For summer 2025, my husband and I wanted to take our fourteen-year-old grandson to Greece. Because of his interest in Greek mythology, we booked the seven-day Percy Jackson Greek Mythology trip. From beginning to end, it was an amazing experience! Konstantina, the operations manager for Greek Mythology Tours travel agency, was our contact person and assisted in coordinating our trip. She was so attentive and helpful as we made preparations. In addition, she was very responsive to any issues/questions that popped up during our trip. Maria was our contact person for securing accommodations, and as we prepared for our trip, she worked with us to determine the best lodging options for us (and our budget!) We were pleased with all our accommodations during the trip. At each of our destinations during the trip (i.e., Athens, Delphi, Ancient Olympia, Nafplio, Epidaurus, Heraklion, and more!), the local guides were excellent and obviously passionate about what they do. Moreover, they did a good job at gearing their talking points to kids who like Greek mythology. Besides enjoying Greek mythology, our grandson is an athlete and really liked Olympia. Also, during our free time in Nafplio, he loved climbing the 999 steps up to the Palamidi Fortress! While in Heraklion (Crete), we appreciated a morning of free time before heading out to the Knossos. Konstantina suggested Heaven Beach as well as transportation logistics to get there. It was the perfect option for us! The one hiccup during our trip was my husband’s accident near the Acropolis entrance. He tripped on the steps and needed medical attention. However, our tour guide was very quick in getting the help he needed from the medical personnel at the first-aid station. We missed the Acropolis tour that day, but Konstantina quickly secured tickets for the last day of our tour. One more comment: During the planning phase of this trip – and at our grandson’s suggestion - we asked Konstantina to try and find another family to travel with us. She matched us with a wonderful (multi-generational) family. What a treat it was to travel with them and it made the Percy Jackson Greek Mythology trip all the more enriching for us!

We did several full day tours with Greek Mythology Tours, and they arranged our transportation to and from the airport. We had an incredible time touring with GMT, but honestly, the best part of the tours was actually the people. My kids were so drawn to everyone we met who showed us around and engaged with them about where we were and the significance of mythology at the site. It's not easy to keep kids interested for a full-day, but we were, because of our great guides. There's no way we could have done these kinds of tours on our own, and I'm so glad we used a service that specializes in kids and mythology, it really made all of these stories come to life.

Perfect way to begin or end a trip in Greece! We did a tour of the Acropolis (and museum) at 4:00 in the afternoon with MariaElena. She is an amazing guide. Super engaging, kind, and full of knowledge and enthusiasm. She connected very well with both our 12 and 16 year olds and kept everyone’s interest through the 4 hour tour. We started off in the air conditioned museum and her explanations really set the stage for what we would see on the hill. I am really glad we spent this time at the museum as it ended up being crowded at the acropolis that evening and it would have been harder to absorb everything in the site itself. This was the perfect tour and way to cap off our trip in Greece. Our kids especially liked the quest they went on while exploring the museum and site. It was an age-appropriate way to keep them interested (especially our 12 year old). I HIGHLY recommend this company. They have excellent communication and guides. Don’t hesitate - if you’re interested in Greek mythology and history, this is the tour for you.
