Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our family of four (2 kids 9 and 11) had a wonderful tour with Markella! She was so engaging with the kids and knowledgeable about the history. She went at a speed that the group could handle and answered all of our questions. She is a lovely person and we highly recommend booking a tour with her! Wish we had more time in Athens to try a different tour with Markella as well!"
"We loved our tour with Yanni, which he adjusted to our requested specifications. It was a perfect blend of history, culture, and mythology, we didn't have to walk a ton in the heat, and he had a really nice way with the kids and telling stories! "
"So knowledgeable, friendly, willing to customize tour for what we wanted. Would definitely recommend. "
"We were on the Mythology tour with John, and it was a highlight of our time in Athens. He kept the tour fun, engaging, and highly informative. The pacing was great, he made modifications for what we were interested in, and kept us entertained. My 70-year-old parents raved about it when it was over, and my 14 year old was all smiles. We highly recommend John! "
"We loved our tour with Costas. Not only was he knowledgeable about ancient and current Greece but he also had lots of knowledge about plants and music. He taught us how to read Greek and would relate the words back to their English counterparts. It made the tour super interesting and we learned so much! We would definitely recommend Costas! "
"If you want a tour about the history of Athens, mythology and a bit of fun, well John is your man. We had a fantastic time touring this beautiful city and learning how, and where, mythology touches the fabric of this city. We thought we knew mythology, but John gave us a PhD-level class. We loved every minute. "
"Alexandros took us around Athens, pointing out things we might have missed or overlooked all while sharing a localβs knowledge of both the past and present Athens. Highly recommend. "
"Our half day with John was much appreciated by the entire family. John has in depth knowledge about history, mythology and Greek society and the ability to present and discuss it in a natural way and answered every little question with interest and commitment. We didn't now it in advance, but hanging out with John, turned out to be the most appreciated activity during our five days in Athens. πππππ Don't miss out on this! "
"Our family had a nice tour with Dionysis. He was able to be flexible with our shift in timing and was extremely knowledgeable about history and Greek Mythology. "

Journey into the captivating world of Ancient Greek Theatre in Athens, where drama, history, and culture intertwine. Explore the origins, evolution, and lasting legacy of this theatrical tradition with our private tours.
Ancient Greek theatre emerged in Athens around the 6th century BC, evolving from religious rituals honoring Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. These early performances laid the foundation for Western drama as we know it today and would become an essential part of Athenian culture, education and life
Tragedy, comedy, and satyr plays formed the core of ancient Greek theatre. Tragedians like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides explored profound themes of fate, morality, and human suffering. Comedies by Aristophanes provided satirical commentary on Athenian society, and bawdy satyr plays, often featuring mythological creatures, offered a ribald form of entertainment
Ancient Greek theatre was deeply intertwined with religious festivals. The City Dionysia, a major Athenian festival, hosted dramatic competitions where playwrights showcased their new works. Theatre became a public spectacle and vital cultural expression, fostering a sense of community and shared identity. Imagine stepping into the shoes of an ancient Athenian and experience the vibrant energy of these events
The Theatre of Dionysus, nestled on the slopes of the Acropolis, was the principal venue for Athenian drama. Its open-air design, with a circular orchestra and tiered seating, accommodated thousands of spectators. Euripides, one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, premiered many of his plays here
