Our family of 6 was so excited for this tour! After doing so many historical tours this was a delightful break! The food was FANTASTIC!! And our guide was perfect. There were about 15 in our group which was the perfect size! We learned a lot about Greek food and wine as well as the city! It was all small bites, but even with the 15 of us we could not finish all that was provided. So GO HUNGRY!!

Spent three hours in the morning touring the Acropolis and the museum — absolutely worth it! Going early meant cooler weather and fewer crowds, so we could really enjoy the history and the views. The Acropolis was stunning, and the museum tied everything together beautifully. Such a great experience start to finish.

The experience was filling! We were able to have delicious, local food while experiencing the meat and fish markets, spice shops, and olive oil tastings! Ariela (I hope I spelled it right) was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us along the way as we ate way too much!
