Superb tour of Athens and its foods - A brilliant experience that combined fantastic food stops with orientation in Athens. We did this tour at the beginning of our stay and set us up really well for the rest of the week - both in terms of what to eat and visit. The tour was so enjoyable for adults and kids (aged 6-10) alike!

Athens warrior experience - Bring your questions about how things were done. Great way to understand Athens through historic activities of soldiers through generals. Gregorios presented in English and adjusted the presentation/activities to match the interests and maturity of the participants. We mimic'd the training exercises of soldiers and practiced the exercises that led to the Olymipic Games. We gained appreciation for why brillant Generals with disciplined Troops will carry the day. Whole heartedly recommend for all ages. Parking (a challenge in Athens) was surprizingly easy.

History + LARP Training - We had so much fun with this experience! Between all the museums and archaeological sites of Athens, this activity allowed us (adults in our 30s) to be outdoors and sneak in a workout while also learning in an interactive way. Our instructor's passion for history and martial arts was infectious. In the two (2) hours, we got a mini-lecture on Greek martial history, armor, and battle tactics, followed by hands on training with spears, shields, and swords as well as an introduction to wrestling and boxing. As a teacher, Gregorios was mindful of our learning and physical differences, adapting his instructions and our equipment as needed. He answered every question we had about Greek history and brought along visual aids. If you can, give it a go!

Phalanx training / history lesson - An absolute MUST for any history or martial arts fan. Gregory has a very great historical knowledge and also does the classic Greek martial arts (wrestling/boxing). Suitable for all ages. Like any good coach, he adapts to the skill level of his students.

Amaaaaaaaazing experience - five stars is not enough ⭐️ - Five stars is not enough! We do lots of warrior experiences as we have two history savvy sons. This one was the best by far!! Grigoris created and experience that incorporates talks with sensory experiences to create lasting knowledge and wonderful memories. I’m a psychologist and I couldn’t think of a better way to infuse not only knowledge but passion for Greek history! I’m so so happy to have started our Greek adventure with this experience, and cannot recommend it more to anyone who wishes to get an overview of Greek history.

Amazing Hands On Learning Experience! - Did the Greek Warrior experience with Gregory and had an amazing time. We were a group of 4 women (between 20 to 60 years old) and Gregory tailored the experience to our group's interests and physical abilities. Learned so much about the military history of Athens while also getting into the mindset of a hoplite for a few hours! Cannot recommend this experience more, was a great way to really connect to the history and Gregory was an amazing teacher and historian!
