A Wonderful Experience! - Agatha was an absolute pleasure of a tour guide! Very personable and knowledgeable, not only about the food but the history and the current "flow" of the city of Athens. The food was great and plentiful as well as many options to purchase additional items (both food and nonfood).
100% Reccomend!

Delicious and Worth It! - The tour was amazing! Our guide brought us to several awesome spots to sample delicious Greek cuisine. She was super friendly and told us all about the city. We tried traditional Greek meat and cheeses, Greek donuts, sesame bread, pastries, and gyros. We also got to sample Greek olive oils and honey. We had such a great time, definitely worth it!

A must do for food lovers! - Our guide Agatha was amazing. We walked throughout different neighbourhoods tasting different foods.
We started with a cheese, salami and wine tasting, then on to famous Greek doughnuts, a honey and olive tasting finishing with a delicious Gyros. My favourite was the tapas style tasting with stuffed vine leaves, fava dip & marinated eggplant dips which was delicious and one of my favourites.

Would do this tour again! - This was an amazing start to getting to know Athens. It was our first time in Greece we didn't know much about the traditional food when we got here so it was a great overview. Plus we got to see different parts of Athens we normally wouldn't have seen on our own. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Great food tour to try loads! - My teenager daughter and I had a wonderful time on the Eat Like an Athenian Food Tour! We sampled several dishes and drinks with wonderful explanations by Agathi. I would recommend doing this trip early in your stay so you can get wonderful recommendations to try during your trip. We did the evening tour and it was great to see the cafe culture up close with a local guide.
