Marmersnijwerkplaats : Creëer uw sterrenbeeld in marmer

Unfortunately, this workshop was a major disappointment for our entire group and did not match what was advertised on Viator. We booked the workshop well in advance and, through Viator, agreed with the organizer to change the start time from 7:00 PM to 3:00 PM. This change was confirmed several times by the organizer. However, when we arrived, it became clear that they had forgotten about our group and still had us scheduled for 7:00 PM. Only after our Greek tour guide spoke directly with the organizers was the situation resolved, causing an unnecessary delay that negatively affected the rest of our day's program. The workshop itself was another disappointment. Although it is advertised as a three-hour experience, the actual marble carving lasted only about one hour. Before that, there was a short introduction about creativity, and we were encouraged to express ourselves freely. In the end, however, everyone was given the same paper template to follow, so there was very little room for creativity. The biggest difference between the advertisement and reality was the final result. The photos on the Viator listing suggest that participants will create beautiful, detailed marble artwork. Unfortunately, the reality was completely different. Every participant ended up with a very simple piece that looked nothing like the examples shown in the promotional photos. The workshop felt more like a basic craft activity for children than an art experience designed for adults. Considering the price of nearly €80 per person, we believe the value for money was very poor. We expected a much higher-quality experience. This is not just the opinion of one person. All 12 participants in our group shared the same disappointment. We are sorry that the actual experience and the quality of the workshop did not match what was advertised. For that reason, we unfortunately cannot recommend this experience.

Such a unique experience! I love that I got to take a part of Greece with me that was also personal. The guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. It was so cool to see his work. He even snapped a couple pics and took a video of me. I wish I was in Athens for longer because he was so inviting and accommodating in inviting me back to add more details! Loved this experience.
