Great cooking class - I arrived to the class a little late. It was a taxi and Uber strike, so it was difficult to locate the approximate location. The people were so nice and super kind and it was completely refreshing to meet Athenians who were able to offer excellent customer service and above all kindness.. Thank you

Must Do Greek Cooking Class in Athens! - Amazing experience learning to cook some classic Greek dishes from the people who know how to do it best, the Greeks! Our class host was amazing. He made learning how to make tzatziki, spanakopita, stuffed eggplants, dolmades, and orange pie very easy and simple and something we can easily recreate at home! A great way to spend an afternoon after seeing the sights of Athens and would highly recommend adding this to your trip itinerary!

Exceptional - Edina and Maria were very helpful and informative. Edina took us to the market and showed us around. She was friendly. The session was fun and again quite informative. We were in a group of 10 and the conversation was lively and interesting. We actually stayed longer that the finish time but they did not mind. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
