Katerina was an amazing guide. Professional, enthousiastic, knowledgeable and she has a great sense of humor! We did a private tour which really added to the experience. Lovely stops, food and drinks. Thank you Katarina!
The walk was so fun and interesting, our guide was such a delight and explained every dish to us. She also tailored the tour to our preferences to ensure we got to try and eat what we would like to!
What a find! Amazing place with friendly and approachable service. Amazing Greek vinos selection, great food of top quality, surely one of the best Restaurants in Athens! What’s worth noting, is extraordinary selection of Greek origin cold cuts as well as small local farm cheeses!!! We will definitely be back!!!
