She has so much personal, Greek, and family history in this town with information and engaging stories that you can't get anywhere else. We stopped for a delectable treat at a Greek bakery, too.

Great Cultural Experience - Beautiful town of Tarpon Springs. Tour was full of information and photo opportunities. Locals are extremely friendly. Tour guide was professional and knowledgeable.

We had so much fun. The tour was a blast. - Our tour guide was extremely informative and provided an interesting and fun walking tour of the area along with a stop at an excellent bakery for pastry and coffee.

Very informative - Krisula was a very informative and enthusiastic guide having lived in Tarpon Springs for many years. However, she shared some stories and bits of information with no context, so I felt 'lost' at times. Much of that information was about her personal family rather than the Greek culture in general. Wish we could have seen a sponge prior to removal of its exoskeleton!

Krisula is an excellent guide. She has a genuine love for the city, sponge dock industry and the faith community. - Don’t miss this walking tour. We learned all about the sponge dock industry, Greek food and Greek faith. Great introduction to the town of Tarpon Spring

I’m not intentionally being mean spirited, but I want to write an honest review - I’ll start off by saying that Krisula was very cooperative in providing a tour for my group of three at a not-regularly-scheduled time. We were allowed to bring our dog. This tour is mostly about Krisula’s family, which is charming in a way, but not exactly educational. She is exuberant, but not very serious about history. A major portion of the tour was spent walking into the shops along the waterfront. We could have done that by ourselves. We visited a pretty little church called The Shrine of Saint Michael. Krisula’s family was instrumental in building and furnishing the shrine. Krisula found and donated one of the icons which is a painting of Virgin Mary and baby Jesus. Krisula stated that she saw the Mary figure shedding real tears. She evidently thinks that paintings can shed tears. This should tell you something. I thought we would walk through a boat or see the sponges being processed. That was not the case. Krisula did talk about the history of the sponge industry. She used the word “hooker”. I had to ask if she meant prostitutes. If I hadn’t asked, I don’t think she would have explained that it had to do with how sponges were harvested in the past. Her narrative was all over the place and, at times, hard to follow. She referred to the city as “Tarpon” rather than “Tarpon Springs”. At one point she said something about Tarpon being under water and it took me a moment to realize she was talking about the aftermath of a hurricane rather than the big silver fish. The best part of the tour was a visit to The National Bakery where we sampled various kinds of delicious Greek pastry. My favorite was a huge hunk of phyllo dough filled with custard, but again I could have eaten there without being part of the tour. All in all, we were a bit underwhelmed.

cancelled by hurricane - My trip was cancelled by Hurricane Helene. Please stop telling me to review my trip. I have been promised a full refund. Sending prayers for all the people whose lives have been turned upside down by this disaster.
