Effie was awesome. 4 and 6 YO boys enjoyed her games, stories and interactive tour. Highly recommend as an optimal way to see Athens most famous tourist destinations.

We love Nikki

Nikki! We loved her!!! The ideas and games, definitely kept my two kids entertained and engaged as we explored and learned about Athens. I would recommend 100%. Thank you Nikki!

Fantastic tour for kids

MARITZA_C, Jul 2024

Our tour agent Martina was the best !!! My son absolutely loved the tour … he said that it was the best tour we had in our 15 day trip in Greece and Turkey :) Martina is awesome with kids. So happy we booked it !!!

Great experience with Niki

Sofya_D, Jul 2024

Niki is amazing. She is very knowledgeable about Greek and Athenian history and great with kids. When the kids had a question or wanted to do certain things, Niki was more that happy to help.

Just okay

Patricia_H, Jun 2024

Guide was very good with kids. Walked more than I expected. Would like to have seen/heard a bit more history. Wished games for kids had been geared more to history of Athens.

educational and entertaining

Toni_S, Jun 2024

Martina was very knowledgeable and the games were an excellent way to keep the kids entertained and motivated to learn.

Excellent! Totally worth the money.

Rhian_A, Apr 2023

We had a fantastic time with our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and most importantly, really great fun! She was also really fantastic company. Our tour included lots of really great games which the kids (and adults) loved. She also shared lots of interesting stories and information about the sites which were really age appropriate. We went to lots of main sites but to hidden away spots which we would never have found on our own. Whilst not cheap, it was money well spent. I am so pleased we booked this tour. Thanks you team and Marina our guide (apologies if I have the name wrong but she was really excellent!).

Engaging customized tour - perfect for our almost-5 year old

Elana_B, Mar 2023

This was a great way to learn about Athens as a family. Our wonderful tour guide customized the tour for our family (4.5 yr old and 19-mo old). Our older son said it was his highlight of our trip to Greece. Highly recommend to any families or groups with kids 4 and older.

Awesome!

colleen_s, Jul 2022

Effie the tour guide was amazing! She kept everyone engaged and taught us all Greek Mythology and the kids even said they wanted her to come to their birthday party. Awesome tour!

Excellent kids tour

John_R, Jul 2022

Our guide Martina was amazing. She was so patient with our young kids (ages 3 and 7) and took the time to try to help them learn throughout the tour. She was prepared with a variety of games to keep everyone interested but also managed to share a great amount of knowledge and history to keep the adults entertained. We have done several kids tours in various big cities and this was definitely among the best. I would highly recommend.

Our kids loved the tour for the full 4 hours

Alfonso_C, Apr 2022

Great experience overall. Our two children, ages 7 and 5, loved Effie, our guide. The tour mixed traditional tour elements with games and mythology for the children.

2 families 4 kids 8-12 this kept them entertained and educated all of us. We loved seeing the guard changing and were greatful for the pit stop w drinks for all

Our guides, Dimitris and Antonis...

Amy J, Apr 2018

Our guides, Dimitris and Antonis were nothing short of AMAZING! They grew up in the area, which gave them rich knowledge of everything in Athens. Our children, ages 8 and 10 absolutely adored both of them and learned so much as did my husband and I that I highly recommend you book this tour. They tailored the tour towards our children as we requested, got down on their level, played games with them, took their time explaining everything, and truly made this an unforgettable experience. We saw ALL the major ruins, the underground train station which surprisingly also has ruins, the sight for the Olympic Games in the 1800's, Plaka, and the town flea market. It was unreal! Every minute spent was exciting, impressive and informative for all of us. We really could not have imagined a better first time experience in Athens during this tour. They knew all the local restaurants, and took us for a delicious Greek coffee and snack at a cool local hot spot that was not touristy. If you book one tour for the family, this is it... ...and definitely with the tour company - I would request and ensure this company guides you. They really want you to have an incredible experience. We sure did... ...and would do it all over again!
