Unique way to explore a new city - This was such a fun and different way of exploring Athens. We would have most likely not seen some of the areas we visited on this treasure hunt otherwise. Highly encourage doing it. And it’s not too complicated. Questions are simple. But be ready to walk. We finished the hunt in a little more than 2.5 hours - which meant we walked non-stop for those many hours.

Amazing interactive and immersive city tour - This is definitely one of the best city tours I had. Very interactive and team building (we had it at our corporate retreat). You can look at Athens at different angles, not typical ones. Moreover to say, we had pit stops to take some national food. It was amazing! The Narratologies team does a really good job. That was fun! Thank you! =)

A Perfect Morning! - This was a fantastic way to spend the morning in Athens! We walked and sampled local foods, but mostly we enjoyed that it was self paced. We loved that we learned so much, got to see so many ancient sites, and even saw some amazing street art! We look forward to trying more of these tours!

Fun way to get to know Athens - I went on this scavenger hunt with a few friends and my boyfriend for his birthday. Super fun way to get to know the city. Our guide Maria, was super nice and friendly. She even brought a candle/dessert for my boyfriends birthday. :)

On and off the beaten path! ;) - Save Magas was a fun activity for our family! We walked Athens and visited buildings and destinations we would have never seen, but also wove in and out of busy squares and the Plaka. We loved it. The app contains detailed info concerning the places we visited. A few of the clues had us confused, but Natasha had provided her cell to text with questions. We enjoyed some delish and interesting Greek food included in the tour, but this was not a food tour. I suggest placing the app on all devices in your group prior to starting the tour and you need access to data outside of Wifi while on the tour. In hindsight, I would have brought a paper map for perspective, not for navigation. We also went at 6pm when temps were cooler. We concluded near the Agora in the Plaka and stayed for a lovely dinner close by. PS: If your family is not adventurous or not comfortable exploring outside the lines, this particular tour may not be for you. Would recommend to friends. ;)

A great family activity! - The ultimate activity for families visiting Athens! Massive thanks to Floga, our lovely belly dancer character, who did an excellent job of providing relevant information and insight into the history of Athens/Greece and the mission of the tour. Every detail, made the treasure hunt enjoyable for all the time that we were playing. A new way to see the city!

Fun independent walking tour - A fun experience! The tour takes you to some places you otherwise might miss out on. Maria was great :) Would have liked a couple of more food stops though.
