The origins of Athens can be traced back to a magical time when gods came down to the earth from their royal palace on mount Olympus in order to get married to mortals and competed among them over who would give the city the best gift and win the dominion.
Mysteries and intricate questions are delved into: how many Pythias were there ? why did athletes compete naked ? was Socrates really bullied by his wife ?
The thread of the history of Athens is unwound and touches the controversial character of the modern Greeks ,who take pride on breaking the smoking ban
That and many more ,can satisfy the curiosity of the most demanding visitors.
I am more than happy to share my knowledge of the Greek history and culture with our international friends!
Kind reminder to guests :tours are conducted with a minimum number of three people and above
Elena was amazing! A very charming personality displayed during the tour. You cannot miss her !
Elena was an absolute highlight of our trip! She guided us through the tour in an engaging and thoughtful way — never superficial, always with real depth. She actively encouraged us to ask questions and had a confident, well-informed answer for every single one. What impressed me most was her remarkable historical knowledge and her ability to connect past events with present-day topics in a balanced, nuanced way. Highly recommended!
Die Tour mit Elena war leider etwas enttäuschend
I had an incredible experience exploring Athens thanks to Elena. From the very beginning, she was warm, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and culture. She balanced storytelling with interesting facts, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made sure everyone in the group felt included. The pace of the tour was perfect—never rushed, but always moving with purpose. I also appreciated the thoughtful local tips she shared, from great food spots to hidden gems around the city. If you’re visiting Athens and want a tour that’s both informative and genuinely enjoyable, I highly recommend booking with Elena. She truly enriched our experience of Athens.
