I have been on several Forktown Food Tours. Each tour is very well organized. I feel so very well taken care of (spoiled) and pampered. The only decisions that I have to make is what type of wine I would like to drink.
This tour far exceeded my already high expectations.
Heidi is always there providing 1st rate service to her clients. She is in constant communication with her guests. She is the driving force behind the incredible travel experience. She works very hard to provide the best vacation experience possible. She is a master of her profession.
Katerina, on site Greek guide,(https://g.page/r/CdatNaSlr94QEAI/review) brought a fresh perspective to our travels. She enjoyed providing knowledge and experiences during the tour. The highlight of the tour was meeting her family, talking to a young couple who went back to the olive groves to start a business (maps.app.goo.gl/4HDqCCBcifsgYXXK8)another couple who decided to return to the land of their ancestral farm (https://maps.app.goo.gl/JnT1ATHGM3xCmKML7)This was the first time, I was able to interact with real Greeks not just people I was buying things from or seeking a hotel room. Bus rides were also fun because of her love of music and her engagement with us. Kat made the drive time seem shorter.
Our specialty guides at different places, like the Athens City tour, the Acropolis tour, and the Kalamata food tour, our boat ride, were enthusiastic and fiercely proud of showing and educating us about their beloved country. Their enthusiasm was catching and made the tour more interesting.Even our tour bus driver, George, went above and beyond. We always felt very safe and the tour bus was always immaculate.
Since this is a food tour, I must say that the food in Greece is incredible. We usually ate family style with our small group of 12. The highlight for me was the freshly baked goodies from Aunt Toula, Katerina’s Aunt. It was a huge spread of deliciousness.
Our food tour of Kalamata by Maria was also another highlight. We had small tastings before a sumptuous lunch. I thought the food would never end. It confirmed my belief that there is no bad food in Greece. It is all delicious!
We also knew several people from previous tours which added to the fun. We were surrounded by people who enjoyed and enhanced our culinary experience.
One of the best tours yet! Jo
