Great 4.0
We learned a lot about the Greek food. The guide gave a very informative insight about the evolution of the Greek cuisine. The three-hour or so tour may not be enough to understand the history of the Greek food but the last food stop was able to give us a representation of the variety of the Greek cuisine.

One of the best highlights of my Athens trip. Even though it was a long trip, around 4 hours one way, it was organized very well, so we could have enough time exploring 3 monasteries and take some photos with great views in the backdrop. Transport was comfortable, and the guide was super nice and helpful, and explained all the details we needed to know about the area. Well worth the time and money. Recommended for anyone.

I joined a cruise tour with hotel pickup that visited Hydra, Poros, and Aegina in that order. The cruise ship was a luxurious, three-story vessel. After touring Hydra, there was a buffet-style lunch. The stay on each island was about 1 to 1.5 hours. About half the time was spent traveling from island to island. It was quite hot on the roof deck, but it was enjoyable with the musical performances. It was a satisfying day.
