My husband and I enjoyed a marvellous food tour yesterday afternoon with Mike and he was a warm and engaging host. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about the local food that he gave us the courage to try items which we were never prepared to eat before. The variety, quality and amount of food on offer was astonishing and we cancelled our dinner plans as we could not eat another bite. The best part of the tour for us, however, was seeing and meeting the local people, from the shop owners to vendors at the markets and locals enjoying lunch at the restaurant. It showed us a side of Athens which you do not normally see as a tourist. We have been left with great memories.
Awesome tour!
