Top Naxos tour!

5.00This was our top Naxos tour. We got to sample many items and learn more about the food from Naxos at some awesome locations. The highlight was the family style dinner. Our tour guide Angelica was a delight and helped the group get to know each other while also sharing some great historical insights.

5.00Our guide was a delightful gentleman who related well to all tour participants. He was especially kind to my 11 year old grandson involving him in all discussions…asking questions that involved thoughtful answers. The food sampled was good, stops at various locations just the right amount of time. The dinner was fabulous. I most particularly enjoyed the sampling of olive oils. I bought 4 different bottles! I did this tour 2 years ago with my granddaughter and enjoyed it just as much if not more the second time. I enthusiastically recommend.
Fun tour around the Chora!

5.00This walking food tour was outstanding. Our guide, Angelica, was an absolute sweetheart who made the experience perfect. She is an architect and with that was very knowledgeable about the very rich history of the town and surrounding areas in addition to her knowledge and passion for local culture and gastronomical delights. The slow walk through the town with many stops to sample authentic Naxian and other Greek delights and to point out interesting facts was highly memorable and a highlight of our trip.
