“Lovely private tour - We had a lovely private tour and were picked up right outside our apartment. Gina was very knowledgeable and passionate about the region and the wineries and we enjoyed learning about this. The two wineries we visited were very welcoming. We started out visiting some archeological sites in Nemea right before some tour buses arrived, so we managed to see them almost by ourselves.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-12
