5.00My husband and I love doing food tours in different cities to get to know the culture of the city. This time we thought we would try one with our kids (15 yo who eats everything and 6 yo very picky eater). They loved it!!!! I mean, my 6yo didn’t try everything, but there was enough on the tour that she loved (cheese pies, Turkish delights, honey, etc) and we loved everything! Seriously ate the best spanakopita I’d eaten during out time in Athens while on this tour! Also got a chance to get some good EVOO and Honey to bring home. Definitely recommend!!!!
Amazing tour

5.00Amazing food tour! Really appreciated that all the stops were small places that were run by families. So much food! Arela was so friendly and knowledgeable and is very popular in the neighborhood :) Only had 3 people total in my tour, and was very happy they were accommodating to me being vegetarian. Best spanakopita ever.
Loved it!
