Penelope was our guide and she was absolutely fantastic. We had our children with us and she tailored her style and stories to keep their interest. We learned so much & enjoyed the lessons and the walk. We highly recommend Penelope and this tour for anyone interested in learning about the mythology & even some of the much lesser known stories.
Penelope was our knowledgeable and experienced guide. She made ancient Greek mythological history come alive. She welcomed questions and gave thoughtful answers. When she found out my profession, she related some ancient Greek mythological figures to my profession which I thought was awesome. Not that this is a thing one should expect, but she made sure that we were out of the direct sun and we were not too hot. I really appreciated that because we had two gingers and a Blondie in our group. :) Highly recommend.
Very informative guide. If you are interested in Greek mythology, it’s a must. If you have no idea regarding this subject matter, strongly suggest to read up on it before the tour - otherwise, you will have a hard time following it. Very well done . Tour guide was great
Very knowledable guide. Enjoyed her talk very much. Make the twisted history of the gods easy to follow.

Penelope was brilliant! Amazing knowledge of greek mythology and kept us engaged for the whole tour. Exactly what we wanted! We left feeling like greek mythology pros. Highly recommend to anyone interested in greek mythology :)
As it turned out, my wife and I were the only tour members signed up but Penelope gave us an excellent tour! She had such a vast understanding of Greek history and the mythological connections between the Gods and other figures. She was also very considerate making sure we could rest if needed while walking us around the city. Absolutely wonderful!!
