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!

Phenomenal tour and guide! - The tour was amazing. Private tour. Very relaxed and at our pace. The highlight though was our tour guide Bianca. She was so polite, accommodating and kind throughout the experience. Would strongly recommend this tour to others.

Who knew learning about Philosphers could be so much fun! - Such a great time spending the morning with Bianca! She was super informative and splendidly entertaining as she explained the history of Philosophy and the Philosophers and their impact on the world. Even our two teenage boys enjoyed it and so will your family. We saw everything during our visit to Athens but this was our favorite. Highly recommended!

Bianca - The Supermodel of Philosophical Tours - Bianca completely reinvigorated my view of Athens with her passionate and enthusiastic story telling !! Probably the best guide we have had in 33 yrs of international travel !! After 4 hrs I was still captivated by what she was going to share with us next about Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. A true gem of Athens !!!!

Excellent Tour & Knowledgeable Guide - Gianni was very knowledgeable about Greek philosophy and mythology and impeccably planned our itinerary so we arrived to our lunch restaurant on time for our reservation. We all enjoyed our time with him and wholeheartedly recommend this tour and Gianni as the guide.

Give Yourself The Gift of This Tour! - Truly one of the best tours I have ever had (and that is saying something!)! Bianca knocked it out of the ballpark, helping us to "get to know" Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, as well as the true intentions and beliefs of the early Stoics, Cynics, and Epicureans, and in such a lively and engaging way. My husband and I so enjoyed the back and forth discussion with her, and really appreciated how she seemed to know just when and where to stop in the shade to talk. I simply could not believe four hours had gone by by the end of our tour. As hot as it was, I felt perfectly fine and ready for more! Bianca is the quintessential professional and taking her tour was a gift we shall not soon forget.
