5.00Giannias (Our guide) was seriously THE BEST!!! When you get the email ahead of your tour saying come hungry because you get lots of food, BELIEVE IT!! I cannot believe how many stops we made along this tour!! He was informative, and kind, he answered questions we had along the way. I love doing foodie tours on trips especially in new countries and this one was one of my favorites for many reasons! The food, so good, guide top notch- Best advice- don’t sleep on this one!! And just when we thought we were done, we stopped at ONE more- I honestly can’t recall if any of us ate the food from the last stop when we were there because we were SO FULL- but he grabbed to go bags for us.

5.00This was a great tour. Our tour guide was Anastasia and she was phenomenal. We learned all about the culture of food in Greece. The variety of food and number of stops was more than we were expecting. I wish we would have done this earlier in our stay. Don’t miss this one!
Walking food tour of Athens - YUM

5.00We met our guide at the meeting point. He was named Nasos and very friendly. Throughout the tour he was genuinely excited to show us all his favourite places to eat. I was so glad I did not eat before the tour - there was a LOT of food. So much we took leftovers! Everything was fantastic, and it was such a great way to experience many different foods that Greeks have to offer. Even if we didn’t like something, our guide was very understanding and simply happy we tried it. Nasos had so much to share with us and was very open to questions and conversation. By the end of the tour it felt like he was a friend. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to try a variety of Greek foods in a safe environment. Just make sure you come to the tour hungry! 🙂
Amazing! Highly recommend

5.00It didn’t feel like 3 hours. So much food but ohhh so delicious! Caution to parents with young children - you go through a butcher/meat and seafood market and they have things your kids may not want to see.
