“This was a really excellent tour and well worth the price! Maria is a passionate and informative guide who is easy to talk to and learn from. We knew nothing about olive oil going in, and we learned so much by the end. Visiting an olive grove, an olive oil mill cooperative, and then doing a tasting with a professional taster, we learned all about the process of making olive oil and the history of olives in Greece and had a great time doing it. I would recommend this tour to anyone I knew was going to Greece.”
