Sampling great food through Athens - Excellent food tour of local Athenian delights including spanakopita, bougatsa phyllo pastry, baklava, loukomades, and souvlaki with pita. The olive oil shop provided excellent information on, and tastes of, Greek olive oils. Our guide, Andreas, gave us a very personalized and intimate relaxed walking tour of several Athens eateries, bakeries, and neighborhoods, including the public market. He was very knowledgeable and informative and was a truly excellent host.

Great start to our family vacation - We are on a family vacation with our teenager / young adults and were looking for a fun way to explore Athens and its rich food culture. The small group food tour was definitely a highlight for all of us! Andreas, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable and offered a good mix of history, personal stories and cultural insights while walking with us through the different neighborhoods. The food stops we made were well balanced, ranging from breakfast, oil-tasting, to street food, coffee and sweets. We will definitely re-visit some of the places we discovered on the tour!

Great tour in Athens. - In early December of 2024, my wife and I took the Athens walking food tour in the morning. We were in Athens to start an 2 week tour of Greece and Albania and came in a day early to do this tour first. Our guide was Elena and it was just my wife and I on the tour (it’s the slow season in December). Our tour was about 3.5 hours and had numerous stops within the city. The tour itself was much more than a food tour, but was also a history tour and an opportunity to meet someone who lived/worked in Athens. On our food stops we tried many tasty types of food/drink at non-tourist places. On our history stops we learned some the Athens/Greece information. Being with Elena was like walking around with a friend who showed us Athens, sharing her vast knowledge. We learned not only about history/food, but also the culture and about her life in Greece. We also compared the similarities and differences between Greece and the U.S. Overall this tour was wonderful and would highly recommend taking this tour. Ask for Elena if you can.

A great way to explore the city and the food. - We had a great time with Andreas. It was a very relaxing stroll through Athens with a number of stops for great food. we enjoyed the history and the background of the food that we ate. This was a great way to spend a half day exploring the city.

Paid the full amount for mistakenly scheduling the wrong date. - We came especially to the meeting place but turned out we signed up for the next day. By then it was a little less than 24 hours cancellation - around 23 hours. They had no other tour on that day and the following day we took a flight so paid the full amount and got nothing!! Very disappointing customer service!
