Top Athens Wine Tasting Tours - page 2

Yummy food - 5pm was a good time as was not too hot and the locations weren't too busy as the Greeks eat later! Our group was small - only 8 in total which was lovely and Lots of yummy food to try at different locations - we were very full! thanks to Dimitrius for a lovely time.

It was a great experience, but will say it felt a bit quick and not as amazing compared to other experiences we had in vacation. For the tour/site itself it was perfect! Just lower ranked on all sites we visited so may not be a “must see” for everyone. It was a long drive but they kept everyone engaged on the way up giving historical stories and let everyone sleep on the way back. Our guide was great and super excited to tell us the history. She walked us through the site itself and gave history which helped a lot since there weren’t many plaques to read so we would’ve been on our own for learning the relevance of items. The museum/food store/book store is extremely busy and we went in early June which is technically off season (aka our guide got scolded a few times for not moving quick enough in the museum). It’s really hot at the site area and a lot of climbing so be prepared! The lunch was really good and quick but unorganized. The drinks are super overpriced (4 euro for a soda) so don’t order those there but the food itself is delicacies from the area (boar, rooster or a vegetarian option) and tasted good for being tour food!

Well-organized day trip to Delphi. Micheal G. was a knowledgeable and charismatic guide and I appreciated that he had academic training in archaeology and Greek art. He wove myth and modernity together in a fun and engaging narrative through humor, culture, and personal anecdote. (Best wishes with your ongoing PhD!) Our driver, Apostolos, got us safely to and from our destination. Overall a good value for the price of the excursion, although I would have preferred more time in the museum and site instead of a stop in Arachova.
