A gem of an experience!
Jenna_B, Feb 2024
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!
Our very own Olympics!
Paul_D, Dec 2023
We came as a group of 4 old school friends of varying fitnesses. CATHERINE with a K or with a C (it doesn't matter) was a fantastic host. The games were a right laugh and it was great to run round the Olympic stadium. It was lighthearted but we made it competitive. Catherine was very knowledgeable and spent time to tell us historical information and pitched it at the right level for us. It wasn't intense and anyone could take part really. We got to use and learn the technique on real javelin and discuss. The pentathalon was shotput, javelin (both with training equipment), standing long jump (which was harder than it looks), in the training area nearby then the finalie was the 100m and 400m events in the Olympic stadium to end. Oh you have to pay 10 euro to get in there or 5 euro for students. It was a right laugh. As with anything, the company made it
Unique and fun way to learn and tour
amy_k, Oct 2023
Fun hands on learning of Olympic history and super knowledgeable of athletics. Also introduced us to a culinary treasure the oregano potato chips. Wish we had those in the states. Had a ball!
Interactive games and fun facts!
Tonya_Z, Aug 2023
We had a blast with Katerina! She was informative about the history of the Olympics and she hosted fun, interactive games for us to play as a family! It was perfect for my competitive teenagers! If I can blend them getting some history while having fun then that is a win!
Must do, once in a lifetime experience!
Yvonne, Jul 2023
This is such a unique experience and was so much fun! My daughter and I really came away with such amazing pictures and now, memories! Thank you!!!
Fun for the whole family!
Alison_T, Jun 2023
This was so much fun. Evie and her work partner were fantastic. It was fun that the kids in the group had their own trainer, and she was wonderful with them. The history lesson along with the activity of was perfect. Ending the experience in the stadium was so special. I highly recommend this for families. It’s something everyone can enjoy.

Our guides were fun, knowledgeable, and overall amazing! Highly recommend this experience to learn about the ancient and modern Olympics!
Totally incredible
DrDebabrata_B, Jun 2023
A very memorable experience. The guide trained us in a few Olympic sports and provided information for the old and large stadium (Panathenaic). She was very knowledgeable and a member of the national water polo team. This is an excellent activity for both children and adults. In the end we got a prize.
Catherine , the Gold Medalist of Tour Guides
Martin_M, Apr 2023
Was Catherine a normal tour guide or a goddess who came down from Mt Olympus to lead our group? She was energetic, friendly and engaging and kept us all moving. She sprinkled information about the Olympic Games while teaching us the javelin, shot put and discus Competing as a family was fun and running in the stadium is a nice experience. The tour preview said it is 5 euros in cash only to enter the stadium but they now take cards and price is 10euro per person. Three cheers to Catherine the champion of tour guides
Awesome experience!
Candace_S, Sep 2022
This experience was educational and fun. It was not an intense workout so if that is what you are looking for, this is not the excursion for you. But, you will get to learn about the history of the Olympics and have fun playing a few of the events. The guide was knowledgeable and running in the stadium was very cool. So glad we did this!
Favorite Activity in Athens
Shayla_J, Aug 2022
So much fun! This was my family’s favorite activity in Athens! We competed against each other throwing a javelin, shot put, discs, long jump and then finished with a race in the first modern day Olympic stadium. My 9 and 11 year old kids loved it.
Exceptional!!
Eva_G, Jul 2022
The experience was truly extraordinary, and fun for the entire family (including teens). We participated in what truly felt like the Olympic games. Our host included historical context as she let us through many of the traditional Olympic events. She is a trainer, and so she was really able to coach us very well through events including javelin, discus, shotput, and long jump. The experience was capped off with the unbelievable feeling of running a lap around the track at the actual Olympic Colosseum. For anyone who is a fan of the Olympics, I would recommend it as a once in a lifetime experience.
Unique experience!
Nicola_C, Jun 2022
Really enjoyed this experience as it was very interactive and something a bit different! Our guide was wonderful and would definitely recommend!
A different way to enjoy Athens
Katya_P, Jul 2019
We were looking for a different experience for our stay in Athens and we decided to try this one. It ended up being a very fun, interesting and well organised morning. The guide was a prepared personal trainer who gave us insights of the historical context, alongside the physical warm-up and exercises. The activity consisted on a sort of easy pentathlon to challenge ourselves and a few exercises about discus and javelin throw. The day finishes inside the stadium (the ticket is not included, but I recommend not to miss this part. It's 5€ and it includes an audio tour you can complete afterwards. It was good fun, highly recommended.
Response from Host, Aug 2019
Hello, Thank you for taking time to review our Olympic Games Workout. We are excited to hear that you had a pleasant time with our experienced tour guide and personal trainer, whom I'll let her know about your kind comments. This activity is indeed a great alternative to do and see in our beautiful city of Athens. We hope to see you again in one or more of our top rated tour we offer in Athens and beyond. Best wishes, Phaedra
Fun and Awesome workout!
Olive_O, May 2019
The trainer was fun, energetic and knowledgeable about both history and fitness. Had an awesome time and was able to use the stadium track for another workout afterwards!
Work out in a Historic Place! Awesome!
Linda F, May 2019
Did a 2 hour work out on a morning in Athens with our guide who helped us stretch out - taught us to throw the javelin, discus and do long jump in an old gymnasium in the shadows of the stadium - and then we ran a race in the stadium itself! Our guide helped us take a ton of photos - and kept us informed and happy- Obviously tailored the workout to our ability! Thank you to the Pilates/German teacher (Christina?) who even told us what to do and eat for fun in Greece!
Great morning!

Charles L, Jan 2018
Get ready for a workout! Our guide/trainer was great at adjusting the workout level individually so that no one was bored or too challenged. We touched on the history of the games and then covered the basics of javelin, shot put, discus, and long jump before heading to the Olympic Stadium. Our guide got us there early and only 4 other people were in the arena!! We walked through the museum and then got to run the track!! After the session was over we were able to stay and explore the stadium at our leisure! A great way to honor the birthplace of the Olympic games!
Olympische Spiele für jeden
