A second time on this fabulous food tour

5.00This is the second time we have been on this food tour with Rachel and we loved it just as much as the original experience. With Rachel growing up on the streets we visited, her knowledge of the area and food is exceptional. While we got to taste some classics, we also got to try some new foods that we didn't experience the first time. Rachel really makes you feel like part of the group so that conversations were easy with the others on the tour when we were seated at different restaurants. Since it was a Sunday, the markets weren't opened which allowed us to see other shops and foods that were new to us. We highly recommend Rachel and her company for this tour. Thanks again, Rachel! You are the best!!!

5.00Michalis was very pleasant and we enjoyed our journey around Athens, the food market and our samplings very much! Be careful not to eat too much. There was a great variety in the tastings. He is a local and knows many great spots for oils, spices, honey and more.
Maybe ok

3.00Food experience a little ordinary I know they try to showcase local but it was the quality of local that was questionable
