Highly recommend! What an amazing experience and a great way to see poseidon temple & lake vouliagmeni. This day tour is a must! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The ride was very comfortable and smooth and easy. They even customized it for us to include wine tasting at a local vineyard! We loved the wine makers and the entire experience, a must!
What a wonderful day! Our driver Dimitris was extremely knowledgeable of the area and so pleasant. We enjoyed learning about the history of the Markou winery and really enjoyed the wine tasting with the fruit and cheese pairing. So sad many of these aren’t available in the states. The grounds were beautiful and our sommelier was friendly and very knowledgeable. The 2nd winery was equally as pleasant and surprising in a residential area. We thoroughly enjoyed the thoughtful pairings of bruschetta, sausage and cheeses with each variety. The sparkling wine was delightful. We were greeted by several members of this family run winery which only added to the warm and made the experience more inviting. We loved this private tour for our family group and would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys wine.
It was a great experience. Very personal. Two workshops they arranged to were very unique with great wine. A lot of in depth knowledge sharing. They gave me a nice gift from Greece too.
We really enjoyed our day!! Excellent driver and fun wine tasting experience. Sight seeing around the area was beautiful.
Dimitris was an awesome driver! the experience at both wineries was perfect! I didn't have much experience with greek wines when we started but left with a wealth of knowledge
We had the best time on our last day in Greece. I would highly recommend this wine tour. Theo went above and beyond to show us around. I would recommend adding the Temple of Poseidon. Ntina and her daughter at winery were very helpful and knowledgeable in tasting the wines. Maria at Marco Vineyard was kind, caring, thought provoking and a great ambassador to her vineyard. My kids 18 and 20 also enjoyed the wines and wisdom. We will be back.
My partner and I really enjoyed this private wine tour and the views at the Temple of Poseidon as well as the drive along the coast were breathtaking. The oenologists were very informative and taught us about the history of winemaking in Greece.
We had two great wine tastings with excellent quality and food. Both of the presentations were given by very knowledgeable people. We highly recommend this tour and purchased several bottle of wine. We are now very impressed with Greek wine. Jerry S
We went to a winery workshop and tried different wines that the actual winery made, and it was fantastic. It came with small bites to share, and the host was very knowledgeable about the various wines, and went into depth about the entire wine making process. Afterwards, we were taken to the Temple of Poseidon and there, our guide recommended a beautiful lunch by the sea and it was perfect. It was a very memorable experience for us. Thank you!
We experienced the half day wine tasting at the workshop and stopped by the Temple of Poseidon and had a beautiful lunch by the sea. Perfect!
Amazing experience. Our driver, Giorgos was very nice and pleasant to talk to. The wines we had on the tasting were great! The second winery in particular, Markou Vineyards, has really great wines, with Maria Markou giving a nice tour in their wine museum, and great insights on the wines we tasted. Recommended experience.
The entire experience was top notch! The staff the driver the experience & of course the wine. Ordered several bottles.
We took this amazing tour in Athens vineyards. We tasted delightful awarded Greek wines that were accompanied with cold cuts and cheeses from all over Greece. The sommelier explained us the history of Greek wining and we had a lovely time. Ioannis is very punctual and polite and makes you feel really comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour!
The guides were very responsive throughout the tour and the wineries we visited were very good. The wine I tasted was very good.
