Fun, energetic, and active experience!

Jocelyn_B, Mar 2026

What a fun, energetic, and active experience! Charis was an incredible guide and did a wonderful job engaging with us adults and our 10-year-old and 13-year-old. We had gotten in very late into Athens and she did a great job keeping us awake that afternoon. 😁 We also hired her to do a tour of the Acropolis with us and we learned so much. What an incredible way to begin our vacation! Very much recommend this experience with Charis!

An amazing and fun experience

An amazing start to our time in Athens! Charis was able to draw out my usually shy son to participate with such enthusiasm. Super fun for the whole family!

Fun at the Acropolis

Charis was so knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time and learned a lot about Athens. The scavenger hunt takes place around the base of the Acropolis and is a great way to see the area

Acropolis Treasure Hunt

We booked this last minute to fill out our Athenian itinerary and it turned out to be a great way to get introduced to the Acropolis and its surrounding areas. Charis instantly clicked with my 8 year old daughter and joked that she would keep her to do tours with her going forward. She made sure to include my more introverted 4 year old daughter, and did a great job of incorporating my wife and I in the treasure hunt. The weather was very warm but she found us water spots to refill our bottles and maneuvered around seeking out shade to help keep us cool. It's a great way of getting the whole family involved and simultaneously learning.

Wonderful time treasure hunting

Charis and her husband have created such a fun and amazing game! My mom and I had a great time figuring out all of the clues and learning more about Athens at the same time. Charis was a knowledgeable and kind guide and also gave us some tips afterward to make sure we took advantage of our time here in Greece. If I could give her 100 stars I would!

It's like a fun, outdoor escape room with history!

It ended up being only my boyfriend and I booked for this experience, so I was happy it did not get cancelled. Instead, Charis was like our own, personal tour guide while we walked around the Acropolis solving clues to find the "missing professor." The puzzles were fun and different than the usual escape rooms I have participated in. Some really stretched our minds. It was nice to use the outdoor surroundings and history Charis was teaching us to help solve everything. She was very informative- we learned much more than we would have than by just reading the placards at the various sites. Charis also ensured we had no questions before moving on- it was not a rushed experience. Afterward, she sent us a cool animated video that showed everything we viewed in the ruins as they may have looked back then, which was a great way to tie the history to real events. This was a fun way to spend a few hours of our morning. I highly recommend it!

Parfait pour aider les enfants à découvrir les secrets de l'acropole en s'amusant !

Sebastien_M, Aug 2023

L'activité était tout aussi amusante qu'intéressante. Notre guide était parfaite, impliquée, patiente et charmante ! Ma fille a adoré !

Un buen complemento

Jorge_C, Aug 2022

Gran amabilidad! Buena adaptación al grupo, con niños desde los 7 años hasta los 17. Llegamos tarde y nos esperó. Buena Estructura del juego. Tal vez …. Los amables consejos para resolver los puzzles llegaban demasiado pronto. Buena experiencia para que los niños den un paseo alrededor del Arópolos (no pretende sustituir a una visita guiada)
