Fantastic! Loved our guide Athina. She had the coolest facts about the market and city. So many things we didn’t know. The four donut stops were very unique. We enjoyed trying places we never would have thought of, and found two favorites that we will return to. My only criticism is not being allowed to get drinks after the first stop. Donuts and some kind of drink.. milk, coffee, tea, etc belong together. We found ourselves thirsty at each spot.
