“Excellent tour! Our guide, Greg, was fantastic. Personable, funny, informative. He had it all. We were a group of 8, and Greg told us at the beginning of the tour that he was going to stuff us. Was he ever right! Not only was the savoury food amazing, so were the drinks and desserts. The Tour included places such as the local market to see all the fresh meats and fish, a local shop that sold a variety of plants and herbs, and many tavernas and bakeries. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. If you’re lucky enough to get Greg, you’ll love it too. Stop…”
