engaging and thought provoking - This is a fun, unique experience for those who enjoy learning while traveling, and a lot more engaging than anything you’ll get in a museum or on a big group tour. My boyfriend and I went into this without a lot of background knowledge, but that did not hold us back at all. Alex was a great workshop leader and made us feel comfortable asking questions and sharing our own ideas.

Favorite Athens experience - We had many (many!!) tours on our 3-week Greece trip, and this philosophy workshop experience was our favorite. We particularly enjoy history and philosophy, but I think someone who isn’t as inclined as us would still really enjoy this experience. Some of the tours can get exhausting downloading so much information, so it was pleasant and fun to actually engage on a tour with some easy but thoughtful questions. They are not hard test questions but scenario questions about everyday life situations. These questions then encourage conversation and help learn more about Aristotle’s Ethics. The brief history lesson at the beginning also put everything into context. It was also nice to see a different part of Athens. Our guide, Alex, was very friendly and easy to talk to. A perfect way to experience Greek philosophy and history!

Engaging experience - We had amazing time with Olga! The whole experience was engaging and awakening, Aristotle's philosophy was simply explained with examples from everyday life. Plus there is a brief historical introduction which explains a lot about ancient Athens' development.

10 out of 10 - If you are looking for an authentic experience, look no further. Olga provided a wonderful experience as we took a journey into the minds of the great historic philosophers. The experience was well crafted with much interactive components. I especially enjoyed the exploration of virtues. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great experience!!! - Best tour we had in Athens! Olga was amazing, explained the history of the 3 philosophers and also the virtues theory in a simple comprehensible way and we practiced it with examples. And we did that in the place of Aristotle's school, how cool is that!

Funny and easy learning - The philosophy was easy, funny and interactive. The Lyceum site was small, but the feeling of walking on the steps of Aristotle was great. We did examples from our life and learned what Aristotle would do if he was in our position. The instructor was very good, he answered all our questions from modern philosophy too. If you visit the Lyceum is very nice to do this activity, because without this, there is not much to do there.
