Great cross section of delicious authentic Greek fare. So much food! We have been on 7 food tours around the world. None have had even half this much food, and it was all delicious. Included many dishes we had never tasted before. Highly recommend this!

What a fun way to explore different foods from Greece! Nicolette was knowledgeable about the areas and restaurants we visited, and told us stories and memories she had of each place. She made the tour really special for us and we laughed had a great time. There is a lot of walking but worth it! It’s a great tour for all ages!

This was a very nice tour, plenty of great food, good guide with a lot of knowledge. The group was small (8 people) and it was nice company. We learned a lot, and we ended the tour with takeaway food (because there was so much food served in the tour itself).

This tour was great! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. There were eight in our group and we had so much delicious food including Greek coffee, mezes, souvlaki, sweets, ouzo, and beer. We sampled olive oil, honey and beeswax products in a local shop where we had an opportunity to buy. In addition, we walked through local markets where we saw the fish, meats, and produce on display for sale. We would happily do this tour again if we return to Athens.
