Testimonials

"This was the perfect way to see Athens main attractions, the tour guide was very passionate about the information she was sharing with us. Great experience overall."

"My three kids, ages 8, 6, and 4, had a fantastic time during their "Playing Goddess Athena" tour. The activities were both engaging and educational. My kids loved it and name it as one of the highlights of our 2+ weeks in Greece. I brought a book and my husband went off to see more historical sites that wouldn't interest the children. Highly recommend."

"We loved all of the food we tried with our guide. We were only in Athens for one day on a cruise and still had time to explore Athens some more after the tour. We had a great time!"
