Great night. Long drive. - The evening was very enjoyable. Loved hearing the music and seeing the dances from different areas of Greece. Food and wine were delicious and plentiful. Downside to the event was how long it took to get there. My ride was a total of 2.5 hours. I was solo. So with others I'm assuming it would not have felt so long.

Mixed Experience - Overall not the best experience. On the positive side the journey up into the mountains to reach our destination was quite spectacular in the evening sun. Food was varied and of good quality. The entertainment was done with skill, enthusiasm and passion and well worth the ticket price. On the negative side the journey time from pickup to destination was nearly 90 minutes and very convoluted. With very narrow lanes and roads you had to admire the drivers handling of his coach. When we arrived at the venue it was at best organised chaos with jam packed tables squeezed into every available space. Our tour guide could have been more helpful at this point rather than just waving at tables to indicate where we could sit. Would I do this trip again? Possibly but I would review other options from other tour operators first.

Not worth the time invested - I would spend double the money or even triple to not have a 6 hour round trip bus ride, better food and more professional entertainment. It is not the performers fault as they seem young and inexperienced. I think the proper expectations should be set for a more rookie type show with basic foods. They also ran out very quickly and had some frustrated patrons. It’s not worth the time invested though the hosts were excellent.
