Fantastic Evening walk with memorable location views. - Our guide Michael made sure that we covered the history of Athens, it's Gods and some of the important sites. He provided us with ancient Greek history knowledge and ensured that we got to know the Gods and their links to each other. While walking around, we were able to see and photograph some of the notable buildings. This proved to be an evening well spent. Michael sent a message earlier in the day in order to check that we knew where to meet. Unfortunately, due to a slight phone problem I did not receive it until after the start time so, I had not replied. At the end of the tour he took us to the station and sorted out tickets and which lines to use in order for us to get back to our hotel. This was our first visit to Athens and as it was our first day, we needed help, which he provided making sure that we knew where to go and how to get back to the hotel. Michael was an excellent guide and it was great to spend the evening with him.

Marvelous myths - Michael was a lovely, patient and informative guide. Sharing stories about both popular and lesser known myths without shying away from the more gruesome details. Highly recommended for lovers of myth, stories and horror.

Informative, funny and well paced mythology tour with a friendly host - Brilliant tour of athens learning the often gorey but interesting mythology tales. Michael was an excellent host and story teller. Retelling the myths and linking to the areas visited. Our group was small which allowed even greater conversation and discussion. Unlike some reviews we found him very easy to find and had great communication from him for the tour (no idea how some state they struggled). Great value for money as the experience took a couple of hours and was so enjoyable. He even gave local advice for food and places to visit during the tour. Would highly recommend to all visiting Athens who wanted to learn more about the mythology or even just more about the history of Athens.

Do not miss this tour! - I joined a small group and had a great time. I knew how cruel the stories told can be but Micheal was excellent in telling and connecting everything with little extras along the way. Michael also encouraged the group to ask questions, which resulted in more stories and insights about the past and present of athens. I will book it again to experience the percy jackson experience if I visit athens again.

10/10 - could not recommend this tour enough! - I would really recommend this tour. Michael is so knowledgeable on the topic of mythology, and he brings it to life in a way that mixes both the dark and humorous. Michael was very engaging and made sure any questions we had were answered. He also provided us great recommendations on the local area. Once again, could not recommend this tour enough to anyone interested in the darker side of Greek Mythology - thank you Michael for an amazing time!
