The Mythological world inhabited by the Ancient Greeks was not one of the fairytales, but one filled with a pantheon of real Gods, who it was possible to talk to, summon up, or just meet by chance when they visited the mortal world.
Bad or good decisions could lead to punishments like transformation into animals, or bestow fortune such as victory in battle. Multi-headed Hydras inhabited lakes, Centaurs lived in dark mountain caves, Griffins flew the skies, and the islands surrounding Athens were full of beasts with special powers, from Minotaurs and Sirens. No wonder the mythology of the ancient world formed part of everyday life for local Athenians who carved these beliefs into every monument for us to see today.
So join your private guide and step back 2500 years for a fun and educational tour bringing the mythology of Athens to life in front of you.

My husband and I loved our private Mythology Tour of Acropolis and the ancient Agora. Tatothta Zenaroy, our guide from Warm Penguin, was very knowledgeable and personable. We took this tour when we first arrived in Athens to give us an overview of Athens. The information she provided was useful throughout our stay in Greece. I highly recommend this tour. Tatothta guides in English, French and German.

We absolutely loved our one-on-one tour and our tour guide, Kelly. She was very informative and guided us on how mythology shaped religion and politics in Ancient Greece. We are storytellers in our day jobs in the U.S. so this was a perfect way to start our vacation in Greece! I especially loved seeing the ancient theatre at the base of the Acropolis where free speech, debate, and democracy were born!

While Athens and the rest of my trip in Greece were great, a start with this private tour was really perfect. The guide, Elena, was exceptional. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and impassioned. Kept us moving along (I opted for the extended tour - this is a must), stopping for my questions and photos. While you are touring, you see the larger groups and realize that springing for a private tour really is well worth it. I would not hesitate to do it again and will look for Warm Penguin tours wherever I travel.

Worth it to skip the line, but too much fluff on the tour and not enough about the actual Parthenon. The guide went on and on about how the Greeks are “blessed and the best” but didn’t provide much information on the history of the Acropolis.

I can only use superlatives for the guide Giorgios Bitsakos: very prepared, extremely available; without a doubt the best guide we have ever found.
