hapiness lessons from the past

Published on Dec, 2024

This is an excellent way to catch the spirituallity of Athens and to discover also the archelogical sites around Acropolis at the same time.There is so much wisdom at the places we have visited. This unique experience can show you the recipe of shelf knowledge with very specific steps.The path is different to every philosophical approach but the result is alaways CALM and EUDAIMONIA (blissful).This tour is useful to all people who they believe at the personal development prosess

Enlightening

Published on Nov, 2024

Lampros is a breath of fresh air. He is passionate, genuine, and caring. He has done the work to educate the masses about the plethora of philosophers who have impacted the world. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to become a person.

A genuine philosophy tour at an affordable price!

Published on Jul, 2023

Lampros was very nice since the beginning (even though we were a bit late) and showed us places that you may not even notice while walking on your own around Athens. The deepness of the explanations will vary depending on how interested in the subject you are, but it is worth it to ask him everything you may know to end up having meaningful conversations about stoicism, the myth of the Cave or epicureism. There was also good audiovisual content that helped us get some extra information!

Super storytelling by Lampros

Published on Jul, 2023

I had a very personalised tour of the history of Athens. I was captivated with Lampros’ ideas of philosophy and psychology through his incredible storytelling, usage of videos to describe the philosophical ideas and making our way to important landmarks by foot. It has made me want to learn more about the subject. I would highly recommend!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE IN Athens

Published on Apr, 2023

That was an amazing experience. We had been informed for all the archeological sites and also we had the receipe of happiness of Soctates Plato Aristotle Epicurus at the places theories were born. This tour may help you to find your best version
