Amazing private tour and tasting!

Published on Nov, 2024

As if an olive oil tasting wasn’t cool enough, Maria makes this experience absolutely over the top. We took a walk around an olive grove and learned so much about olive trees and olives, then went to an olive oil factory to see how it’s made! Then we did a Greek lunch in downtown Kalamata with Maria. Simply the coolest experience! Maria also gave us the most precious and thoughtful parting gifts.

Gregarious guide, informed experts, and fabulous food

Published on Oct, 2024

My 13-year old children were a little wary of this event. I had dragged them to historical site after historical site and they were beginning to seem a little bit bored with all the history. Enter Maria and Mamas Flavours! This was a completely different type of experience, and in every way good. The kids were excited to try a lot of different types of local food, my wife was happy to see more of modern life in Greece, and we were all happy with how engaging and welcoming Maria and all the local experts we met were. The highlight was learning about olives and olive oil, not just through discussion and videos, but with hands on (and mouths on) tasting and analysis. But the snacks, the coffee, the candy, and perhaps most of all, the meal were fantastic. Greece has thousands of years of history and is justly proud of its culture. But Maria reminded us that the culture is still alive and well today, and it tastes terrific.

Educational, fun and delicious

Published on Oct, 2024

Very interesting and educational experience for the first half touring the grove and olive oil facility. The tasting was great and never knew the depth of olive oil flavor. You must get the lunch with the event. They take you to the hidden gems of restaurants. Great experience all around

Marvelous Insight to the Olive Tree and the Gifts It Provides

Published on Oct, 2024

Greece offers a stunning variety of hidden gems for those who visit. Many of those gems are hidden by the obvious glories like the Athenian Acropolis, Mycenae, and others. The tour provided by Maria was one such amazing gem. As a guide, she provided my wife and me with insights into the gastronomic delights of cuisine from the Peloponnese. The tour of her olive grove, the mill where the olives were processed, and the olive oil tasting were an eye-opening experience for us; we now know the difference between "virgin olive oil" and "extra virgin olive oil." No exaggeration at all, her tour was among the VERY best experiences we had on a trip filled with many marvelous experiences. The best part? Maria provided us with recipes that will allow us to use the knowledge she imparted to us. With the holiday season approaching, we will most certainly try her recipes out. LOL, we won't be boring family and friends with endless photos and stories. Yeah, they'll get those, but we can feed them with her recipes as we drone on about what we saw and did. Food is marvelous for covering a multitude of shortcomings.

Will Never Look at Olive Oil the Same Way

Published on Sep, 2024

We had an amazing tour with Maria. She is very knowledgeable about agriculture, history and gastronomy. We learned so much about not only the olives and the process of making olive oil but also about the environment, history and Greek culture. Thank you, Maria, for a fantastic experience.
