Run, don’t walk…and book a day with Athens Food on Foot! - This was a fantastic small group experience! If you would like a real taste of Athens (actually many tastes) we would highly recommend. Lefteris, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable and really enjoyed his time showing us around. He tossed in Hellenic and Athenian history as well as some details about his own life here. And, he did it all in the rain with a smile! Made our day.

Highly recommend for a half day activity in Athens - We had a fantastic time on our food tour. A really relaxing and fun experience, and a great way to learn about the history of the city and the food. Our guide went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time and tried everything we wanted to taste in Athens. He was excellent at making conversation and sharing his knowledge and experience. A variety of stops and foods to try. I recommend coming hungry!

Fun Athens Food Must Try Experience - Even with the Holiday impacting some of the originally scheduled stops our tour guide Christos did an amazing job introducing us to some favorite foods of Athens and giving us history and cultural references along the way. The tour by Athens Food on Foot was better than expected and with our group of 5 (ages 25-84) along with a few others was able to encourage participation by our guide’s enthusiasm, professionalism and kindness. So much food we couldn’t even eat it all! We would love to come back and try additional food tours again with this company especially if we can get Christos to show us around. What a great experience and very recommended!

Graze like a local! - Great value for the money! We were definitely well-fed by the end of the tour. The variety of tastings we experienced was delightfully authentic and culturally-rich. Our guide was Kate - a fun, friendly Greek woman who made us feel like. locals by the time we were finished. Kate was also knowledgeable and professional, and easy to understand. Hubby and I highly recommend!

Wonderful Food Tour - We heard about the Food on Foot tours through the Greece Travel Secrets Facebook group. We booked the Classic Food Tasting Tour for two in June. Our guide was Kostas, and he had the most contagious energy. After we met the small group of fellow tourists, we started exploring the city. We tried a wide variety of food and went to multiple establishments, including a Greek family-style sit-down restaurant with many dishes to try, a cheese shop, Little Kook for a pretzel thing, a sit-down restaurant for meat pies, a Greek coffee shop, a donut place, etc. Kostas made the most of our time with information about each place and menu, as well as telling interesting stories along the way. The tour was at 1:45pm so we used it as our lunch and just had a lite dinner afterwards because we were so stuffed! We recommend this tour if you want a great guided break from sightseeing and a full belly!

Very worthwhile experience! - I would highly recommend this tour. We are not big tour folks and kept them to a minimum. But this one was worth it because we learned a lot. In fact, it was the highlight of our Athens stay. Our guide, Kate, worked hard to be friendly and knowledgeable and to add value to our experience. We ate a lot! But each item was explained and of interest. She explained regional differences and farming differences. We got to try authentic Greek coffee, too. The tour was a good value for the money as well.

A fun and delicious tour! - We had a great time on the Athens Food on Foot morning tour. Kate was fabulous! We loved tasting, and learning more about, the traditional food (and coffee) of Athens. The lunch was delicious and we were so full afterwards! We took the tour on our first day in Athens and it was a great introduction to the area too!

Athens Food on foot - We had the greatest guide Kostas for our Food on foot -walking tour. With his warm hospitality Kostas made us feel like his friends. Also all the foods we tasted were very tasty and we learned a lot, not only about the food but also about Greece and Grecians.
