We had an excellent experience on the Myths and Games tour with Michael. What really set this tour apart was having an actual qualified teacher, specialising in Greek language and history, leading the experience. His knowledge was outstanding, but even more impressive was his ability to make the stories engaging and accessible for both adults and children. The tour focused on the legends and history surrounding the 12 Labours of Heracles, and Michael brought these ancient tales to life through a combination of storytelling, discussion, and hands-on games. Rather than simply listening to information, the children were actively involved throughout, learning through play and taking part in activities linked to the myths. The cool, shaded surroundings made the experience particularly enjoyable, especially during the summer heat, and provided the perfect setting for the games and activities. Our children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were still talking about the stories and challenges afterwards. This was a wonderful way to introduce children to Greek mythology and history in a fun, memorable, and educational way. We would highly recommend it to families looking for something that goes beyond a standard sightseeing tour.
