5.00We booked the private food walking tour, and we're SO glad we did because it was such an insightful, personalised and incredible afternoon full of delicious food and local knowledge that felt 'off the beaten track' and very authentic. Our guide Argiro was the most welcoming, kind, curious and hospitable. We've done a lot of foor tours in many countries, and she has been the best guide we've had in terms of kindness and great vibes. She immediately makes you feel at home, and is genuinely interested in sharing her knowledge and culture, and passionate about the community and people around her. We'd recommend her to anyone as a rising star of the Athens guide community, and particularly this tour as a true insight into food and culture in Athens.

5.00We booked a private food tour for our group, and it was so fun. Anna was an amazing guide! We learned a lot about the food, culture and history of Athens as we walked through the city. The food at every stop was so good. She also gave us a list of recommendations for the rest of our stay in Athens when we finished our tour. I highly recommend booking a food tour with Anna!! It was one of the highlights of our trip.

5.00Ana sent a reminder and careful instructions to the meeting place. Ana knew people at every stop allowing us a very intimate and ‘friend of the family’ experience. Each tasting of food and drink was delicious! Ana also went above and beyond for directing me to a reliable shop for a cell phone charger. And is fun, very knowlegdeable, easy to understand and a well paced and timed tour. Go hungry!! Highly recommend this tour with Ana.
