This was an amazing experience. Our guide Thalia was a font of knowledge, plus very personable. We enjoyed everything about it, from the pleasant walk to the tasting. I think we may have become olive oil connoisseurs. A great way to spend a morning then go shopping. I would do this again.
Wow!!! This was an amazing experience. Our Guide Thalia was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of olives, the whole process of production and best of all the tasting. I feel like I learned so much about olive oil that I just might become an olive oil snob. Such a great experience.
Excellent tour! Very knowledgeable about olive oil. I will do it again just to hear how she explains the difference.
Eddie, I am really glad reading how much you enjoyed the tour! You are more than welcome to visit again, I will be more than happy to explain everything allover!
If you’re visiting Athens and looking for a unique, authentic experience, I highly recommend the olive oil tasting! It was not only incredibly delicious, but also educational and deeply rooted in Greek tradition. We tasted six different types of olive oil, each with its own distinct aroma, bitterness, and spice. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, walking us through how to properly taste olive oil and what makes high-quality oil stand out. This tasting is perfect for curious travelers or anyone who wants to experience Greek culture through its most iconic ingredient. It’s a hidden gem and easily one of the highlights of our trip to Athens!
Dear Henika, thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous words! I'm truly happy to hear that the olive oil tasting was a highlight of your time in Athens. It means a lot to know that you found the experience both enjoyable and meaningful — that’s exactly what I aim to offer: a delicious journey through Greek culture and tradition. I hope our paths cross again on your next visit! Best regards, Thalia
