Worthless trip

1.00We were very disappointed. We had to take a taxi from our hotel in Athens to the port. Cost 30 euros. Then by boat to the island 39 euros for two people. We were picked up neatly on time and were back in port within 1 hour. Guided tour cost 78 euros for two people and was nothing. Tasting was a spoon from a jar, but all the pictures on the site we didn't see any of it. Because the harvest is in August/September the trees were now bare. There wasn't a movie or anything where you could watch the process from start to finish. We found it mainly focused on buying as much as possible in their store. And book extra tour at 50 euros per hour to show you something of the island. And back to Athens was the same again. Boat and taxi pay. Very expensive day for what you get. Definitely not worth it. Too bad we expected more of it. At least sit down with a cup of coffee and taste some things and something of a movie when there is nothing to see like that.
Pistachio heaven

5.00I came this month with some friends and we had so much fun learning about the history of the island on the scenic route to the beautiful Pistachio trees. Here I learned all about the history of the trees on Aegina and why these nuts are so sometimes voted the best in the world. The factory tour was a great insight! Kiki and Pantelis kept us entertained and created a really enjoyable tour! Thank you Kiki for this memorable experience !

5.00It was (for us) to find the meeting point /lack of good way findings - the length was ok, the tour guy was informative and kind. Not knowing anything about pistachio , this was interesting for us
Waste of money and time

1.00Be cautious before booking. Booked a ‘2-hour pistachio tour,’ but what we received was a 90-minute drive with very little actual pistachio-related activities. The tour was much shorter and not what was advertised. I requested a partial refund, which was confirmed but I haven’t received anything. When I followed up, the company tried to shift the blame to group size (“group was too small”) which makes no sense. This experience was a complete waste of time and money.
Perfect

5.00Everything was wonderful! Pantelis was a fabulous guide and he was also so good at engaging our kids on the tour (one of them a teenager, one a pre-teen)! We got a very nice overview of the islands history and a very entertaining overview of pistachios. Also a nice tasting a the end of it all. And their pistachios are just incredible!

5.00Lovely time with my family after going with my friends earlier in the year. Still don’t think I brought home enough pistachio butter! Really interesting tour made fun for the kids by the guide. The island is so beautiful you could do anything there and have a nice time but I highly recommend this
