Let us introduce you to non touristic traditional Greek food in hidden spots in Athens! The type of food and places you most probably would not find on your own! Tours on Monday to Saturday starting before 3.00pm are centered in the market area and Psiri. Tours after 3pm or on Sunday are in the area of Psiri but not in the market During the market tour we visit local streets and markets full of colour, scents and noise, eat fruits and olives and fresh fish or lamb with Greek salad right inside the market. Drink coffee made the traditional way(see it being made) in a local coffee shop. Visit a deli and try something with a twist-its a surprise! During the Psiri tour we visit two hidden tavernas and eat traditional food with ouzo and barrel wine. We walk through the area of Psiri and try something sweet at the end our tour! Two full meals and tastings offered as you learn about our culture from people who live it daily. You will know many people in Athens at the end of this experience!

Inclusions: Lamb with a beautiful Greek salad, Gyros made with pork or chicken and served with creamy tzatziki, cured meat and cheese, breads, egg plant salad, Greek yoghurt with honey, Locally grown nuts, bougatsa. cured meat, seasonal fruits, sweet halva made with sesame, seasonal fruits and handmade cheese, Ouzo or raki and locally made barrel wine.

Rachel showed us some great places that would have been impossible to find by ourselves. I recommend to take the tour at the beginning of your stay in Athens, because otherwise you will regret all the hidden gems you missed out. We went with our 2 1/2 year old daughter in the stroller and it was really no problem at all. Rachel adapted the tour to our needs whenever required and really helped us a lot. It was an amazing experience for us all!

For my 35th birthday this september I reserached and researched the web to find the best cruise to take with my friends for an sunset experience. After thoughtfully comparing all the companies I decided to contact and book with Ari. They have been so service minded, responded quickly, listened to my wishes and found solutions. I was so much looking forward to this trip! However Covid-19 happened and unfortunately I had to cancel the trip to Greece and therefore contacted Ari again. Once again, even though they are suffering from these hard times and cancelled trips, they showed me nothing but understanding, service minded and fast replies again. We were able to find a solution and even though we are not coming this year, I am certain that when (not if) Im actually able to go to Mykonos I will book a cruise with them. Loyalty and high service is very important to me, therefor I would personally really recommend them. Best of luck, I hope to see you soon!

Aris has been so amazing with helping me with my booking alteration during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. He is very reasonable and understanding of the situation. As soon as I can, I will rebook my trip with him, because of his kindness and professionalism. Looking forward to coming to Mykonos once the world is better :) You are in excellent hands with this company. I highly recommend them.

We visited Santorini for couple of days in October and our hotel recommended us santomax for an unforgettable wine tour. Very informative, our tour guide was professional and because of Covid 19 the van and the wineries have all the equipment to keep us safe! Thank you for that experience. Stay safe.

Our tour went to a slightly rough start because there was a mix up on the hotel (they were waiting in the hotel next door), but that got straightened out quickly. Our guide, Aurora, was very knowledgeable with the sights and the history of Athens, with no questions unanswered. Visiting the Acropolis and the museum was just amazing - it's also good that there weren't a lot of crowds this time of the year. Aurora was very good at cautioning us where to walk and not to walk, and we truly appreciate that she took care of us up to the time when we asked her for lunch recommendations. Thank you!
