This food tour was a nice combination of Greek history and Greek history of food. Lots of great shops! Enjoyed a nice variety of taste from breads/cookies, cheese with honey and spoon sweets, Herb shops, the central market, and our personal favorite which was the smoked meat!! The tour ended with a light lunch of Souvlakia sandwiches.. Our tour guide was just amazing, if you can request Sophie please do it you will be glad you did! We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and bring a backpack you’re sure to make plenty of purchases!

Beautiful boat spoiled by the grumpy captain who was extraordinarily rude to our lovely guide which we thought was unprofessional and unnecessary. We felt uncomfortable and it made the experience unpleasant to start with, although once on the boat it was fine.

Loved every moment of our private tour. Nikolaos, our host and driver, was courteous, flexible, and knowledgeable about Greek’s long history. He was a pleasure to have around, and helped to make our day a memorable one. The wineries and the Nemea region were lovely. Make sure if you’re booking the 50% online option, remember that you still need to pay the other half to the driver on the day.
