Highly Recommended Fun Experience! - We had a really great morning with Loli! It was only the two of us, so it ended up a private tour. Loli was very knowledgeable about the history of the games which is of course the primary reason we booked! She was also great at coaching us through the events - we are both sporty and took to the activities pretty easily but we can definitely see how she would be great with people who weren’t sporty. This event would definitely be for anyone! Super fun for anyone who wanted to learn about the history of the games, see the stadium up close and personal and also get some activity in!

Great experience! - This was such a great experience. Dean was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and good fun. As others have said, this tour really brings the Olympics to life and the activities are held in the spirit of the Olympics - ie it doesn’t matter who wins, it’s the taking part! The stadium is incredible and although you can take photos from outside, nothing beats being in there and running on the track as thousands of others have done before. Probably our favourite trip in Athens

Olympic Games Family Friendly Tour - Fun, Family Friendly Tour that includes an easy workout while learning about the history of the Olympic Games in Athens. Includes a beautiful park walk and five events of the Pentathlon (javelin, discus, shotput, long jump, and running) and finishes in the 1896 Olympic Stadium. Sports equipment is modified to ensure safe fun for all. Our guide, Dean, knew lots of Olympic history and did a great job engaging all of the guests. After the tour, take the free walking tour of the Olympic museum in the stadium to cool down and see torches from past Olympics.

Mari - Fantastic guide! So much fun and lovely to try on some activities. Really fun 2 hours! I really recommend this as an alternative between Akropolis and the beach. Lovely to get some historic facts and knowledge about technique.

Really fun activity with kids - Olympic Games workout was a really fun and cool activity. Our 10 year old son especially liked it. It's a much needed change for the kids, after visiting museums. Our trainer Dean was very knowledgable and fun. We learned interesting facts about the Olympic sports and the race in the Panathenaic stedium was a cherry on top. Highly recommend

A gem of an experience! - This is an experience that you don’t want to miss! Our guide Evi was a fitness expert but she catered towards all levels of fitness. My daughter has a broken wrist and was still able to participate and have a great time. We learned all about the ancient games, how to throw discus, javelin and shot put and then of course the highlight was racing around the track in the Olympic stadium. This is ideal for all levels of fitness and really unique. I highly recommend!
