We were so excited for our olive oil seminar and wine tasting experience. Our tour guide Agathi was very accommodating from the very start. We had our tour scheduled on a national day of protest which happened to be taking place very close to our hotel in Athens. Agathi picked us up at our hotel and began the walking tour from there in order to make sure we were safe and could get around the area without any trouble.
The olive oil seminar was so educational and nothing like anything we had experienced before. We learned so much about what makes for good olive oil and how it changes the taste of food. There were many different food and olive oil pairings, some of which you would never imagine like chocolate mousse!
Next we headed to a wine bar where a very knowledgeable wine enthusiast walked us through a tasting of different Greek wines. We were even able to tour their very impressive wine cellar and were offered a very generous cheese board to enjoy.
Agathi then walked us around popular downtown spots in Athens as she explained to us about the culture, people, history, etc.
We loved this walking tour and Agathi! She was so accommodating to us and helped make us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. This is definitely a great experience!
If you are looking to be educated while having some fun, this is the tour for you!
