Wine tasting tour and nightlife

The tour was so awesome! We did this at the beginning of our stay in Athens. We got to know pubs that we would never have found. The rooftop bar was terrific. Thanks to our guide Jenny! She was just terrific and so full of life. It was a special evening. We learned so much about Athens, but also about life in Greece. An absolute must during a visit to Athens!

Mr

Really enjoyed this tour, not only for the opportunity to taste some drinks we probably would not have experienced ordinarily but also for the walk around, and through, some really interesting areas of this beautiful city. Introduction to a few of the hidden gems that will definitely repay a visit. Jenny was a great host and an excellent guide - knowledgeable, lively, enthusiastic and always ready and willing to answer whatever questions we had. Wish we had done this on our first night in Athens, rather than the last!

The tour is wonderful, we had the opportunity to find many hidden gems and local places around Athens, while still learning about the history and culture. Following this was a wine tasting at an authentic greek place, where we learned about all the different wines we were trying.
