Tasty, fun, informative - Claire was a great guide, fun, informative, kind. She took us through the meat and fish markets, the farmer’s market, and pointed out many great shops for honey, spices, and food from some of her favorite places. There are a a lot of food eaten on this tour, so don’t fill up on the appetizers! Would definitely recommend.

Thumbs up! - Very much enjoyed this your. Lucas our guide was excellent. Friendly, thoughtful and informative about Athens and the food culture. Went solo and felt very comfortable as part of the small group. The amount of food was very generous and was more than enough to replace dinner. The lukamades at the end were a highlight!

Greek gastronomy gone good - This is a fabulous food tour! Our Greek gastronomy tour guide Dimitri was charming, humorous and loves to eat. The selection and portion sizes are huge and I felt we avoided the tourist trap restaurants in Athens. Bravo!
