5.00This was a great way to see the countryside. Tania was a very nice host and super accommodating. It was wonderful way to try many new Greek dishes and see Greek culture.
Come hungry!

5.00Great way to spend a few hours away from the regular touristy traps. Our group was small, 9 people and our driver Nikos was able to personally interact with everyone! We came in on a cruise ship, and although the port was not on the selected pickup spots, with a simple email we were able to get picked up in front of a grocery store directly across the street from the port exit. At each stop Nikos pointed out different plants and herbs in the wild that would be used in some of the food we ate along the way. Taking us for coffee, stopping at a family run cheese shop and bakery, and a local lunch all in more remote spots not as easily accessible without a personal driver made for quite a unique experience versus the standard cruise ship excursion.
Great opportunity to get...

5.00Great visit! Glad I took this tour instead of driving since it takes you to interesting places directly and you get to hear details that may not be easy to find
