A lovely Evening with Greek Mythology! - Michael was wonderful! He is patient and accommodating. It me and my 14 years old son. The tour takes about 2 hours walking around the footsteps of the Acropolis at night. Michael took us on a magical trip with Greek mythology with all its good, bad, and tragic with a bit of history infused here and there. Highly recommended.

Amazing out of the box evening tour - Interesting mythological stories, interactive games, beautiful night views of the city and our guide (Michael) was super enthousiast. He really knows what he is talking about and gets you into the story... we loved it!!! If you are searching for something else than the classic tours, you definitely can't miss it

A magical experience! - What a wonderful time! Michael is quite the expert in his field indeed. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves on this private-feeling tour (in fact, he says it’s his favorite thing that we’ve done) as well as enjoyed getting to know our fellow travelers, two other couples from different parts of the world. We laughed at Michael’s sass, jokes, and honesty throughout the stories. we also asked many questions, and learned a jaw dropping amount about Greek god mythology. Horrifyingly great!! We recommend this hidden gem to all those with a curious mind and love for storytelling.

If I could give this more than 5/5 stars I would. - Michael was a wonderful host and storyteller for a workshop / sort of tour that was one of the highlights of our visit to the wonderful city of Athens. Michael walked us through the city while sharing a variety of stories that, as is inevitable when the gods get involved, end in horrible tragedy. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, and while there are a few stops at landmarks, the experience really feels more like a casual stroll through the city while nerding out about Greek myth. If you’re the type of person who is considering this because the title of the workshop sounds like something you’d enjoy, then you will definitely enjoy it. It is absolutely worth doing—just try not to draw the ire of the gods along the way.

Fantastic tour that is absolutely worth it. You’ll have a great time :) - This was a fantastic tour. I like how personable the experience was. All of the stories were really interesting and Michael really knows his stuff! He was absolutely lovely and respectful while dealing with intense subject matter. This tour was also great because it required walking between story locations but we were able to sit while the stories were being told. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Athens to get a fun and dramatic lesson on Ancient Greece and its mythology.
