It’s more than just a “tasting,” when you’re done, you are truly full and won’t need to eat for at least a day.

Definitely come hungry to this food tour. You will try many great dishes and get a history and knowledge of Greece along the way. Adele (not the singer) was an excellent guide and made sure we were all full before the tour was over. Must do in Athens!

Amazing experience. Guide was so good. More than a year since this food journey ….forgot to do review ….but better late than never. I enjoy the food the tasting and walking thru fish market and seeing real Greece . My only recommendation beside doing the tour is to leave out much early than your think. Traffic and distance made me miss out first stop on the journey.
Demetria is the best!

The tour was about 4 hours and the main theme was a bit like a safari supper, with us going to separate establishments for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a separate stop for Greek coffee. Plenty of food so don't eat beforehand (and probably not after either). Our guide Tonya was absolutely excellent.
