Must-do tour for Greek mythology enthusiasts (both young & old!) - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to families, especially those with young kids. The tour was engaging and thoughtfully paced, making the incredible history of the Acropolis and Greek mythology come alive for all of us!
Our awesome guide, Anna, skillfully wove mythology, history, and architecture into a narrative that kept us completely absorbed! Our 10-year-old, who loves Greek mythology, found the re-telling of the stories and the connections to the monuments absolutely fascinating and remembers it as her best part of the vacation! Our 7-year-old, who was less familiar with Greek mythology before the trip, also came away excited and eager to learn more — something that wouldn’t have happened without Anna’s engaging style and ability to make the material relatable to younger kids.
One of the things we appreciated most was that the Anna never rushed us. She allowed us to take in the sites at our own pace, answering all our questions thoughtfully. It felt less like a formal tour and more like a knowledgeable family member taking us along a journey through history. Extra kudos to her for ensuring that we got great family pics at every key spot along the tour!!
The visit to the Acropolis Museum was equally impressive. Having a tour guide like Anna made a huge difference in helping us appreciate not just the beauty of the artifacts but also their context and significance.
Overall, the tour exceeded our expectations and struck a perfect balance between educational depth and kid-friendly storytelling. It made what could have felt overwhelming into a truly memorable experience for our whole family!!

Great tour company - We took this tour with Sappo as our tour guide. Everything went great. We have been to the Acropolis before without a guide … a lot gets lost unless you have someone to explain the Acropolis and the museum. This tour was great because it was geared towards kids. We all had a great time and learned a ton. The company was professional and responded quickly during correspondence.

A fascinating all-ages tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum - An absolutely brilliant tour which was the highlight of our stay in Athens. Our guide Georgina was excellent - incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful and able to answer all our questions. We found having her there to guide us allowed us a much better insight into what we were seeing and we learned so much about these fascinating sites. Strongly recommended for visitors to Athens. Our children (8 and 10) also loved it.

Well worth having a guide - The Acropolis is, of course, an essential stop for any tourist in Athens for the first time. The history, the architecture, the myths, and the view. But how to see it. We arranged our visit with this tour company, and our guide, Tina, added so much to the visit. She got us going early enough to beat the crowdes that were really mobbing the site as we were on our way down.
Tina's knowledge of the mythology, history and architecture was broad and interesting. She did an excellent job of explaining things in an interesting way and of relating what we had seen at the acropolis to the exhibits in the museum

Great experience that I would recommend to anyone. - Tour could not have been better. Very informative - made the ancient site come alive. Our tour of the new museum focused on the most important parts and was much more meaningful after the tour of the site. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, warm and efficient.

Incredible Experience - Exceptional Guide - I took the Acropolis tour with my 80-year-old mom on a hot July morning. Our tour guide Lydia was incredible. She was knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful. My mother had trouble with the heat a number of times, and Lydia was amazing both in accommodating that (finding shade, helping arrange a taxi instead of a short walk back to the museum, informing my mom and me about how many steps, etc. were to come). Her ability to think on her feet and still provide us a complete tour - we didn’t miss a thing - left me speechless. Additionally, my mom and I were so impressed by her deep well of knowledge of art, history, and architecture, and her passion for sharing it. Hands down one of the best tours I have experienced, and I’ve been on a few! 😂 Highly highly recommend!

Amazing Private Tour of the Acropolis and its museum, highly recommend! - We had an incredible private mythology guided tour of the Acropolis and its museum in Athens with guide Anna. She showed an immense amount of knowledge and passion for the history and mythology of Ancient Athens. You brought the Acropolis to life with your captivating stories and in-depth knowledge of its history, architecture, and culture. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she kept my 9-year-old son engaged throughout the entire tour. Anna's ability to explain complex historical details in an interesting and accessible way made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Thank you, Anna, for an unforgettable tour!

Mythology, then history - Our guide was very very steeped in the mythology behind the construction and history of the Acropolis. That’s what we wanted, although I could see someone wanting more history than mythology.
