Everything was as advertised! Perfect guides, excellent English, fit for the fittest - 3 miles of walking on uneven surfaces and lots of stairs. Meal preparation was greatly appreciated, learned a lot of new tricks to working with fresh veggies and filo. The best of spinach pies and stuffed peppers and tomatoes. Highly recommended.

What an amazing experience. Our guide for Delos was so knowledgeable and pleasant. We learned so much about Greek mythological history. I can't say enough about our cooking class experience. Teta, our 'teacher', was just a wonderful representation of Greek life. She was so pleasant and again very knowledgeable. Her experience around the kitchen was something to be admired and learned from. Her meal was delicious and I would tell anyone to go through this experience. A marvelous tour
