Nice and Easy!

A fun time for all. We had a chance to walk through a few local neighborhoods and experience a true Athens lifestyle. The food stops were great and offered a chance to relax with old and new friends in the group without feeling rushed or pressured. We enjoyed the variety of drink and food offered and would recommend this tour to visitors looking for a time away from the tourist hotspots.

Barbara was an amazing host and showed us wonderful places to eat. Even with a stop being closed, she was able to pivot and give us a great experience
