Dionysius was very knowledgeable and educated re: Athens & ancient history. I most enjoyed our conversations as he cleared up many historical questions related to the sites & cultural areas we visited.

No earphones provided so couldn’t hear the guide despite being a group of 5 in total. The guide was a lovely person but most of the experience was awkward. Food was nice but to be honest nothing special or different, we would have easily found it ourselves!

A bit pricey I thought but an enjoyable evening after a transatlantic flight. Good for our first evening when we were tired and didn’t want to figure out dinner plans. Ate any things we may not have tried otherwise. Got off the beaten track and away from tourists.

Helen was very informative. The good we sampled was great and gave a nice overview of Greece cuisine. We tried food we would not have ordered on our own and loved it!
