We booked this tour because we thought food was a great way to learn about Greek culture and people. And it really was! Not only did we try the local specialties, but we also learned how local products (wine and cheese) were made. We also met and chatted with many locals who were the most kindhearted people! Our guides were also wonderful and had so much knowledge about the Greek tradition and food history. We highly recommend this tour!
