Cultural and authentic experience worlds apart from the party atmosphere in Mykonos - Unfortunately, most people go to Mykonos for the party atmosphere. This experience was well worth the afternoon and evening spent! We got to feed farm animals, hear the history and a lot of interesting information about the agriculture on the island, and spend an amazing evening with new friends in the group. The food was fantastic and plentiful! The wine was flowing, too. Our guide Babis (aka The General) was so much fun and had us all laughing throughout. He encouraged the group to participate in all activities and got the conversation started at the dinner table.

Great time and great food! - What a wonderful time we had on this tour. Babi was such a great host who was knowledgeable about Greek food and agriculture. We fed the donkeys, cows, goats and sheep, which are NOT slaughtered for food. They are given to habitats when they age.
Now, to the best part, the food! What a delight! We started with white and rose wine. Then we had Greek salad, spinach pie, cheese pie, a sausage tray, a meat platter, grilled vegetables, and yogurt with blueberries for desert. When I say we ate until we were stuffed would be an understatement.
The nice part about the experience was we had a community dinner with other guests, which allowed us to meet and chat with some wonderful people. The overall experience was absolutely fantastic and we will cherish the memories of Babi, the people we met, and the great food we ate.

Nice farmhouse meal off the beaten path of busy Mykonos - We enjoyed our meal. The owners are trying to create a unique, sustainable experience on the island. Some details need to be worked out a little, but overall pleased with the experience.

Not as described. - What we experienced was completely different from the description. There were no cooking demonstrations in which we were asked to participate in, no salad, no tzatziki prepared. We mostly heard about what was coming to the farm, not what was there. I would like to know how to get a refund on the portions of the experience we missed.

Unfair Business Practices - We were unable to attend this event because the weather was such that the Union in Greece could not find us a safe place to anchor. Our cruise ship was not allowed to anchor so it was physically impossible for us to attend yet, they will not refund our money. I understand if I just changed my mind but I did not. I was prevented from attending. Do not trust this vendor to be fair.
