Fantastic learning and group bonding experience - GS Tours was so helpful in planning excursions for our study abroad group. The Cretan cooking class was fantastic. They were open and willing to create a more custom experience for us after a couple of us did one of their guided tours the year prior. We cannot wait to schedule our next trip!

The highlight of our trip - An amazing unique experience!! The hosts were extremely welcoming. This is not only a cooking class, but also very informative and interesting. We learnt so much about crete and olive oil and the host's family history. The place and the view was breathtaking. Our driver and tour guide Alex was incredible. It was the highlight our trip!

Cretan Cooking Class - The place we cooked at with Poppi was amazing! She was funny and so sweet. We loved how they cooked farm to table. They broke up the experience by learning and seeing where the food we were cooking with came from.

Cretan cooking - Spent the day in Crete learning to cook traditional Greek dishes in the most breathtaking setting imaginable. 🇬🇷 From the stunning mountain views to the rich local history, every moment was unforgettable. The ambience was warm and authentic, the lessons were hands-on and fun, and the food… absolutely next level. 🍷🫒🍅 Can’t recommend this experience enough — it was the perfect blend of culture, flavor, and beauty. ✨

A lovely evening - A lovely evening spent with Nikos, Maria and Palandrios. Cheese pies, spinach pies, tzatziki, and gemsiti prepared as part of the session. Wine tasting as part of the evening. The meal was lovely with the addition of slow cooked pork.

Welcoming and fun - We made this trip as the final event of our Greece vacation and we were not disappointed. Driver was very courteous, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Participating in food preparation was an excellent way to learn about the cuisine and socialize with other couples on this tour. The hosts were also very welcoming, and most gracious. And, once again, learned a bit more of the Cretin history.
