Great experience!

lauramC299QA, Apr 2025

Had a great time! The tour was very informative and the views were terrific. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in philosophy.

Best tour we've had by far!

Jessica_T, Mar 2025

My son said "This is the best store I've ever been on, by far!". Lampros was amazing. He showed us all these incredible sites and explained to us their significance so well. He was a fountain of information for those of us in the group that knew a lot about philosophy and also for those of us in the group that didn't know much. It was absolutely the most perfect tour. We highly recommend!

Excellent Walking Tour

Marc_H, Feb 2025

Lampros was an excellent guide. Very informative, ineractive tour that not only explored the philosophy of ancient Greece but also the history of the many monuments we walked by. Would gladly join this tour again to learn more and continue the conversation with Lampros!

Wonderful time with Lampros

Martha G, Jan 2025

I had a wonderful time on my philosophical tour I took with Lampros. He gave interesting explanations of the places we were seeing while tying together a succinct history of the philosophical schools developed in Greece. I learned some fascinating facts while enjoying the sights and sounds of the area. He was also very considerate and thoughtful; checking in with me about my need for breaks, refreshment, bathroom, etc. I couldn't recommend him more and have told all my friends about him.
