This was a fantastic food tour. We have previously done tours in Marrakesh and Seville and this was up there with the best. Ilias was a tremendous host. He was so interesting to talk to, so knowledgeable about the different foods we tried and so good at engaging our two teenage sons. We ate wonderful food along the way, including pork, fish and bean dishes which were all absolutely delicious. Greek coffee, Ouzo and wine to drink too ( I liked the Ouzo, though not sure about the other members of the party!). And it was very nice to get off the beaten track and go to places where the locals go. All in all a great experience.

What a wonderful tour with Ilias! Such a knowledgeable and friendly guide, he gave us so much interesting information as well as taking us to some wonderful local places. We have done food tours in many European cities and this one with Ilias was one of the best. He made us all feel very at ease and was great at remembering all our names, so it felt as though we were one big family for the evening. We felt sad to say goodbye to him at the end of the night! The food was also delicious and there is lots of it, you will not be having the munchies at the end of it 😉

The tour with Ilias was a great way to be introduced to Greek food and tastes. He was interesting, enthusiastic and entertaining. Our walk around was great fun with many different foods to taste, and a lot of it that I regretted my slice of toast before we started! Ilias also has been very helpful with some tips for our onward travels. Great value.

A fantastic experience with Ilias, visiting genuine small food shops and cafes. He was very knowledgeable, bringing lots of references to his grandmother's cooking to the table. Ilias was also genuinely in hearing about our customs and ways which made it a real cultural exchange. A very worthwhile activity.
