Percy et Méduse : chasse au trésor et visite guidée de la mythologie familiale

Catherine led us on a great adventure! It was hot, and we had a great time walking around the Plaka and solving Perseus's dilemma in the Narratologies app! Catherine's background in archaeology gave us some great insights along our way!

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ A Fun Family Adventure Through Ancient Athens Our family had a wonderful time on the Percy & Medusa Mythology Treasure Hunt in Athens! If you have kids who enjoy Greek mythology—or are fans of Percy Jackson—this is a unique and engaging way to explore the city's incredible history. Our guides were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, enthusiastic, energetic, and did a wonderful job keeping everyone engaged throughout the experience. Their passion for Greek mythology and Athens' history really shined through. The route itself was outstanding. We visited so many of Athens' iconic landmarks, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Acropolis Museum, the Theatre of Dionysus, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Areopagus Hill, the Ancient Agora, the beautiful streets of Plaka, and the Tower of the Winds. Along the way, we solved riddles, learned fascinating stories about ancient Greece, and enjoyed spectacular views of the Acropolis. One unexpected highlight was meeting at Lukumades for delicious fresh Greek donuts—a fun and tasty way to start the tour that everyone in our group loved! There were just a few things that kept this from being a perfect five-star experience. First, the meeting location was very confusing and difficult to find. It wasn't just our family—another group was also late several due to trying to figure out where to meet up, so clearer directions or photos of the meeting point would be very helpful. Second, while the "treasure hunt" was enjoyable, we were hoping for a bit more Percy Jackson-themed interaction. Much of the mythology and gameplay came through the required app, and we would have loved to see more live storytelling, role-playing, or interactive challenges led by the guides themselves to really bring the Percy Jackson theme to life. Finally, be prepared for a lot of walking. The tour covers an impressive amount of Athens, which is wonderful, but by the end many of the adults and especially the kids in our group were pretty tired. Comfortable walking shoes and water are definitely a must! Would we do it again? Absolutely! The incredible sights, fascinating history, fun guides, and unique treasure hunt made this a memorable experience. With a few small improvements—especially a clearer meeting point, a little more Percy Jackson immersion/role playing—this could easily become one of the very best family tours in Athens. Overall, we highly recommend it for families looking for a fun, educational, and interactive way to discover ancient Athens.

The guides were very friendly and this is not their fault- but the tour started 25 minutes late- we were left waiting for this as they were running late from a previous tour. The more experienced guide then had to leave early to get to the next tour- they may be overscheduled which isn't fair on them or the customers. The content of the tour was also really really light on anything related to Percy Jackson. We essentially walked around Athens together and answered some questions on the app. It was not the £200 tour I was expecting. I would have expected more stories of mythology, more Percy Jackson related content, maybe an actual treasure hunt or any props. We could have done this ourselves with the app. Finally, it was unexpected that we were with two other families. Nothing on the tour made it clear that this was a shared tour and not a private one. A pretty disappointing experience- but none of this is the tour guides fault- they were friendly and kind. It is clear that the Narratologies company has not put in enough thought into this tour.

This tour is a fun experience for you if you’re traveling with kids. The guide (Niki) did a great job helping to get our kids into the excitement of the treasure hunt/story. You get to see a lot of the historical spots along the way with some great views. It has an interactive app to go along with the tour.

Our family (including two boys of 8 and 10) absolutely loved this tour! Both our sons are Greek Mythology fans and the clues and riddles were perfectly suited to their knowledge. The tour was exceptionally well organised and our guide Jo was fun and knowledgeable. The food stops were delicious, but what we loved most was how the tour took us to so many hidden corners we might have missed otherwise. Our sons loved all the history and details they learnt through the game! We will definitely recommend this tour and we’ll be doing more of these on our trip!

Katherine was a perfect guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Amazing with kids. Very prepared for food stops. The tour was very fun. My 13 year old loved it too.

This was the highlight of our trip to Athens! Maria was a great guide, informative, interactive, and able to bounce flawlessly between our elementary school and middle school children.

Our guide, Konstas, was incredibly knowledgeable about Greek mythology and how it related to Percy Jackson. And when we wanted to ask other questions about Athens or Greek history, he knew that too. A great time for adults and kids. I would highly recommend this and it was one of the highlights of our Athens experience.

Sofia and Catherine were fabulous tour guides. We completed our Percy mission by solving riddles and following directions on our phone - our 9 and 12 year old loved it and we all picked up on so much information that we might otherwise have passed by. Sofia and Catherine met up with us at various locations with tasty Greek goodies along the way! They also took us round some parts of the tour and were on hand to provide hints through WhatsApp throughout. It was a great mix of having a tour guide and also having some space. They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and easy to get along with. A throughly enjoyable 3 hours!

Excellent experience, nice tour that led us to some hidden gems and, as we got the hosted option, amazing host. The whole Narratologies team was great and very helpful. Would recommended and would also repeat this for a private visit.
