Wow amazing food tour!!!! - Everything was fantastic. Tamos was extremely interesting and knowledgeable. The foods were delicious especially the meat pie. I am diabetic so just tried lots of bits and was able to take the rest for tomorrow. A fantastic tour to remember. Do not eat all day. Lots of delicious food.

Lovely experience! - We really enjoyed this food tour around Argostoli, led by Tassos. We tried local dishes including different Kefalonian cheeses & honey, salt cod and garlic sauce, traditional Kefalonian meat pie, 4 types of local wine, local sweets and ice cream. Tassos knows all about the local food and history, it was a relaxed and very enjoyable evening he even brought along tomatoes and oregano from his own grandmother’s garden.

Unmissable Food Adventure ! - Excellent Food Tour with Tina & Thassos. The young couple are so interesting and friendly, very good English speakers and very well educated on the history of the area. They are an inspiration to the locals, sharing some of the food secrets with us tourists and ensuring that you visit the proper family food producers. I was never a rose fan until i went on this tour and tasted the local rose. Really lovely food. We really enjoyed the tour, they ran it even though it was just the hubby and I, now that's dedication. I would advise anyone visiting the island to do this tour, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent guide, great value, amazing food and brilliant way to get to know Argostoli on foot in the evening - Never been on a food tour before. But our excellent guide introduced us to amazing food - cheese, kefalonia meat pie, fried fish and ice cream - and wine as we walked through Argostoli and found out more about the city. The tour was great value - no need for dinner before or afterwards - and provided a brilliant way to get to know Argostoli on foot in the relative cool evening. Highly recommended for early in your holiday, so you know where to go afterwards.

Brilliant tour - I would highly recommend this tour! Thassos and Tina were very informative and told us all about the various (and delicious!), food and drink that was included in the tour. They also explained the local traditions and origins associated with each item and also shared lots history about Argostoli and Kefalonia. Myself and my sister have been coming to the island for 20 years and we still learned lots of things. I would strongly recommend this tour even if you've also visited many times and think you know everything that Argostoli / Kefalonia has to offer.

An evening well spent - Unfortunately on the day of our food tour it was very windy, however we still managed to enjoy it. The tour was very informative both on the food and history of Kefalonia. We started off trying four different cheeses, and seeing the market, which was closed as it was evening. The cheeses were lovely, and the tomatoes with them. We walked around Argostoli, were shown the sights and told about their history. We tried some beautiful wines, and ended the evening with some gelato. It was a good evening despite the weather, and Tasos our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Great guide - Tassos was a great guide and provided a lot of Interesting information about the island and its history We enjoyed tasting and learning about the different cheeses and pastries (fish pie and meat pie) which we may have otherwise not tasted. The wine tasting was a little disappointing as the wine was all room temperature and we had to stand in a small shop, but we understand that once the wine producers move to a larger premises this will be improved and local snacks will be provided to go with the wine. Towards the end of the tour we were joined by Tassos’ wife who also gave us a lot of useful information of where to visit in the island and we enjoyed a leisurely gelato with them both just off the main square while we chatted A very pleasant evening
