Our trip would feel incomplete without this knowledge

Brianna_C, Apr 2026
Mael was an amazing guide. This was one of the last stops for us in Athens and anyone would benefit from having it sooner in your itinerary. We had already done the big sites and scarcely saw any information like Mael shared. Everyone knows that history, but this felt special and was totally missing from what we’d seen already. She brings back to life figures that have long been forgotten and adds contexts to the political history of Athens. Really engaging and a wonderful pace for me (expecting at 5 months). She also had great local recommendations which we took her up on and were not disappointed.

You have to experience this!

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Greek history, especially women’s history. She was clearly very passionate about the topic and eager to share knowledge!

Highlight of our trip

Lolita_M, Sep 2024
This tour was one of our favorite parts of our trip! Maelle was an incredible tour guide, super engaging and helpful, the tour in itself is very interesting as it really sparks an interest and intrigue of how women moved in ancient times. We learned so much and days after the tour we kept on discussing the themes and the characters that we learned about. It’s a very special tour for those who want to learn a bit more of Ancient Greek life.

Very complementary tour

Tour very rich in information and interactive. Maëlle is a pedagogue, attentive to target our expectations, and has a very broad culture to adapt and enrich the tour she offers.
