This was such a fun tour. Catherine was our guide and she did a wonderful job of showing us the local cuisine, including tour of the meat and fish markets. We had more than enough food to eat- it’s well worth it. Don’t leave Athens without adding this to your tour list!

We had a blast with Silvia! She went above and beyond to give us a personalised experience that catered to our food preferences. Silvia was enthusiastic, welcoming, and knowledgeable while also being so personable. We had a private tour and this was our favorite thing we did in Athens! We were so glad we did this tour at the beginning of our trip so we could learn what type of Greek food we love most - so we can order it again later!

Our tour guide, Sylvia, was amazing! She gave us a bit of history and information about each dish we sampled and made sure to ask our preferences before ordering some of the foods and drinks. We tried so many different things, we had no need to go get dinner that evening. If you are looking to sample authentic Greek food in the places the locals know, this is the tour for you!

Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens! This tour was recommended by a family member. He spoke highly of Anna and the food tour. Anna did a great job! Anna was friendly and knowledgeable about Greek food and Greek history! The restaurants and coffee shop were excellent! Anna said, pace yourself, and she was right! You definitely need to pace yourself! I can’t name all the restaurants but I would like to give their staff a “tip of the hat” for providing us with a wonderful Greek experience! Such much good Greek food! We highly recommend this food tour! #donutswithhoneyandchoclate Thanks again Anna!
