5.00We had such a great time on this food tour!! The food we tried was fresh and yummy, we visited all the local spots for fresh spanakopita, bougatsa and gyro, warm loukoumades, and tsipouro and so many more … walking through sunny Athens made the experience truly amazing. What really made the tour special was our guide, Penny. She was incredibly kind and friendly! She guided us through spots only locals can spot. She shared tips and stories about the city and even recommended some really amazing dinner spots (Penny, you hold a special place in my heart after this) This tour is 100% worth it, I would do it again in a heartbeat.Highly recommended!
