The entire tour was outstanding and absolutely delicious! Elizabeth, our guide, was warm, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable. She not only introduced us to amazing food, but also brought the town’s history to life with her stories. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

We had a fantastic experience on the Naxos Town food tour with the wonderful Natasha as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable—not only did we learn so much about the rich history and culture of Naxos, but we also gained a deeper appreciation for its unique gastronomy. The food was absolutely delicious, with each stop offering something new and tasty. A perfect way to explore the island’s culinary and cultural heart. Highly recommend!

Had a fun time on this tour. Learned a lot about Naxos as well as eat different types of Greek foods. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Thoroughly enjoyed having a Greek family style dinner at the end.

This was possibly our favorite food tour we’ve ever done! Natasha, our guide, was incredibly friendly and warm, offering insights on food and culture as we walked from edge to edge of the old town. Her pacing was perfect for us, with a decent amount of casual walking between plenty of food and drink stops. We learned so much about the food, the culture, and even the town. We loved trying local cheeses, orange cake, the various drinks, wines and liquors, a three course dinner and more! Excellent value. Natasha was also very accommodating for a member of our group who didn’t partake in the alcohol, offering alternative local drink options. The town and the tour were really wonderful, but Natasha was the gem. 🩷
