We did this with 6 adults-we all really enjoyed it! We learned new information about Greece history and culture. Cathereine was a great guide-added humor and interesting stories along the way. We recommend it highly!
Thank you so much for your review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the experience, and we’ll make sure to share your kind words with Catherine.
Jo, our guide was excellent and we got to explore places we never would have found ourselves, with lots of facts and interesting conversation! Food was great also! We booked the tour for our 12 year old who loves Greek Mythology and she really enjoyed it. Five stars!
Thank you so much for your review. We’re really glad you enjoyed exploring with Jo, and it’s great to hear your daughter loved the mythology experience.
I was looking for a kid friendly walking tour and this had positive reviews. As an adult, I am used to the more traditional cerebral type walking tour, but to see this deviation through their eyes was fun. You have a guide to help you along - and you get two stops for food (donuts and then a variety of Greek that was essentially enough for dinner) - but you’re playing a riddle game on your phone as you go. There’s also a small playground they ran around for a bit en route. They loved our guide Jo - she got accolades for being nice and cool even days later. Kids were 8 and 12. Would recommend for families in Athens.
Hello Ellen. Thank you warmly for your detail review. It will be really helpful for future customers. We will make sure to pass along your kind words to our guide and we hope to see you again in the future in one of our experiences.
This treasure hunt is a great alternative way to experience Athens and some of the history/myths connected to the city. This includes hidden gems, beautiful sights and food stops with traditional Greek food and sweets while solving riddles to learn more about Athens and its history.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are so happy that you enjoyed the activity. We hope to see you again in the future!
I did the Athena vs Poseidon Hybrid hunt with my 11-year old. We had such a good time with our guide Maria! She was sweet and helpful. The hunt itself it fun, because of the gems that you earn and we had delicious dessert & food (it was pretty much dinner!). We got to see a nice area of Athens we hadn’t explored before. Highly recommend this! The gems do not really give a reward, except for discounts at certain stores, but we didn’t really do it for the reward. Maria had a nice small gift for us anyway at the end. My daughter learnt about mythology and Athena & Poseidon’s fight and who won, which was most important. We did this on a very hot day during a heatwave at 6 pm and while it was warm, a lot of the hunt is in the shade, so it was ok.
What a wonderful, detailed review, Mirjam! It will surely help future customers know what to expect. We’ll definitely pass your kind words along to Maria—she’ll be very happy to hear that you enjoyed your game.
We had some fantastic hosts! Maria and Maria were great at getting us started on the app and helping us on our meeting points. We got to discover a great deal of athens and the recommendations for food were fabulous. We really enjoyed how much detailed information we got on the app too about all the different stops. From a booking perspective the team were great too. We were unlucky enough to first book on the day of the transport strikes but were quickly rebooked to another day. We originally planned this for our first day in athens and I think it's a great way of getting to know the city. However even on our 3rd day in athens we found areas we hadn't seen before and those areas we had already visited we got to know a lot more about so still really worth doing!
Hello Cheryl, and thank you for this detailed review. It means the world to us! We’ll make sure to pass it on to Maria No. 2 as well—it was her training day, and this will make her really happy. Thank you again for your trust, and we hope to see you again soon!
We had a great guide Maria who helped us if we needed clues to the riddles. My 10 year old son had a great time learning not only about the Gods but also some of the local history. Our two food stops were delicious as well. Highly recommend this tour.
We're so happy to hear that you had a great time on the Treasure Hunt & Tour! Wishing you an amazing rest of your trip—enjoy every moment!
We have the best time on our tour with Maria! Taking part in this was such a great way to see the ancient and modern aspects of the city. We also went to a couple of restaurants that we would not have gone to otherwise. We also went to some places that we otherwise would not have gone. This would be a great activity for a couple like us or a family with children at least in third grade or above.
We warmly thank you for your kind review. We also appreciated the energy and enthusiasm you brought to the game. Best wishes!
My husband and I had the best time doing this. It was a great way to see a mix of ancient and modern in Athens. Our guide, Maria, was absolutely wonderful. She picked some amazing places for us to stop and eat at along the way. we got to see parts of Athens that we would not otherwise have seen. The game was also fun and informative. I would highly recommend this for couples or families as it is very engaging and you work at your own pace.
We had a lovely time with Maria helping us throughout game ~ we were able to taste some authentic Greek food as well as discover some alleys and streets of Athens that we might otherwise not have seen! I would absolutely recommend this activity when in Athens :)
Hello Chloe. We are delighted that you enjoyed so many aspects of this experience. We wish you the best and we hope to see you again in one of our explorations!
