My family enjoyed this thoroughly. My children are 30, 28 & 18 and they had so much fun learning history and competing against others and learning the history of the Olympics. Our guide was friendly and got everyone engaged in the activities. We are very happy with our experience.
Very fun, informative, and active. Also a different activity than you’d probably do while in Greece which added some needed variety!
I expected more of a workout- this was closer to an informative introduction to early Olympics and history with demonstrations on javelin throw, discus and shot put as well as standing broad jump. It was an entertaining 2 hour morning.
There was a range of activities and information throughout, and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
You learn about history of the Olympic Games. Tour guides stay engaged with you the entire time. I knew part of it was outside the stadium, but I didn’t realize most of it was at other walkable locations. Run, “wrestle”, javelin throw (foam), shot put (rubber), long jump, discus (rubber), and then running short sprints inside the stadium.
Myrto is energetic, patient, and so kind. We learned how to throw the discus, javelin, shotput, long jump, and we ran around the Olympic stadium. This is a great activity for families. My husband is athletic and really enjoyed this booking. We'll be seeing you at the 2028 Olympics, Myrto! 🔥💪🏼
This was a lot of fun. We lucked out because we did it during shoulder season so I can't speak to the experience during busier times. It ended up being a private tour for my family (incl wife and daughter). Our daughter loves sports and is super competitive. She found it incredibly fun learning how to perform some of the olympic events. Our guide was friendly and engaging, and made the experience a lot of fun for all of us.
This was a fun and active way to learn about a bit of modern Greek history and to engage with an Athens local. Evie was a fantastic guide to the Olympic games and she also provided some other great insights and recommendations for making the most of Athens. The whole family enjoyed trying our hand at various Olympic pursuits and running a lap at the Panathenaic Stadium, which is an epic edifice.
My family and I weren't really sure what to expect. When we initially arrived, the GPS coordinates sent us to the wrong location. However, that was quickly rectified as Adreanna was able to spot us. The whole experience was a lot of fun. My son thoroughly enjoyed himself, not to mention learning lots about the ancient Olympics. We would highly recommend.
This was a FUN and educational experience. Adriana was such a pleasant tour guide. She gave us a bunch of insight on Athens first "Olympic games". Would REALLY recommend to families ranging from 8 years of age and up. OR really competitive adults.
