My family did the Greek mythology tour with Nikki. It was wonderful. We had our 7 year old and 4 year old and Nikki was an amazing guide. She helped my 7yo be the navigator and engaged her so well to help lead the walking tour. At each stop Nikki had items in her backpack to help the girls do little games and challenges that corresponded to points. Every one they solved led to the next location. It was such a fun way to see the city and my daughter felt such an amazing sense of accomplishment for navigating! We stopped in the middle for a little refreshment and bathroom break. The whole tour was meant to be longer but we asked Nikki to shorten it for the sake of the 4year old. Truly I can’t recommend this experience enough - thanks Nikki for showing us the city and for being so kind and engaging with our girls!! Xo, armel

Niki was a wonderful guide for us. This was our last thing to do on our vacation before heading back home and it was a nice treat for our boys (9 & 11) to have some fun and learn more about mythology with a little Athens history as well.
It was slow paced but flowed well and kept the boys engaged.
Niki knew all the shady spots and we stopped for refreshments on the middle for a little hydration and sugar for the boys. She also had a wonderful lunch recommendation we took her up on before heading out of the city. Hoping to be back again to explore more of this wonderful historic and beautiful city!

Our kids, aged 10 and 8, found this to be a thoroughly engaging experience and a great way to learn a bit about ancient Athens and the Greek myths. Activities were well thought out and kept the kids fully engaged. Antonia, our guide, pitched it perfectly for them.

This tour was a really excellent way for the kids to get a sense of ancient Athens and to learn about the Greek myths. The content of the tour was well thought out, with lots of activities and stories to engage the kids (aged 10 and 8). Our guide Antonia pitched it perfectly for the ages of the children.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. We are very grateful we got to have a fun sightseeing experience with our three young children. Our 6 year old says this was the best experience of our entire trip.

I really would like to give this company a 5 star but as much as I was pulling for them, I have to quickly downgrade them to a 3. In theory, they have a great concept and the one thing I will rate them individually on as a 5 is the fact they were able to provide a slew of options of things to do around the islands that I otherwise might have missed or just plainly did not have the time to research. A++ with that and they alleviated the stress and hassle of me having to get my boarding passes to the ferry and two different air transports as I island hopped. THAT was instrumentally wonderful. They also provided the transportation to and from which in theory was a great idea but here is where I very quickly started to have to rate them as 3 (C-)
The first day's tour went seamless. The second day I thought it would be the same process however the driver never came to the lobby. I waited and waited so my instincts told me to walk to the edge of the road. (There was no communication from Effie or the team of Be a Greek to alert me that I had to walk to the end of the road to be picked up. THEN, I get to the car and the gentleman does not speak English very well so he just says he is picking up one person. I asked him to give me my name at which time he proceeded to say he didn't know my name. This is a huge safety issue for me as I am not getting into a random car in a country I had never been before with a man who hardly speaks English and me not knowing Greek. After having to muddle through this we recognized he was indeed my driver and when he dropped me and my friend off, he just dropped us off into the middle of a mad house. He did not tell us where to go and Effie and/or team did not give us insight of who we were to ask for or what station to go to- NOTHING. It was extremely frustrating. We basically had to fend for ourselves the rest of that day. From this day onward, we found a lot of the same where our driver would just drop us off and not tell us where to go and Effie and/or team would always say "your driver will t guide you." but that was not the case and not speaking the language made things even more complicated in many of these scenarios.
Every time we provided feedback to the group there was always an excuse and no one accepted accountability that they had indeed messed up however one of the founders Dimitrios, was very instrumental at trying to make things right by giving us upgrades in some fashion after each instance but we were not interested in upgrades.. we wanted the incompetence to cease and just be presented with information. The "in a nut shell" feedback is that we are from the US and know nothing about Greece so "we don't know what we don't know" We appreciate having someone do all of the legwork in scheduling and coordinating and going back and forth with us in making decisions. However each night when you verify times to meet driver, it would be nice to also get a detail summary of exact addresses and names of where the driver is dropping us off if there is a street address. What are landmarks, etc. If we have to meet the driver at our hotel and have to walk up the road to meet him, that needs to be specified or if we have to walk down a pedestrian street to wait for him at the corner then this too needs to be clearly expressed in the night before confirmations.
We do not feel as if Effie really truly "heard" what we presented as "must do's" because we paid over 7k for this trip only for the main thing we desired to be completely eliminated from our tour which truly ticked me off and caused some unpleasantness. Dimitrios comp'ed us again for this huge misunderstanding but it was rushed and and just not fun "after" the fact but the effort for him to try to remedy it was recognized
There were so many things that went wrong that we even recognized the staff discussing how difficult we were being but again if we pay over 7k for a tr unless it is an act of mother nature keeping us from doing the things we agreed upon, we have every right to expect what we paid for and that is not being difficult. I could list out all of the other mishaps but won't because they were of the same nature just different locations and different drivers etc.
Antonia- our Mythology guide was the BEST! She and she alone would probably make me sway my 3 (c-) to a 4 ( B) but I just can't do it. However Antonia.. you get an A++ as a stand alone and I thank you for absolutely everything!

My daughter (8) and I enjoyed this tour. It was a great way for my daughter to get oriented and immerse herself in Athens. Antonia was excellent, fun and knowledgeable. She engaged my daughter every minute and we all had fun. Great way to see ancient sites and cater to young kids interests and attention spans. Highly recommend it. Thank you, Antonia.
