The local food experiences were excellent. The vegan cooking workshop in Athens was a particular highlight - great fun and excellent hosts. There was a good mix of visits/activities and free time.

An amazing experience in Greece. We participated in 3 cooking lessons which were all different and fantastic fun. Learnt a great deal about Greek cuisine and learnt many new skills The tastings of olive oil, ouzo, honey and wine were extremely informative and very enjoyable. The transport was excellent as were the drivers. The tour leader was very knowledgable, approachable and helpful. A fantastic tour which we would highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was well organised and ran very smoothly. We saw and experienced so much but it didn’t feel rushed as there was plenty of downtime also. Hotels were all good, any included meals were excellent and all the producers we visited were so welcoming and happy to share their knowledge and passion. Could easily go back and do it all again!

Excellent trip but an extra day on Crete would be good. City tour of very hilly Athens should have been partly by vehicle.

A really well balanced tour from Crete to the Peloponnese with Athens and Poros in between. As well as the absorbing food related activities, the tour visited key sights, such as the Acropolis and Epidavros Theatre, as well as allowing a good amount of free time to do your own thing. Everything was tied together much more seamlessly than you could do yourself and the enthusiasm of Christos, the tour leader, topped it all of nicely. A great tour!
