    Enlightening tour and meal

    May 29, 2024

    David met us at the easy to find meeting point on time and took us on a tour of Naxos Town, providing current and historical information that felt genuine and relevant.

    The cheese tasting was interesting and whilst we were able to buy food from the deli there was no pressure to do so.

    The food preparation and meal was the highlight of the day and was simple for a novice like myself and still provided some tips and advice for the more experienced.

    David was an ideal guide throughout and even sent us pictures and recipes afterwards to save us having to take notes.

    Would highly recommend this tour.
