Excellent experience
Vassilis was excellent! We filled up on all kinds of amazing food and he filled in a lot of history as we walked around too. Our group consisted of people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, plus some teenagers and we all agreed it was well worth the money.

There was a ton of food- I went in hungry, per suggestions of other reviewers and left so so full. All around great way to get more of a local experience than if ...read more
