Awesome experience, easy to find location, friendly trainer! This activity is fun for adults, kids, teenagers, anyone who likes history. Fun way to learn while getting some exercise. The trainer was patient with my questions. He had homemade equipment that was safe and easy to use. Would definitely recommend!
Everything was amazing, Gregory was seriously so passionate and knowledgeable. I recommend this to everyone!
Fantastic experience! I absolutely recommend this to everybody, no matter what age or knowledge. Gregorios is an incredible guide with a deep understanding of history and goes the distance to ensure the experience is pleasant and fun. I learned many aspects of practical knowledge of history that books and classrooms struggle to convey. I will recommend this to all friends and family.
Gregory was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of fighting, we had a wonderful time learning history while having fun! He was wonderful with including everyone and making sure that we all had a great time. He worked around our scheduling conflict and made sure that timing worked for us. I would definitely recommend giving it a shot!
My husband and 2 teenage sons loved this Warrior Educational/Training experience. It was athletic with boxing, wrestling, battle strategy, swordsmanship and more with an ancient Greek hostorical twist. This was a great add-on experience to looking at ruins and museums.
This was a surprise activity for my hen do, planned by my bridesmaids. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Really interesting with lots of historical facts, and we loved getting to try out the fighting stances and training! Highly recommend
This was a brilliant experience for our family (two adults, two children, 10 and 13). It was a really interesting mixture of history, science, military strategy, and physical education/pretend combat. The guide tailored the experience as we went along and answered all the children’s questions. Would highly recommend to families visiting Athens, especially with children keen to learn history in a fun and interactive way.
This was such a fun experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about ancient Greek and Roman fighting styles and armor. He was also very attuned to our children's (ages 6 and 9) short attention spans and kept the session fun and engaging. He had swords and shields for the little ones so that they can fully participate. He took lots of pictures and videos for us and was overall a very pleasant person. This was the highlight of our trip.
Late booking meant I had the session with just my son and I! Had great fun. Very informative, hands-on and well-pitched for kids. Would recommend.
Very nice experience with a very knowledgeable guide. Thanks a lot, Cécile
