Much more than a food tour! - Visiting from Crete, we were more about the walk and discovering new places and less on food since I am familiar with. Having said that, the quality of everything was impeccable; freshly made pies with absolutely fresh ingredients all cut by hand, the best yoghurt I have ever tried, souvlaki as it should be, made to order peinrli and kunefe. In a nutshell, great food beautifully made. Our guide Valentini is a gem, really looking after us and flexing the tour to accommodate a couple of requests that we had. We loved this experience and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Athens.

A Food Lovers’ Tour of Athens - Thank you, Valentini! Passionate and empathetic, Valentini guided us on a delightful journey, introducing us to the city's best souvlaki, koulouri, loukoumades, feta, and Greek yogurt. As Italian food lovers, this was the most fun and rewarding way to explore the city, its rich history, and its cultural influences. Athens truly stole our hearts!

An Experience you cannot miss. Food, Guide, Walk, Stories everything was perfect! - A very well paced tour with great balance between walking and eating. The food stops were diverse and delicious and everything was so fresh! We visited places that most would pass by without noticing and would have been a regret loss. Valentini our guide was superb, her knowledge and passion for both food and city history made our day very special. Excellent value for money, Don’t miss it!

A great tour of Greek food and culture! - Valentina was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable about the food we were sampling and its history in Greek culture. Valentina answered all of our questions and engaged us conversations about Greek life in general. She introduced me to Soulvaki and to Mastika. I couldn't get enough of either during the rest of my trip. I highly recommend booking with Valentina and trust her recommendations.

Yummy! - My friends and I had a wonderful food experience with Valentini. Valentini took us to some classic Greek places to experience their specialities. It was not a big group so Valentini had time to interact with all of us and she explained the traditions behind the food we were tasting. Very interesting, yummy and I would highly recommend this tour.

Great Food and Cultural Experience - Valentini was our guide and she was wonderful. It was our last night of a three week trip and we almost didn't go because we were beat. I said to my husband "we have to eat" and so we did. She showed us the best of Athens Food. It was a great walking tour and we loved getting to know her and hearing about the food and culture from someone who is a local. I would highly recommend this tour.

Delicious and memorable - Day one in Athens and Valentini made us feel right at home. My family and I got to walk around the city learning all sorts of fun facts, and taste the local food. Valentini Was so warm and welcoming that we forgot we were in a tour and it felt more like we were visiting an old friend and she was taking us to all her favorite spots. 100% recommended!
