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....

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

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!

Outstanding tour and guide

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!!

Loved

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!

Mythical adventure

Aga_W, May 2024

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!

Great tour! Recommend highly!

Nancy_T, Jun 2023

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.

Enlightening

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.

Great tour guide

Daksha_C, May 2022

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

Excellent tour

Jacqueline_L, Jun 2021

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
