Best class ever - Absolutely fun and the kids learnt a lot Best time of year to be here in Athens no crowds. Recommend this activity especially if you’re travelling solo with teens and you need them to whack them around with a sword 🗡️ for sanity …

Great history lesson and fun for the kids - Gregory is so knowledgeable about the history of Athens and its importance in world history. Part of that was how the Athenians managed to triumph in battles against the odds. My 9 year old son and I were in Athens for a long weekend and this was a fun add on experience to tours of the Acropolis and the museum. You meet close to the Acropolis and walk to a local park where Gregory brings history alive. I learnt so much. Fun for mini historians! Also, I messed up our original booking by travelling to completely the wrong meet up point on the other side of Athens - but Gregory was very kind and rebooked us. For the record, this is a central Athens activity! Close to the Temple of Hephaestus etc.

Feel like a Hoplite - This is a must-do activity if you are in Athens. In no other place the Greek history became so alive for me then when Gregory shared his immense knowledge about history and ancient warfare. We could hold spears, swords and shields and he trained us in how to build a phalanx. It was so much fun while being informative at the same time. He also seemed to customize the experience based on who is joining so I can wholeheartedly recommend this to families and adults alike. Thank you for this amazing time!

Five stars - history, strategy and a chance to try it out yourself! - A fab experience. Kids 8 and 10 both really enjoyed it and Gregory brought ancient warfare and its context alive for them - as well as the chance to try it themselves!

Gregory is a wonderful guide. Activity was not well orchestrated by company. - Our guide Gregory was wonderful. No complaints! He went out of his way to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable. He was sooooooo patient and great with our young kids. Loved him. He is the reason I am rating this tour so highly. However, the tour itself when booked by the company Kids Love Greece was not clearly explained at all. This involved a randomly designated meeting point, then we walked 10-15 min to another random park, and used warrior equipment there. The tour historical information provided by Gregory itself was informative. However, the venue needs to be more appropriate. This activity can take place indoors in a gym or similar type place. There was no clear reason for it be at one meeting point followed by a different location for the warrior demonstration. We could have instead met at the demonstration spot or been at a real venue. Overall, this was a bit of a bizarre logistical experience.
