Wonderful Olive Oil Tour and Tasting - Great traditional lunch - This was a highlight of our holiday, a memory we will cherish and an experience we whole-heartedly recommend. We consider ourself foodies and were keen to learn more about the cuisine of Greece. This was a wonderful way to achieve that since we didin't want to visit the archealogical sites suggested from Katakolo. Understanding the way olives are grown, harvested and transformed into Olive Oil was very interesting and the tasting session was really enjoyable and even more informative than we’d expected. We came away with a much greater appreciation. Incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable driver with a smile and always there to help us! We did the tour with a comfortable new car.

Awesome Experience and Great Food! Definitely recommended! - This was one of my most favorite experiences while in Greece! To learn about olives, the process of making into olive oil and then tasting the different types was wonderful. The bonus was the restaurant food was one of the best meals I had in Greece! You would not be wasting your time or money with this tour. I totally recommend it if you want to taste greek traditional food!
