Greek-philosophy and mythology - Bianca was Fantastic. We loved her passion for history . We were glued to her every word . She took great care of me because I’m extremely afraid of cats . Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️… loved her drama and sense of humor too . I’m not a big history buff this is something that my husband wanted to do . Now I’m so eager to read all I can get my hands on about Greek-philosophy and Mythology… love Sam & Vena Linebaugh

A fascinating tour that was so much more than a typical walking tour of such a remarkable city! - Bianca was such a great guide! Passionate about history and philosophy, we wandered the streets and spoke of Socrates and Aristotle, laughing and having effortless conversation for hours. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Sensational experience we all highly recommend - Bianca was sensational, engaging, passionate and genuine. Best tour we did. We talked about what we learned for days after as a family of four. Excellent experience. We feel we understand the history of Greece and the world of philosophy that much more. Highly recommend.

Out of the Cave and into the Light - Bianca our tour guide must be a descendent of the ancient Greek philosophers! She fully engaged our 21 year old in didactic exploration of the history of Greek philosophical thought. Bianca is living proof that philosophy lives vibrantly in Athens today. Perhaps the best guided tour we've ever been on in five continents! thank you Bianca we can't wait to return for a longer visit to Athens and hope to see you again.
