Blossom knew the city and took us to some great places. There were 3 couples which was perfect for conversation and not too many to keep track of. She knew her stuff and we learned a lot...as well as had fun making our own slouvaki!

Yummy food with great history

We loved this experience. There is some walking but not difficult to walk. We were able to see the open markets, churches, and have stops to eat delicious food. Maria was so passionate about her city and its customs. She explained so much about the food culture. Great evening.
