Renia was amazing: we discussed Aristotle’s ÉTICA at his place. We could feel him at the atmosphere!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Aristotle’s ethics in the historic setting of the Lyceum. Discussing philosophy where Aristotle once taught creates a truly unique and immersive experience in Athens. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Renia, and we hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable educational activities in Athens!
a great opportunity to enchance on Aristotle and his aspects of living while walking through the same paths that he did. definetely a recomendation when visiting Athens
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed exploring Aristotle’s philosophy. Experiences that connect ancient wisdom with meaningful travel are what make visiting Athens truly unforgettable.
We met at Aristotle's Lyceum and discussed Aristotle's ethical philosophy and Plato's ideas. This Compo Philosophy workshop was the best way to understand the thinking of the ancient Greek philosophers. We are very grateful to our instructor, who answered all our questions.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring Aristotle’s ethics with the extra hour on Plato’s philosophy with us at Aristotle’s Lyceum. We strive to make our philosophy workshops among the most meaningful and engaging experiences in Athens for anyone curious about ancient Greek thought. We hope to welcome you again for another journey into the wisdom of classical Greece!
We participated as a family in the seminar at Aristotle High School, with my two teenage daughters. While we had interrogations about whether they would like it, they went crazy. Especially in the debate they gave it all. What the best a family with older children can do in Athens!
Σας ευχαριστούμε θερμά για την υπέροχη κριτική σας! Είναι όμορφο να ξέρουμε ότι η εμπειρία αυτή έγινε μια ξεχωριστή οικογενειακή δραστηριότητα για σας!
We were very fortunate to have Eva from Hellas Revival be our facilitator and guide over two afternoons in Greece. I am a university educator who had brought a group of students from Canada as part of a course on the Origins of Western Civilization that I am teaching. Eva was phenomenal, offering detailed and relevant histories of key sites of the Acropolis and Slopes, from Dionysus' Theatre, Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Erectheion and of course, the Parthenon. Eva combined architectural, archaeological, and historical details that enlivened and enlightened the experience for young learners with little background in these areas. She had an engaging pedagogic style that paused and asked for questions. This ability was also on display in our more focused Aristotle workshop, held at the historic site of Aristotle's Lyceum. Eva provided us an engaging walk aroudn before leading the students through an exceptional workshop in Aristotelian virtues that seamlessly connected the philsopher's ancient teachings to situations that they would encounter in their everyday life. Indeed, in this way, Evan showed the value and relevance of Aristotelian philosophy for us today, which is an ideal learning outcome of my course. Eva was also gracious in taking group pictures, answering questions, and sharing other insights. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed and positive review! We do our best to provide educational, interactive experiences and our Eva is indeed phenomenal in sharing information while engaging the participants. Your active participation is the power that keeps us moving! Mrs. Eva sends her warmest regards to you all!
A thought provoking experience. The tour is suited for all so encourage people with no prior knowledge to also book this tour. Highly recommend the tour.
Thank you for your kind words Lisha!
This is a fun, unique experience for those who enjoy learning while traveling, and a lot more engaging than anything you’ll get in a museum or on a big group tour. My boyfriend and I went into this without a lot of background knowledge, but that did not hold us back at all. Alex was a great workshop leader and made us feel comfortable asking questions and sharing our own ideas.
Dear Alice, thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience! We are glad you enjoyed philosophizing in Aristotle's footsteps!
Eva was outstanding. Her knowledge and great communication skills were perfect for this tour. She is very engaging and smart. She personalized the experience for us.
Dear Carleen, Thank you so much, I’m very glad you enjoyed the workshop! It was my pleasure to meet you and have such an interesting conversation with you! I wish you all the best and hope we meet again!
We had amazing time with Olga! The whole experience was engaging and awakening, Aristotle's philosophy was simply explained with examples from everyday life. Plus there is a brief historical introduction which explains a lot about ancient Athens' development.
Dear Franky, Thank you for your kind words! I am so glad I managed to share my love for Aristotle with you and your lovely wife. Looking forward to seeing you next year at Plato's workshop!
If you are looking for an authentic experience, look no further. Olga provided a wonderful experience as we took a journey into the minds of the great historic philosophers. The experience was well crafted with much interactive components. I especially enjoyed the exploration of virtues. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Dear Ray, Thank you so much for your kind words! We enjoyed our ''peripatos'' with you and your sister so much; your contribution to the conversation was significant.
