5.00Our family of four really enjoyed this tour. Booking and communication with Rebecca was easy and prompt. We had Gus as our guide. Gus was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the food, culture and history. He hand selected his favorite food and drink along the way and it made the tour feel very personalized. Absolutely recommend Grecian Luxe and ask for Gus!!!
Over the top!

5.00This once in a lifetime vacation went smoothly and without a hitch from start to finish because of Grecian Lux. I explained everything my daughter and I wanted to do and we did all of that and more. Every tour guide was very personable and informative and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you Rebecca!
Very poor Hikes and Bites Tour. Don't do this!

1.00One hour late. We were directed to wait at a spot by our hotel(CliffsideHotel) and we were early. Our guide was waiting elsewhere. No communication. We tried and the hotel tried. We were told by the supervisor when we found our guide that we wasted an hour. We would not get compensation. The restaurant was around the corner from our hotel. And our tour was now two hours. We were taken to a tourist place we could have gone to on our own for some tastes of cheese and jam and honey and a few dips. We walked about an hour, and then taken to a wine cellar that was interesting. We were then left in a square where there was another tourist restaurant for souvlaki that we could not eat as it was too soon after our tastes. We had to find our own way back to our hotel. Having said this, Gus our tour guide, was knowledgable and tried. Not a local tour by any means and would never recommend this to anyone no apology has ever been made. Joodi and Ron Pollock

A nice food tour where you have plenty of time to enjoy

5.00Our guide Gina accompanied us very well by giving us lots of interesting information, and answering all our questions. The tapas were delicious, as were the souvlaki and ice cream. Very nice also to discover the quiet Greek cafe in a cafe with views. In this excursion we have plenty of time to enjoy the stopover places and make beautiful photos.
