  • 5Fascinating and unique experiece

    Showcases ancient history of Greek drama with personal narration by an actor who also plays the parts. Michael, the actor, was skilled and charming and gave real insight into the evolution of Greek theater. He also shared interesting and novel perspectives about motivations. It was a delight to see some of Athens sights at night.

    There were not that many stops but the host explained each in detail. His performances from the Greek plays were excellent.

  • 5Perfect for a theatre loving family

    Traveling to Athens with an 11-year-old, we’re always looking for experiences that are both educational and engaging, and this was the perfect fit. With Greece being the birthplace of theatre, this experience offered a wonderful way to explore history while enjoying a tribute to Greek performances. Our entire family had such a great time! I wasn’t sure how our daughter would respond to the masks and monologues, but she was completely drawn in. She especially loved seeing the different types of masks and comparing the styles of tragedy and comedy, it really brought the history to life for her. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens, especially families. As an added bonus, experiencing the city lit up at night gave everything a more dramatic and memorable atmosphere, such a unique perspective compared to the daytime.

My seven year old loves learning through storytelling, especially about Greek myths and culture so on his birthday trip to Athens we were excited to book this theatre on the go experience. It was a big hit! My son loved it and so did the ALL the adults in our family! Hugely informative, fun, peppered with sightseeing breaks, best way to learn, highly recommend it for all families visiting Athens.

  • 5Greek theatre experience

    This was truly unique. It brought ancient Greek theatre to life in a fun and engaging way. It made us genuinely curious to learn more about Greek tragedies. Great energy, storytelling, and use of masks/performance skills, impressive and entertaining at the same time. It’s also great for kids — fun, interactive, and informative. A big thank you to the team for a really great experience! 🎭

  • 5one of a kind

    The event was amazing and enjoyable, we had a wonderful time. We learned about Greek theatre and went on a sightseeing trip on the bus in a unique way. The theatrical scenes that were performed in front of us on the bus added excitement to the trip!! , and the organizers were extremely polite and answered all our questions and inquiries. Note: The trip is perfect for lovers of Greek theatre and for people who are curious and interested in learning new information or having a different kind of experience.

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
