Anu – United States

Our tour guide was amazing! She knew so much about Greek culture, history, and of course the food - how it connected all. We had such a great time

R
Rosie – United Kingdom

Dimitri was a fantastic guide, so friendly and so knowledgeable. A great experience for us and our two children aged 11 and 8. Food was beautiful and we went to places that are off the normal tourist route. We were absolutely full of food after this. Feel like we had a real insight into Greek culture and cuisine. Totally recommend.
