Such a great experience, so very informative and the advise to not eat beforehand is definitely to be heeded. Food, drink and cultural insights we would not have experienced or known about had it not been for a lady full of knowledge and simply just so very lovely - se efcharistó pára polý.

We had the best time with the best tour guide ever! This was well worth it, an absolute must! We had so much fun both learning about Greek food and Culture and even more fun eating it! Our tour guide, Nicoleta was so funny and warm. She made us feel like Athens was our city too, so welcoming. Save as much room for the Greek mezza meal because we are still thinking about it!
Ana the AMAZING guide!

Ana was an AMAZING guide! We ate sooo much food so don’t plan to eat much before you arrive. My favorite was the bougatsa and the gyro. Each spot had something very unique, and having Ana to ask questions to made the experience even better. I highly suggest you go on this tour!
Excellent food tour

This tour included 6 stops with tons of great food. You should come hungry. Nicoletta was so knowledgeable about the food, its history and the history of central Athens. It was a wonderful experience and the food was amazing.

Tonia was absolutely the best. We had delicious food at numerous eateries along with stories and history of interest. We were only in Athens for two days and couldn’t be happier that we chose this as one of our experiences! The variety of high quality Greek foods, the stories behind them, and a visit to the meat and fish markets made this tour fantastic. The last stop at a local eater with a myriad of food and drinks was a highlight. Highly, highly recommend and if you are lucky you will be with Tonia!! Her warm and delightful personality and her authenticity made the trip!
