Absolutely Fantastic!!!! - The food trip with Manolis was absolutely fantastic! First of all, as this is a food tasting tour, it’s important to note that the food was absolutely amazing with a wide variety of sweet and savory. Manolis is super informative and even though it was a food tour he gave us so much information about the historical monuments along the way and recommended more places to visit. He also recommended a list of food places to try on our own time. Don’t eat breakfast before this tour as the portions are great and very filling!

Tasty interesting and fun food tour - We met with Maria in the square. Maria was extremely welcoming and friendly and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. Our tour to the coffee shops and specialty halva dishes in a plant based diner was the best halva we have ever had. At all times Maria explained the Greek culture and the people in the area. The meat, fish markets were very interesting and our dishes tried along the way to lunch and her experiences and explanations were very helpful. Lunch in a local eatery was a highlight as it was where the locals eat and not a touristy restaurant. When we were unable remember our Ship Docking gate… Maria calmly made a call and sorted it all out and then took us to a Greek yogurt Speciality stop and then to our Taxi. Thank you Maria for making our stop in Athens the most special ever !! You were terrific

Don’t hesitate, sign up for this tour! - Our foodie tour was outstanding. Niki our guide was so knowledgeable and explained the origins, cultural heritage, purpose, nutritional value and so much more about everything we ate and drank. I have been to Athens six times and have Greek heritage, so I thought I knew a lot about Greek food, but this tour taught me so much more. So, whatever your background, you will lave this tour.

One of the best walking tours I've ever been on - great guide, great food - We take a trip to a European city for around 12 friends each year, and typically arrange a heritage or foodie walking tour. This was a combination, and undoubtedly the best we've experienced across maybe 20 years. Mini was an excellent guide, and we stopped at seven different locations to sample substantial quantities of local specialities and opportunities to speak with the owners. Everything was top quality and provided a great insight into Greek cuisine. When you read the communication from Greeking.me it tells you not to have a large breakfast - make sure you follow their advice

A Taste of Athens: Highlights and History - We had a fabulous time with Eugenia as our foodie guide on this tour! I especially appreciated the stories she told about the food we tasted as we strolled through various Athens neighborhoods. My favorite tastings were the Greek coffee, koulouri, loukoumades, Greek pies, cheeses, and Greek yoghurt with honey. Unfortunately, moussaka was not on the tasting menu. Would love to have that included in future food tours. I also liked that we visited small, family-owned businesses and got to know their story about their shops as well. Supporting small businesses is very important to me. Eugenia was very attentive and made sure we comfortable at all times, especially at the Central Market. All in all, my husband and I truly enjoyed the food tour and the conversations we had with Eugenia about life and food. This is a must-do tour if you really want to experience the heart of Athens through its people, food and culture.

A Highlight in Athens - The foodie walking tour was so great - we thoroughly enjoyed it. Penelope was wonderful and shared interesting facts and stories with us. She was so kind to the kids, which made it a happy morning for all of us, we were even surprised at all the new things they tried. We loved walking to all the spots and meeting all the people and places where local Athenians shop. The highlight of our trip to Athens

Just as Great the Second Time - We had a terrific private food tour. Our guide was charming and interesting. We loved all the food and enjoyed the conversations we shared with our guide during the tour. The time flew by. There was a nice mix of walking and sitting while enjoying the food . We never felt rushed and loved the interaction of our guide with the owners at each of the stops. She had bits of personal information about each which we thoroughly enjoyed. Five years ago we had a great food tour in Athens with Greekingme. We think this one might be even better.
