

Eva was a terribly friendly, patient and knowledgeable tour guide. I recommend taking this tour for families with children.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hello Viswanath, we are over the moon that you enjoyed your guide, and we are honored you recommend our tour for families with children. Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon!

We really enjoyed the tour, the guide was knowledgeable and very interesting.
She adapted the tour to the members of our group with mobility issues.
Only small deception is that the guide didn’t have the iPad and the small gift for the kids as stated in the tour description.
