Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens: Tours & Tickets

I am a big tour lover, and also a total Greek Mythology geek. I know many of the ancient Myths but this tour blew my mind. Alexandria was a wonderful speaker and soooo knowledgeable about the history of Greece and mythology. I asked her some ridiculous questions about the tribes of Ancient Greece and she knew everything, all the names, where they came from, what happened to them, wars etc. I was so impressed. The tour is LONG but once you take it all the ancient monuments are done- it covers everything. It was a great use of our limited time in Athens and set the stage for us as we continued to travel around the country. Also the tour was easy to find in the am and we weren’t confused, something I’ve dealt with when meeting other tours in the past.

Our guide was Costas and he spoke excellent English and made everything interesting. Group was relatively small at about 16 people, there was never a time when it was difficult to hear. He went out of his way to make sure we did not lose people or to find lost people rather than just giving up on them.

The tour guide was absolutely wonderful. She was obviously well educated and passionate about the tour topics, but she also made it incredibly enjoyable for my two children (ages 7 and 8). We could not have asked for a more lovely and appropriate guide in Athens!

Our guide helped my family connect with Athens and mythology without feeling like a lecture. We felt involved and interested in how each story would end.

Angeliki is an amazing guide,her stories and knowledge,picture aids gave me an amazing perspective and understanding of the monuments,artifacts we were witnessing. The 5 hour walk was full of awe and highlight of my Athens visit.This tour will be a very good start of your Athens trip.
