We did this with 6... - We did this with 6 adults-we all really enjoyed it! We learned new information about Greece history and culture. Cathereine was a great guide-added humor and interesting stories along the way. We recommend it highly!

Great fun! - Jo, our guide was excellent and we got to explore places we never would have found ourselves, with lots of facts and interesting conversation! Food was great also! We booked the tour for our 12 year old who loves Greek Mythology and she really enjoyed it. Five stars!

The kids enjoyed this one - I was looking for a kid friendly walking tour and this had positive reviews. As an adult, I am used to the more traditional cerebral type walking tour, but to see this deviation through their eyes was fun. You have a guide to help you along - and you get two stops for food (donuts and then a variety of Greek that was essentially enough for dinner) - but you’re playing a riddle game on your phone as you go. There’s also a small playground they ran around for a bit en route. They loved our guide Jo - she got accolades for being nice and cool even days later. Kids were 8 and 12. Would recommend for families in Athens.

Alternative sightseeing - This treasure hunt is a great alternative way to experience Athens and some of the history/myths connected to the city. This includes hidden gems, beautiful sights and food stops with traditional Greek food and sweets while solving riddles to learn more about Athens and its history.

Very fun, informative & delicious food - I did the Athena vs Poseidon Hybrid hunt with my 11-year old. We had such a good time with our guide Maria! She was sweet and helpful. The hunt itself it fun, because of the gems that you earn and we had delicious dessert & food (it was pretty much dinner!). We got to see a nice area of Athens we hadn’t explored before.
Highly recommend this! The gems do not really give a reward, except for discounts at certain stores, but we didn’t really do it for the reward. Maria had a nice small gift for us anyway at the end. My daughter learnt about mythology and Athena & Poseidon’s fight and who won, which was most important. We did this on a very hot day during a heatwave at 6 pm and while it was warm, a lot of the hunt is in the shade, so it was ok.

Fun for all the family - We had some fantastic hosts! Maria and Maria were great at getting us started on the app and helping us on our meeting points. We got to discover a great deal of athens and the recommendations for food were fabulous. We really enjoyed how much detailed information we got on the app too about all the different stops. From a booking perspective the team were great too. We were unlucky enough to first book on the day of the transport strikes but were quickly rebooked to another day. We originally planned this for our first day in athens and I think it's a great way of getting to know the city. However even on our 3rd day in athens we found areas we hadn't seen before and those areas we had already visited we got to know a lot more about so still really worth doing!

What fun! - We had a great guide Maria who helped us if we needed clues to the riddles. My 10 year old son had a great time learning not only about the Gods but also some of the local history. Our two food stops were delicious as well. Highly recommend this tour.

Great way to get to see new parts of the city ancient and modern - We have the best time on our tour with Maria! Taking part in this was such a great way to see the ancient and modern aspects of the city. We also went to a couple of restaurants that we would not have gone to otherwise. We also went to some places that we otherwise would not have gone. This would be a great activity for a couple like us or a family with children at least in third grade or above.

A great way to see the city - My husband and I had the best time doing this. It was a great way to see a mix of ancient and modern in Athens. Our guide, Maria, was absolutely wonderful. She picked some amazing places for us to stop and eat at along the way. we got to see parts of Athens that we would not otherwise have seen. The game was also fun and informative. I would highly recommend this for couples or families as it is very engaging and you work at your own pace.
