So much food. It was the best of the 5 food tours I’ve ever gone to. Maria is so knowledgeable on the history of Athens and the different cultural ways of similar foods in the region. If you have time, make this your dinner plan with exercising (walking) included. Plenty of food, plenty of history and stories. Maria was excellent!

We have taken several food tours in different countries. Ilias provided the best food tour of them all! He is incredibly knowledgeable about everything. He knows the coolest places that we would never have gone to on our own. Real local places with delicious food. His enthusiasm and love of food was amazing. And he’s a real people person. Not only is he friendly and personable, he made sure our group Of nine became like one big happy family!! It was perfect!!!

Local, fun, lots of food, good vibes. Our guide was a local and knew all the ins and outs of the city. It was so fun to experience the city as a “local”
