Yvonne was great! Wonderful knowledge - great driver! She showed us the beauty that is just outside Athens. The wine experience was so much fun!
Thank you Susan for the 5 star review!!!! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the tour! I really enjoyed your company too. Im sure that we will meet again!! Have a great time
Panos and Venatia (sorry if misspelled) took us out of the busy city of Athens and into the beautiful country side. Not only was it relaxing but they were also so accommodating and knowledgeable. They even brought us some snacks (sandwich with veggies from his own garden!) The winery museum was much bigger than I have ever seen and Irina (the wine sommelier) was able to tell us not only history of the company and wine in Greece but recommend great Greek wine bar in Athens. Overall great time and great people!! We liked so much we saw them again next day:)
Thank you for the review!!! It was really a pleasure meeting you and offered you a great experience!!
Getting out of Athens and experiencing this tour is a must. Yvonne is amazing and shows you a side of Greece you can’t get without an off-road vehicle. Great scenery and you finish up with a wine tour and tasting that was also very fun
Thank you for your Review !!! It was a big plesure that I meet you and also that you enjoyed the tour . I hope to see you again ..and your Kids !!!
Our off-road experience was so much fun! Yvonne picked up my boyfriend and me at our Athens hotel and we headed out into the countryside. Soon we were bouncing along on rugged trails on the mountainside, among groves of olive, fig and pistachio trees, as well as vineyards. The scenery was stunning, and it was especially wonderful because there were no other people in sight for hours. It was as though we had the world to ourselves for a day. Our excursion included a visit to a lovely winery, Domaine Costa Lazaridi, and a private tour of Wine Museum. The museum is fascinating and contains hundreds of artifacts, and our guide was very informative. Our wine tour ended in a beautiful bar area, where we tasted several wines and enjoyed a scrumptious charcuterie. After enjoying our wines and snacks, we were back in Yvonne's vehicle for more adventures on the trails. We stopped at a high hilltop which overlooked beautiful Marathon Lake far below. As we stood there taking in the view, a rare August thunderstorm moved in. It was refreshing and beautiful! It made our ride down the mountainside even more of an adventure, as the pouring rain created rivulets everywhere. Yvonne is an excellent driver and navigated the rocky, winding, muddy trails like an expert. We had so much fun, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature, wine and good company. Yvonne is the best!
Thank you so much!!!!! Its very important for us, people that they have travel so much to enjoy our tour!!! I really enjoy your company too!!! and I want to see you again! till then ....travel as much as you wish !!!
An experience worth living at least once in a lifetime. We will definitely choose other routes. Yvonni, a wonderful, versatile, gifted person, who loves what she does and transmits it. The winery careful, friendly to the visitor with the awesome Mr. Christ to travel you into the magical world of wine. Thank you very much, we will see you soon on our next trip to Derbenochoria.

It is really worth living this experience.We had a great time both on the tour of the wine museum, trying wines and learning about their production as well as on the off-road driving.We also had the opportunity to drive the 4x4 vehicle which made the experience even more exciting.

A perfect gift for your husband... we learned a lot at the wine museum and experienced the ultimate off-road experience by vehicle 4x4 around the lake of Marathon. And all this just a few hours away from Athens.
