5.00Konstantina gave us a brilliant introduction to the Greek cuisine. We got all the staples and explanations of when, how and where the food started. We left full, happy and educated with plans as to where and what we are eating for the rest of our trip
Exactly what we wanted and more.

5.00Lucas was a fantastic guide introducing us to not only the foods of Athens, but their historical context. We spent several hours seeing sites and tasting wonderful foods along the way. Our sit down meal was fantastic with a sampling of charcuterie, dolmas, chicken, and tzatziki accompanied by Araki , beer and red and white wine. A really fun afternoon.
Great sample of the coty

5.00We booked a street food tour - family of 6 - and had a wonderful time. Our guide was Christina, and she was warm, and highly knowledgeable about the food and history of Athens. The food was fantastic - all fresh, all delicious and there was lots of it! We had freshly baked goods, gyros, ice cream and deep fried donuts. We were also taken around local markets and speciality stores where we had generous samples! This trip is highly recommended and if you can, request that Christina is your guide. She helped to elevate the whole experience.
10/10 Tour! Highly Recommended!

5.00Our tour with Demitrios was fabulous. He was so fun, professional and knowledgeable. The food was plentiful and delicious, we did not need dinner afterwards. It was 3 hours and all situated in a small area.
Great tour!

5.00Lucas and the food tour definitely exceeded our expectations! Each stop and food offering was well explained and all of the food was delicious. We tried way more dishes than we thought and the wine offered during the main courses was very good! The tour was well worth the price and we would highly recommend this food tour to anyone wanting to try a little bit of everything in Athens.
Amazing food tour experience
