Great tour - Great tour with Tasos. The food was traditional Kefalonion with great variety and so much of it. Tasos certainly knew his stuff and gave us some very interesting info on the history of the island. Tasos was a great guide, very friendly and polite. Would highly recommend.

An evening well spent - Unfortunately on the day of our food tour it was very windy, however we still managed to enjoy it.
The tour was very informative both on the food and history of Kefalonia.
We started off trying four different cheeses, and seeing the market, which was closed as it was evening.
The cheeses were lovely, and the tomatoes with them.
We walked around Argostoli, were shown the sights and told about their history.
We tried some beautiful wines, and ended the evening with some gelato.
It was a good evening despite the weather, and Tasos our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Excellent value and run by enthusiasts! - Tasos and his wife, who joined us towards the end of the tour, are clearly both totally dedicated to providing a unique and enjoyable experience, and love both Argostoli and Kefalonia, it's culture, history and food! A great way to find out more about all these things, in our case with two other couples, also from the UK.
Exceptional value for money too, make sure you're hungry when you start the tour and have a bottle of water too.
Highly recommended.
