Bianca, Goddess of Tour Guides! - If you only have time for one tour in Greece, then you must take this tour with Bianca! Why? Because you will take from this experience more than just information. You will be informed, inspired, and possible transformed. Bianca will accompany you on an intellectual and spiritual time travel adventure of the mind where you meet and discuss with the Greek giants of philosophy while walking the streets and taking in the sights of Athens, where Socrates himself once trod. This is not just a tour, but rather an experience and adventure that will engage and delight you. Thank you Bianca for the best experience yet!

Amazing Athens Tour!! - This was was a highlight of our trip! Bianca was our tour guide and at the end of the tour she felt like a true friend. She was passionate, knowledgeable, and so easy to get along with. Our tour took us all over the city but we took our time and drank in the scenery and history. There was no time crunch, it just felt like a few friends taking a stroll. 5 hours flew by. A perfect way to spend a morning while in Athens!

A Must Do! Start your time in Athens with this tour! Engaging and interesting! - Bianca was an incredible guide! She is deeply knowledgeable and her passion for philosophy is undeniable. She makes everything easy to understand and engaging (nothing boring about this tour!). You will learn so much and feel like you are hanging out with a dear friend the whole time. The 4+ hours together felt like half an hour and we did not want the tour to end! This is such an interesting tour and the discussions it speaks are stimulating. We cannot recommend this tour enough and especially suggest doing this tour early in your trip to Athens to also gain knowledge of things to expect during your stay in Greece. Thank you so much Bianca! If we ever return to Greece we will reach out!

One of the best tours - Hands down, one of our favorite tours. My husband is a fan of stoic philosophy so I originally booked this for him but I loved it too. Bianca was warm, knowledge and also an excellent story teller. You learn a lot about history, philosophy, and Athens - a perfect combination that leaves you feeling informed and inspired. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more about these disciples or the city itself!
