Natasha is an amazing guide. Do not miss the chance to do this food walking tour with her. Do not eat before you go. All the stops you go to have plenty of food and drink. She will fill your mind with her knowledge of both the history of the food and of coarse the places you visit.

Georgina was an incredible tour guide - sharing the rich history and mythology of the island. My wife and I had a great experience both walking through the town as well as stopping to sample local cheese, wine, and a hearty lunch! Was a highlight of the 10 days we spent in Greece. Highly recommend this!
