Marathon

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was an incredible mix of serene landscapes and rich history. Marathon Lake was a peaceful retreat, offering stunning views and a sense of tranquility. The Archaeological Museum and the Marathon Tomb were deeply moving, connecting us to one of history’s most iconic battles. The Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods was a unique touch, showcasing the cultural connections of ancient civilizations. A perfect day for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike!

A Fun and Inspiring Adventure

Published on Dec, 2024

What an amazing tour! Marathon Lake was such a beautiful spot—calm, picturesque, and perfect for a quick photo session. The museum was fascinating, with so many cool stories about the origins of the marathon race that I had no idea about. Every stop was a little adventure, and the whole day was perfectly paced. If you’re looking for a fun way to explore history while soaking in some incredible views, this is the tour for you!

Excellent Private Tour with Perikles!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our driver, Perikles, was amazing! He arrived 10 minutes early and was waiting for us outside our Airbnb. The car was spotless, very comfortable, and perfect for a luxury tour. Perikles was polite, professional, and clearly knows his job and the tours very well. Everything ran smoothly, and we had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality service in Greece!

A day to remember

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was the perfect mix of history and relaxation. Marathon Lake offered a peaceful start, while the Marathon Run Museum was both inspiring and educational. The Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods was a surprising highlight, and the Panathenaic Stadium was a fitting tribute to Greece’s athletic heritage. The guide was professional and ensured we had a great experience.

A Deeply Moving Journey into Marathon's History

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was not only educational but also deeply emotional. I was particularly moved by the story of Pheidippides, which I hadn’t known in such detail before. Learning about his heroic run to deliver the message of victory, only to pass away immediately after uttering "Νενικήκαμεν," was profoundly touching. Visiting the battlefield and the museum brought this story to life in a way that left a lasting impression. This tour is a must for anyone who wants to connect with the powerful legacy of Marathon and its timeless significance.
