Perfect tour with plenty of wine!

5.00We had an exceptional afternoon with Christos (so sorry if we have it slightly wrong!). He was so engaging and full of interesting history and Greek mythology. The wine was incredible. Definitely medium-large glasses of white, rose and red followed by a surprisingly tasty raki! Thank you for a brilliant tour and taking us to such beautiful parts of Naxos!
We had a great time!

5.00Amazing tour which I will highly recommend. The tour guide was knowledgeable of Naxos Mythology and we enjoyed the stories. We stopped at, at least three or four places for different kinds of wine and cheese and ended our tour at the temple of Apollo. The length of the tour is just enough.

2.00Was a bit disappointed by this tour. It is very very similar to the Naxos food tour. Had the same exact stops. It was a bit on the boring side and I felt like I did not learn a whole lot about Greek Mythology. Our tour guide was lovely and that was the only redeeming part of the tour. I wouldn’t label this a wine tour because you got one small glass of wine in the beginning while standing in a cheese store and during the tour you just walk around for two hours with no wine. The end you get 2 small glasses of wine. I do not feel like this was worth the money and if I were to do it again I would skip this experience.
Boring with no wine

1.00This was essentially a mythology tour—and unfortunately, a rather dull one. We didn’t receive any wine until the very end, and even then, it was just two very small samples. I’ve been on wine tours all over the world, and I’ve never encountered such tiny pours with no explanation about the wines themselves. This experience had the potential to be much more engaging and interactive, but instead, it felt like a dry PBS documentary. Also way to expensive for what we got.
Great information on mythology

4.00Make sure you eat dinner before you go. It was a long tour. There could have been more refreshments . You learn a lot about the mythology of the island.
