Fun, Affordable, and Unique - Our family with 3 young children sincerely enjoyed this. Greg is great with kids and tries his best to keep everyone involved - even an aloof 10 year old girl that has zero interest in Greek Warriors. Overall the experience is a nice history lesson in disguise and was quite fun. Also gets high marks for being a good value.

Be a warrior! - The experience with Grigorios was unforgettable! We definitely felt like greek warriors for one day, and we learned so much information about warriors history. Also, it is not needed to have experience or former training whatsoever, so it is adequate for most!
