Athens Highlights: Myths & Philosophers Walking Tour

This was an absolutely amazing and educational tour! Bianca was such a great guide!

The tour was definitely worth it! Our guide, Bianca, was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our discussions about Ancient Greek philosophers. My brother and I both studied philosophy in school, so it was an excellent refresher and came alive with the places and stories we saw and heard. Bianca also introduced us to some Greek culture, going so far as to buy us a breakfast bread, coffee, and our metro ticket back to our hotel. Honestly, talking with her was my favorite part of the tour! I definitely recommend, regardless of your background in philosophy.

We had a great time, my son , who is 14 years old, said “this tour was his favorite by far”Bianca is very knowledgeable. She was able to introduce topics of mythology, philosophy, politics , religion in a very relaxing way , she always finds the perfect place to sit and talk during our walks through the busy and crowded touristic city.

We absolutely loved our Athens Highlights: Myths & Philosophers Walking Tour with Bianca. She was funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept us engaged from start to finish. Her storytelling made ancient myths feel alive, and her passion for philosophy was contagious. One of the most enjoyable and memorable tours we’ve ever taken. Highly recommend Bianca!

I did this amazing walking tour with Bianca this morning and I could not recommend it highly enough. Not only did I learn about some of the great Greek philosophers and some Greek gods, but I also learnt about Athens. I have learnt to slow down, wander and get lost in this beautiful city. It was a wonderful way to start my time in Athens. I am going to employ this way of travelling during the rest of my Greek adventure. Thank you Bianca!

This tour was one of the best tours we have taken. Not only because it gave historical context to our time in Athens but because of our guide, Bianca. She was engaging, passionate, clearly expert in her subject yet made the the subject matter approachable and memorable. It was a walking tour and we covered a lot of ground, yet Bianca did an excellent job of pacing the tour, finding benches for us where possible so it didn't feel too much. The tour was equally loved by me, my husband and our 21 year old and it's clear that she is skilled at making the subject accessible for all ages. Highly recommend!

Bianca was exceptional in her knowledge but more importantly in her ability to enthuse and convey this so important information in such a pleasant and relaxed manner .. we didn’t know how the 4 hours flew by.

John was knowledgeable, patient, and personable. He was an enthusiastic guide - interested in architecture, connections of classical Greek philosophy to today (and the iterative eras between). From Socrates to Descartes, from the Stoics to Irvine, from Aristotle to Nussbaum - there is so much still to learn from the classical Greek philosophy. Along the way, you get to see Athens from a local's perspective.

Our lovely guide, Bianca, provided an amazing tour for our family. She was very knowledgeable and also warm and down to earth. She paced the tour well—we walked a lot, but had plenty of pauses, and we stopped for a drink at a rooftop restaurant. Bianca was organized in her approach, and pitched the material to our family’s interests. She was also flexible and adapted when needed. We had a great time with her and highly recommend this tour!
