We really enjoyed learning and hearing the stories of Greek mythology. We went to locations that we had not seen prior so it was all new and unique! Highly recommend!

Captivating storytelling of Greek mythology

Amazing experience with Cara, our guide! She told amazing stories about the Mitzen legends of Athens. Originally from Italy, she offered a really unique perspective on the city of Athens and Greek mythology. She was very friendly, and her stories captivated my two children ages 10 and 12 and me and my husband. She tied the storytelling together with modern day buildings as well. The tour was slow and steady, perfect for the evening scene in Athens, not too much walking or climbing required. I felt that this tour was a perfect way to recap, and end our trip to Athens. Excellent experience overall!

Great experience
