We were so lucky to have some how ended up with a private tour with the lovely Lena as it was a quiet week. Every single stop was delicious and Lena was full of so much knowledge and information. We skipped lunch for the evening tour and we are so glad we did as there was so much food. The olive oil tasting in a Chinese was bit random but the people were lovely in it. If you are in to food, book this as you won't regret it
Highly recommend this tour! The food was absolutely incredible, and our guide Lena was so much fun, and very knowledgeable about everything you might want to know
Our host Gabriel gave a fantastic tour both culinary but also as a guide through Firas streets. We tasted delicious food, heard about traditions at a pace that all along was adapted to our trip, both with reference to Santorini's history and also his own origin
I highly recommend this food tour. Our guide was very friendly and spoke English well. We tried many different foods including Greek coffee, beer, wine, slovaki, tomatoes, olive oil and several other foods. Also learned alot about authentic Greek yogurt and olive oil. Group was small (7 people). Dont hesitate and book this tour.
This was a really good tour and you learn a lot about the different Greek cuisine, customs and culture. My entire family enjoyed the tour.
The host was great and we learned a lot, but the food was meh. This may be due to my own particular taste.
Gabriel was a great guide - choose wonderful restaurants with plentiful delicious foods & drink. Filled with great tips on food history’s
Our guide Elena was very knowledgeable and friendly, we were lucky to have a small group so we were able to ask lots of questions. The food was delicious with a great selection of dishes and drinks, some familiar and others new. Would highly recommend this tour early on in the holiday to familiarise with the local food and best places to eat.
Amazing food tour and guide. We were able to enjoy the incredible views while learning and experiencing Greek culture. I enjoyed the small group and our friendly guide. A must do!
We are so happy we went on this tour! Lena was our guide and she was wonderful. She was fun, upbeat, and gave us so much information about not only the food but the culture. We got to see so much of the area that we wouldn’t have stumbled upon without her guidance. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Santorini!
