Excellent Cookery class and Olive tasting tour - We had the most amazing day. We were a family of 12 and 3 generations. Georgios was a fantastic host. He organised the outing to the market to buy all the fresh food for the cooking. Lola was an excellent chef. Both involved each one in the preparation. They prepared a menu which met our dietary requirements. The setting for the lunch was picturesque. Georgios also arranged our pick up from the hotel with a lovely driver Theodore. There were lots of other extras. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Georgios for a memorable day.

It is a great way to learn a little bit about Greek cooking! - A wonderful way to spend some family time. We brought our two teenage kids for the experience, and they loved it. From going to the market in Corfu town, shopping for the ingredients to preparing the food in the hosts' beautiful home and being educated about the family history in the area, it was a pleasure! Highly recommend :)

Can’t Recommend Enough! - It was such a fun and memorable experience! We started by learning a bit about the history of Corfu, which really helped us appreciate the local culture. Then we explored the local markets to pick out fresh ingredients, which was such a unique touch. After that, we drove up to our host’s home where we were welcomed so warmly and got to learn the art of Greek cooking firsthand. The host was absolutely delightful—so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing his culture. Highly recommend!

The highlight of our trip to Corfu - If you are hesitating to book this tour, don’t be and book it. George is an amazing host that opens his home and family to you! The food is delicious! This was the highlight of our trip in Corfu. A definite must!

Best ever! Do not miss this experience. - Truly wonderful experience with Yorgos and his wife. Kind, gracious and very knowledgeable, had such fun, met great people and cooked wonderful food. I will repeat this if I return to Corfu in the future, it was that good. My husband and I like to go on cooking classes when we travel, it is our way of meeting the local people and getting a genuine taste of the culture, this was the best one we have experienced yet! Thank you! Best, Laura and Mike

I’d give George and his team 10 stars if I could. - We had the most wonderful and memorable day with George and Lola. George’s hospitality and convivial spirit knows no bounds. He collected and dropped us off at our hotel and took us shopping for ingredients in Corfu Town sharing his knowledge of it’s history and taking us to taste the best feta cheese ever at a local cheese shop. He then entertained us at his home which is located amongst beautiful countryside and views. George and Lola taught us how to make cheese pies, proper tzatziki, Greek salad and spiced apple desert. After showing us his old olive press and olive grove we than had an olive oil tasting, followed by a delicious traditional Greek meal. This was a day of being spoilt by Greek hospitality and learning so much about the food, culture and way of life. A truly joyful day, we left tired, but with our hearts and stomachs full!!
