This was not a mythology tour. Our guide talked almost exclusively about modern Greek history. After two hours of trying to re-direct him back to mythology and seeing only one of the seven stops that were listed on the "what to expect" section, we gave up and cut the tour off. It was a very disappointing (and expensive) way to spend our last day in Athens.

Honestly the tour was a bit awkward and I really think the experience and knowledge is made by having the right tour guide. Unfortunately, ours wasn't great and she didn't know much about mythology at all. I booked the tour for my mythology loving partner and our tour guide didn't tell us any mythology information, I even had to ask her about her favourite God to which she didn't have much to say. We also don't feel like we saw all the things mentioned on the itinerary/potentially went a different route (if we did, they weren't pointed out and we certainly didn't hear about the God's related to that place). There were lots of awkward silences where I was trying to fill by asking about her background and favourite places in Athens. It felt more like a friend of a friend walking you around some nice places with not much information. All in all, I think it is luck of the draw with tour guides - I did not find any reviews mentioning the lady who took us around so not sure if it was her usual tour. In comparison we did a group tour around and up the Acropolis where the guide was energetic, informative and captivating for 20% of the price - this private tour was not worth the price.
