A wonderfully intimate evening with a fabulous guide who was a bonafide wine pro and also a local culture enthusiast who made us fall even more in love with Greece. Manolis organized wine and food pairings at some of Athen's local wine bars along a walk through funky, upbeat neighborhoods. We had a delightful conversation throughout an evening that ended in hugs and a promise to return!Written for: Greek Wine Dive

Manolis took us on a 3 hour walking and food tour of Athens. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and overall a great guide. He took us around Plaka giving us many opportunities to try authentic Greek cuisine while telling us the story and culture behind the food we were trying. His passion for food and Greece was apparent the whole tour. The food tour was the highlight of our stay in Athens, we left full, happy, and with a greater appreciation for the Greek people and culture.

Emmanouil’s tour is like going out with a great friend versus an actual tour. He’s incredibly personable and very knowledgeable about food and beer. The spots he took us to were diverse, and the views were beautiful at sunset. He was a great story teller and I learned so much about Greece.

Wow! One of the best experiences we have been on, no question. Learned a lot about beer, made new friends, and got to see neighborhoods that weren’t in the guidebooks. 11/10 Written for: Brews. Views & Neighborhoods
