Be a warrior! - The experience with Grigorios was unforgettable! We definitely felt like greek warriors for one day, and we learned so much information about warriors history. Also, it is not needed to have experience or former training whatsoever, so it is adequate for most!

Terrific Experience - We had a fantastic time learning about military history and getting a taste of it for ourselves! The guide was very knowledgeable and personalized the experience on the fly for our interests (we got extra Alexander the Great info). Had a great time!

Lovely day - Gregory was super knowledgeable about ancient tactics and weaponry and armory. It was really cool to act out how Hoplites fought in ancient times.

Fun and informative experience! - We had so much fun and it was so very informative!!! My husband is a history buff (especially military history) and he really got into it, but so did my 6-year old daughter. So there is something for everyone in this experience!

Wow! - Beautiful outdoor activity, in a park with shade and lots of nature! We learned a lot, thanks to Gregory and had a lot of fun practicing fighting techniques from the Mycenaeans to the Greeks of the Persian Wars. A lot of time was dedicated to us and we are happy to have spent the morning with Gregory, who is the added value to the experience: friendly, helpful, cheerful.
