A great way to experience Athens - We ended up with a private tour with Maria, who was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and her relationships with the vendors that we visited added to the experience. The food was fantastic and the commentary provided a great glimpse into life in the city. She tailored the tour to our group and even assisted us in purchasing some items to bring home.

Kostas - Walking Food Tour - Don’t make the same mistake I made and snack before this tour. Come prepared to eat! Kostas kept us well feed as we explored the city. Our tour was during a heat wave but Kostas kept us engaged in conversation and in shaded areas. It felt like we were walking around Athens with a close friend rather than a guided tour. Definitely a highlight of our Athens visit. Thanks Kostas!

Ultimate Food Tour Huge Hit! - Landed in Athens at 7am on a Saturday and decided to do the 1:45pm food tour to get familiar with Athens. Costas led our tour and I can't say enough good things about having him as a tour guide! He was full of fun and energy. He took his time explaining everything and was patient with our rowdy bunch. There is A LOT of food so pace yourself and take comfortable shoes because you will cover A LOT of ground. The meal at the end of the tour was the best food we had while in Athens and will be a memory I will forever cherish. Thank you Costas!
