An amazing and fun experience - An amazing start to our time in Athens! Charis was able to draw out my usually shy son to participate with such enthusiasm. Super fun for the whole family!

Fun at the Acropolis - Charis was so knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time and learned a lot about Athens. The scavenger hunt takes place around the base of the Acropolis and is a great way to see the area

Acropolis Treasure Hunt - We booked this last minute to fill out our Athenian itinerary and it turned out to be a great way to get introduced to the Acropolis and its surrounding areas. Charis instantly clicked with my 8 year old daughter and joked that she would keep her to do tours with her going forward. She made sure to include my more introverted 4 year old daughter, and did a great job of incorporating my wife and I in the treasure hunt. The weather was very warm but she found us water spots to refill our bottles and maneuvered around seeking out shade to help keep us cool. It's a great way of getting the whole family involved and simultaneously learning.

Great activity, made even better by a great host! :) - We had an absolutely amazing time with this activity. We were two families and we have 2 children aged 10 and 11. The treasure hunt activity was incredibly well planned with bringing in some beautiful learning along with the treasure hunt activity. A great way for both our children and for us to learn. Charis, the event host, connected incredibly well with the children and with us, and was a pleasure to be with.

Fun, Entertaining & Educational Guide to Historic Athens - This was the perfect family tour. Our two teens enjoyed learning Greek history and discovering ruins while solving riddles and playing games. The adults loved it too! Charis is warm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and a superb guide.

Puzzle your way through Ancient Athens - An Acropolis Treasure Hunt? Yes, please! What better way to explore the ancient sites that skirt the Hill of the Acropolis, engaging with history (and the intriguing traces of Greek we use in modern-day English)? Similar in format to an outdoor “escape room”, this fictitious mystery of a missing archaeologist takes you on a walking exploration from one site to the next. You are given a bag of props at the start and, at each stop, there is a puzzle to solve. No need to feel intimidated if you aren’t a confident code-breaker: the puzzles are fun but not overly difficult. If you get stuck there is a game leader on hand to give you all the hints you might want. There was also a good variety of puzzles, so that everyone can have a chance to shine. This treasure hunt was a great half-day out in the city. We played it as an adult couple, but it would be enjoyable for families with young children, too, or groups of friends. Especially recommended if you want to discover as much of ancient Greece as you can fit into your trip but have kids (or adults!) in your group who might grow bored with repeated museum visits. An additional note: It was my partner’s first visit, while I had explored, researched and written about many of the sites on previous trips to Greece. Charis skilfully managed these different levels of background knowledge so that we both got to play an enjoyable game. She was a ray of sunshine and a fabulous game leader, generous with her knowledge about the history of the area. She was also very flexible with timing, accommodating our need to start and finish early to have plenty of time to get to Piraeus for the afternoon ferry.

Do this first with your family! - Charis was an amazing guide! She was so good with the kids (9 - 12) and also kept the adults engaged with all her specialized knowledge. Highly recommend that you do this first, as someone else mentioned. This was money well spent for the kids AND the adults. Thank you, Charis and the Acroplis Treasure Hunt!

Wonderful game and wonderful people - A great thank you to the team of the Acropolis Treasure Hunt because you helped to bond our team. We participated in the game as an organization looking for a team building activity and we enjoyed every minute of it. We learned a lot, there was something for everybody, even for native Greeks who are supposed to know their history. Go ahead and book a game!
