5.00John took us to several eateries throughout Athens. The food was delicious and he did a great job explaining the history behind each item and its significance in Greek culture. We even got to go through a street fresh fish and meat market with hundreds of vendors.

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!
Exceeded our expectations!

5.00Our guide “John” exceeded our expectations for this private food tour. He was so well versed and had a love of the history of Greece and of Athens. He was personally familiar with all of our tour stops taking us to his favorite places. He had us try things we would have never known to order on our own. Everything we tried was delicious and of high quality. Thank you John for a memorable tour in Athens!
