Review of Dinner in the Sky Athens, a six-course Greek meal 130 feet above the city with rotating views, drinks, and Acropolis sunsets.
“Very well organized with checking in getting drinks. Extremely safe procedures followed of strapping everyone in their seat & double checking all belts. Amazing view from every seat. So much food & better than expected. Will definitely do again. Only downside was our dinner was the same time as a heavy metal music fest down below & that was our dinner music...not my choice. Probably still would have gone but thought the company could give us a heads up about the music & opportunity to cancel.”
Cook Greek classics near Monastiraki, then eat moussaka and spanakopita on a rooftop with Acropolis views.
“The Cooking class was great. I had taken one before where each pair had their own tables and ingredients and cooked their own food. However, cooking everything together with everyone made it a really enjoyable experience. Kostas, our guide/chef, was extremely nice and very instructive. His tips were especially interesting as it will upgrade my own cooking at home. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

Walk Athens after dark, see the lit Acropolis, explore Plaka and Anafiotika, then share a traditional Greek dinner in a small group.
“The 2 hour walking tour took us through many interesting parts of the city at a good pace. We then had dinner with our group and were offered choices of appetizers, salads and our main dishes. It was more than plenty of food. Drinks were our own responsibility and were very reasonably priced. Our tour guide was wonderful - Dinai (sp?). She told stories about history, customs, and chatted with the group. At the end of the evening she planned a walking route away from the restaurant that ensured everyone got on their way in the right direction. Would recommend the tour.”

That’s why we don’t put just 1 star but 2 Cons: despite the high cost of the tour, there was no guide, just driver with no knowledge of the places and history at all Meteora: - driver was not aware of which temple we were visiting (he had to ask name of temple to a person on the street) - first temple was closed, driver told us to wait. After some time, my friend decided to go to ask and a signal in the entrance…”
