Honeymoon Food Tour

5.00Bianca gave me and my wife the absolute best food tour we’ve ever had. We were in Athens for our honeymoon and she amplified our experience with her intimate knowledge of the city, the food, and Greek culture as a whole. We cannot recommend her enough. Well worth the price. The tour was 4 hours and by the end, we felt like we were having a meal with a family member. She gets all the stars. 10/10

5.00Our experience was nothing short of wonderful. Blanca took time to explain what each experience was and why it was so important to the people of Greece. She explained how to determine which olives were from the region. She was so comfortable to be with. We even determined that we had similar up brings even though we were from two totally different parts of the world. We learned, laughed, and left as friends.

5.00This was, by far, our favorite tour while in Greece. Bianca was our guide. Not only did she take us to places to try authentic and delicious Greek foods and teach us about the Greek history of Athens, but had us laughing the entire team. If you take this tour, ask for Bianca!

5.00This was a fantastic food tour. We learned so much from our knowledgable guide John regarding Athen’s history, culture, different eras and how these impacted the wonderful authentic food we enjoyed. It was a fun filled stroll and one of our favorite tours among many great tours we enjoyed on a 2 week European vacation. Request John! He is the perfect blend of deep knowledge, and his presentation of facts is interesting and memorable, yet not overwhelming. We enjoyed being guided through the streets of central Athens, the food markets and Plako area with a relaxed authentic Athenian who spoke perfect English. John easily picked up on our unstated interests and tailored the tour to fit both our interests and appetites! The food was superb and the guide was even better!
