Good food tour, could have done without the smelly fish market or the butcher at the meat market…. Love both, don’t care to see the “behind the scenes”. The food provided by the small shops (best part). Wonderful stops at some authentic small family owned shops. If you want an authentic experience from a native Athenian, this tour is for you!
