Athens: Mythic Odyssey – Gods, Heroes & Iconic Wonders

Our family LOVED our tour with Demi in Athens! We booked the mythology tour as our 9 year old son loves Greek mythology. It was a huge hit! Demi was amazing. She told the stories so well and she was really kind to our children. The company was informative and communicative - we knew where to be and when and felt cared for. Having a guide take you up the Acropolis is worth every penny. We didn’t miss anything and even got a break at the top to wander on our own. I couldn’t recommend booking a tour through Alternative Athens more!

This for was so much fun. Our guide was very knowledgeable. I asked so many questions and she was able to explain. The sites were great. The hike was much easier then anticipated

Loved our time on the tour this morning. Angie was so informative and so kind and helpful. Loved hearing the stories and seeing the sights with all the new found background knowledge. Would recommend this tour to friends. Thank you so much!

Great tour - the guide was extremely informed and presented information in an interesting and fun way. She was mindful of the group and made sure everyone got to see what they wanted.

A tour is only as good as the guide. Dani was phenomenal! So much knowledge, well paced, kept the group together as much as possible without causing blockage to others. Also frequently tested our own knowledge of the Gods. Having studied mythology many many years ago i was pleased that my memory was still reasonably intact. But, Dani always had just a little bit more to add that we were not aware of. If we were to do it again, Dani would be our choice for a guide.

What a fabulous tour exploring the Acropolis and surrounding sites and introducing all the mythological stories and beliefs associated with them. We had the best 2 and a bit hours visiting the whole complex and listening to Angelica who was a fabulous story teller and guide.

Interesting to hear how everything is interconnected with the mythology and religion, fascinating slant on the tour. Our guide Sofia was fantastic! Really knowledgeable and passionate about the subject

We had a very nice morning on our mythology tour. Our guide was a mythology major and she was informative as to what we were looking at with all of the ruins around the city. A very good tour.

This was a fantastic tour with an excellent guide. I would highly recommend it for anybody who is interested in Greek mythology and to explore the Acropolis with an excellent guide

Wow! Absolutely loved our tour! Easy to find, they gave us a map at the start which was nice to be able to see the layout. Our guide also had an iPad and was able to show pictures to show descriptions and images of how things might have looked. He even showed us an app called Chronos that had a map he would show us where we where and as he went further into it it would show a 3D visual of what the structures would look like as if we were standing there in the space. I absolutely loved it! I mentioned in passing that I worked in surgery and surprisingly he made it a point to show us the Atheneans old version of a clinic building and showed us a picture of the old medical equipment that they excavated and is now in the museum. The group was small (about 11 of us) and he would make a point to stop in shady spots to tell us the Greek Myths and connect these story's to what we were seeing. My husband and I had a great time!!
