Olive Oil Tasting. - Dimitris our driver took extra special care of us, getting us to all our destinations quickly and safe, and showed us some hidden views and spots to stop. The oil rafting was great and we bought some to be shipped home. Would highly recommend.

Great tour and experience - The reason I am raising this so high is our driver knew the spots to go to after the Olive Oil tasting. That didn’t take very long to see and have the taste. We did buy some olive oil because it is amazing. I don’t know about the lunch part of this tour because we paid for everything else we did including lunch. But I am not complaining at all. We went to a family run honey farm next as suggested by our driver. €10 each There we had coffee and juice while we waited for the beekeeper to do the presentation. She showed us that really beekeeping hasn’t. Hanged in over 4,000 years! We tasted spoon sweets during that portion. Then we went to taste the honey and also a sample of bee salve. We bought honey and bee salve. It is a natural antiseptic. Then we went to Olympia for lunch and had bevvies and pizza and Greek salad. Some shopping and then it was off to a wine tasting. That was 20€ each This was a great tour and we had a fabulous day.

Wonderful!!! - Fabulous tour! How the olives are harvested and processed was very interesting. The oil tasting was fun too! Our driver George was great we loved chatting with him and learning about life in Greece. Then he took us to a small family owned restaurant for lunch. It wat the highlight of our 17 day trip! The place was beautiful and the food...oh my! It was wonderful!! Everything was fresh and delicious!! Awesome tour!!!

Perfect excursion - My husband my mother and I were on a NCL cruise and booked this tour with viator. This was a perfect excursion- it was very easy to find the meeting place which was a short walk from the ship port. Our driver Andreas with company Theocar was excellent. The olive oil tour and tasting was fun and we enjoyed a wonderful Greek lunch at a local restaurant. The lunch was especially memorable because the owner of Theocar just happened to be there. He took great care of us and made sure we tasted the best authentic Greek dishes. I highly recommend this company and this tour.

Lived & ate like a local! - Our guide (I never could catch his name, but started with M) was very proud to show us the countryside. The olive oil producer was interesting and we shipped some home. He then took us to a restaurant where we ate the best Greek salad…tomatoes & cucumbers like nothing I’ve had before! While looking at the garden and admiring the basil plant, they broke off 2 stems and we’ll grow it at home. Added bonus is the wonderful smell it lent our cruise cabin! M then took us shopping at his favorite store😉 It was fun having the designer pull dresses to try and I bought some beautiful silk dresses. We did not go to the places listed in the description, but that’s ok because M made it an amazing day and we truly saw the local lifestyle in Katakolo. Probably our favorite tour on our 10 day port-intensive cruise! Thank you!

Wonderful Olive Oil Tour and Tasting - Great traditional lunch - This was a highlight of our holiday, a memory we will cherish and an experience we whole-heartedly recommend. We consider ourself foodies and were keen to learn more about the cuisine of Greece. This was a wonderful way to achieve that since we didin't want to visit the archealogical sites suggested from Katakolo. Understanding the way olives are grown, harvested and transformed into Olive Oil was very interesting and the tasting session was really enjoyable and even more informative than we’d expected. We came away with a much greater appreciation. Incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable driver with a smile and always there to help us! We did the tour with a comfortable new car.

Awesome Experience and Great Food! Definitely recommended! - This was one of my most favorite experiences while in Greece! To learn about olives, the process of making into olive oil and then tasting the different types was wonderful. The bonus was the restaurant food was one of the best meals I had in Greece! You would not be wasting your time or money with this tour. I totally recommend it if you want to taste greek traditional food!
