Great for my grandson, age 10, as well as the adults. My grandson knew a lot about Greek mythology already, but learned even more on the tour. The guide was very engaging.

This was a great activity for our family. Assuming your kids have an interest in mythology, it is a great way to walk around the city with them. Our guide was great and made sure to always have us work on activities in shaded spots. It doesn’t take the place of a full city tour, but is a great kid focused activity that they will hopefully remember for a long time.

Our adventure with Bianca is one we will always remember! She made each stop memorable with fun games, challenges, and riddles. My kids learned so much about Ancient Greece and said this was their favorite experience in Athens. We give 5/5 stars to Bianca!

Niki was great, full of Greek mythology stories. My kids were 12, 10 and 8, which unfortunately was too old for this tour. I contacted the tour company with this concern when I booked it, and was told the tour would be adjusted for their older ages. Unfortunately, the tour offered the same activities and games that I read about in other reviews of families with younger kids. This tour was expensive and what we got was not worth the money spent. It would be helpful if the tour company could adjust their activities based upon the ages of the kids or be honest about what they offer.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Catherine,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you appreciated Niki’s passion and storytelling — she’s a wonderful part of our team.
We’d like to take a moment to clarify a few important points about your experience:
The Greek Mythology Treasure Hunt is the top-rated kids’ tours in Greece, designed as a private experience combining education, fun, and interactivity. It follows a specific route through key mythological sites, but the delivery — the stories, the questions, the engagement — is always adapted by the guide to match the children’s ages. That’s why we proactively asked for the age of each child before your tour.
In your case, with children aged 8, 10, and 12, the guide tailored the content to include everyone — and as expected in any mixed-age group, some moments may feel slightly more or less challenging depending on age.
As for the price, the tour you booked was a fully private, over-4-hour experience, including high-quality activity materials, a break with refreshments covered by us, and personal guidance throughout — all at €78 per person, which is highly competitive for this category and quality level.
We do appreciate your comments, and we’ll keep refining our communication and internal processes to ensure expectations are always aligned. Your input helps us grow — thank you again.
Warm regards,

We had a lovely time. My kids were able to share their knowledge/love of Greek mythology and learn new information. Nikki was flexible and kind and a just a great listener. We loved the tour set up, the games, and the full four hours of adventure.

Our family had a great experience seeing parts of Athens that were not on our radar. Our guide was a great storyteller and the kids enjoyed the games along the way.

Niki was really great, the kids loved it and so did we. Our daughter stated that it was the best tour she has been on. We covered a lot of ground but because they were invested in the hunt they did not even realize it. I highly recommend it….
Rebecca_G, Feb 2025
This was an excellent family tour! Niki was super fun with our kids and we got thru a bunch of landmarks we had hoped to with our time in Athens. But it wasn’t just going thru landmarks but games and things to make it really fun and engaging for the kids but also interesting info for the adults. Highly recommend! And really appreciated Niki especially!

Antoniq was super nice, patient and professional. We loved her stories. My 4 yr old wqs able ro keep up and my 13 yrs sqid it was surprisingly fun. We all had fun!

This tour was a really excellent way for the kids to get a sense of ancient Athens and to learn about the Greek myths. The content of the tour was well thought out, with lots of activities and stories to engage the kids (aged 10 and 8). Our guide Antonia pitched it perfectly for the ages of the children.

My daughter (8) and I enjoyed this tour. It was a great way for my daughter to get oriented and immerse herself in Athens. Antonia was excellent, fun and knowledgeable. She engaged my daughter every minute and we all had fun. Great way to see ancient sites and cater to young kids interests and attention spans. Highly recommend it. Thank you, Antonia.

This was an awesome experience for our kids. Our guide was the best and our kids really enjoyed their time on this tour it really brought the history of Athens to life. We would highly recommend this activity for kids

We had a fabulous time on the Mythology treasure hunt. Our Guide, Antonia, was knowledgable, spoke brilliant English and had a great connection with our kids. It was fun, we all learned loads, and we went at our own pace (with a 2 year old!). Our older kids really enjoyed themselves, and loved the competitions, games and collecting points and numbers to crack the code. A lovely concept that worked really well and was delivered/pitched perfectly. Thank you Antonia.

Antonia is fantastic and knows how to entertain everyone from child to adult. Very knowledgeable and sweet
Ashley_C, Jul 2023
Our kids are 9 and 10 and loved this tour. You don’t go into any sites. You walk around the city and walk by some sites (like the Olympic stadium). Therefore, you’ll need a different tour to see the Acropolis and ruins/forum.
My kids said it was their favorite tour as they loved the stories and learning about different Greek Myths. We were surprised, but very happy we did it for our kids.
Wilma_B, Jun 2023
We had ages 8 through 16 and adults. It was definitely worth it. The kids enjoyed it and couldn't wait to open Pandora's box

We’re a family of four; our kids are 5 and 11 years old. This tour was absolutely amazing and far exceeded every hope and expectation I had. We were looking for a fun tour of Athens that would appeal to the adults but also entertain the kids. This tour was 4 hours of pure kid-friendly, adult-friendly, fun and learning. It is not easy to keep kids engaged and happy, but this tour was the perfect answer. I wish that every city had something similar.
Ask for Effie if you can. She was our fantastic tour guide. She was knowledge, animated, entertaining and wonderful with the kids.
5 stars!!

We absolutely loved our tour with Bianca. We have three boys (10, 7 and 3) and she found a way to involve each and every one of them. When our two oldest were shy and not participating at first she didn’t let it phase her and they came out of their shells and started just talking her ears off. She could read our family to a t and was really able to make sure we had the best experience based on energy levels and attitudes. She really is Greek openness and kindness epitomized.
The tour is a great way to get your bearings and find pieces of Athens for you and your family. We visited six specific locations with rhymes and kid led map reading to get us there. Each location had a story and activity and challenge. We even had challenges between locations (where the kids beat the adults in their myth knowledge 😂). When the children were completing their challenges Bianca would answer any questions we would have or explain something regarding Greek culture or history. Our kids were also completely fine with the amount of walking if that’s a concern (although we brought a carrier for our 3 year old for some portions).
We truly loved this tour and could not recommend enough. If you want to open the world of Athens to your young children, this is the tour to take. It was truly something special and we loved it.

The professionally and knowledge of the guide and how they engage the kids in making it a memorable experience.
Aimee_G, Jul 2022
This tour was a fantastic start to our vacation in Greece especially for our 8 year old son who has loved Greek mythology for 3-4 years. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Greek Mythology and was deft at telling the stories in a memorable manor. The treasure hunt program was well thought out and included games, challenges and lots of time to ask questions and learn more.
Angela_S, Jun 2022
My sons were very interested in Greek mythology and Bianca made learning more so much fun! She was wonderful and we all enjoyed the tour greatly!

My family had an amazing time during this tour. What made this special was Alexandra. She was engaging, told many stories during the tour and had impeccable local knowledge about the best places to dine and visit after the tour.
