Nicky was absolutely amazing. Was a fantastic way to see Athens!
This was a very fun experience for my wife, 8 year old son and I. We got to visit many of the key sites of Athens beyond the Acropolis and Parthenon, which we had been to the prior day. Nikki, was our guide, and she did a wonderful job of brining the sites and stories to life. Specially for our son, she had a lot of fun challenges, which made the stories even more exciting for him. We chose a private tour for the 3 of us, since we weren't sure how long our son would stay engaged. And this allowed us to move faster through some of the sites, without missing anything in the experience. Overall, we highly recommend this tour as a way to learn more about the great history of Athens, in a fun way.
We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Niki was an incredible tour guide and share so much culture and knowledge about Athens as well as Greek mythology. The tour was appropriately timed and was so much fun. I highly recommend reserving an early tour time with as hot as it can get in the summer.
Niki was a fantastic guide who kept my 7 & 9 year old children engaged and excited throughout the tour. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour to families visiting Athens!
Children and parents equally enjoyed our time with Vicky & Bianca. They were super knowledgeable and made sure we were all engaged. I wish we had more time to learn and chat with them. Personally, I’m excited to visit again and do a Philosophy tour with Bianca
Our private scavenger hunt tour across Athens’ Panathenaic Stadium and National Garden was pure magic for our Percy Jackson obsessed 9 year old, who instantly recognized Greek god and goddess connections from the books and even hilariously schooled our guide on Riordan lore and mythology details she didn’t know. The guide kept him buzzing with excitement through every clue and challenge, turning the ancient sites into an epic quest that felt tailor made for kids who love Greeking Out or demigod adventures.
Great for my grandson, age 10, as well as the adults. My grandson knew a lot about Greek mythology already, but learned even more on the tour. The guide was very engaging.
This was a great activity for our family. Assuming your kids have an interest in mythology, it is a great way to walk around the city with them. Our guide was great and made sure to always have us work on activities in shaded spots. It doesn’t take the place of a full city tour, but is a great kid focused activity that they will hopefully remember for a long time.
Our adventure with Bianca is one we will always remember! She made each stop memorable with fun games, challenges, and riddles. My kids learned so much about Ancient Greece and said this was their favorite experience in Athens. We give 5/5 stars to Bianca!
Niki was great, full of Greek mythology stories. My kids were 12, 10 and 8, which unfortunately was too old for this tour. I contacted the tour company with this concern when I booked it, and was told the tour would be adjusted for their older ages. Unfortunately, the tour offered the same activities and games that I read about in other reviews of families with younger kids. This tour was expensive and what we got was not worth the money spent. It would be helpful if the tour company could adjust their activities based upon the ages of the kids or be honest about what they offer.
Dear Catherine, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you appreciated Niki’s passion and storytelling — she’s a wonderful part of our team. We’d like to take a moment to clarify a few important points about your experience: The Greek Mythology Treasure Hunt is the top-rated kids’ tours in Greece, designed as a private experience combining education, fun, and interactivity. It follows a specific route through key mythological sites, but the delivery — the stories, the questions, the engagement — is always adapted by the guide to match the children’s ages. That’s why we proactively asked for the age of each child before your tour. In your case, with children aged 8, 10, and 12, the guide tailored the content to include everyone — and as expected in any mixed-age group, some moments may feel slightly more or less challenging depending on age. As for the price, the tour you booked was a fully private, over-4-hour experience, including high-quality activity materials, a break with refreshments covered by us, and personal guidance throughout — all at €78 per person, which is highly competitive for this category and quality level. We do appreciate your comments, and we’ll keep refining our communication and internal processes to ensure expectations are always aligned. Your input helps us grow — thank you again. Warm regards,
