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.

Feedback on the gourmet ride - A great experience with Nikos who made us discover Athens on the flavor side! A very good time sharing with our guide as well as the 2 other guests. He was able to promote exchanges. A big thank you to Nikos for this good friendly time with tastings.

The Best Food Tour in Athens - Antigoni (Andi) gave us wonderful insight to the Greek culture & daily life in Athens. Her love & pride in her country was evident! We experienced everything from authentic Greek coffee to a grand assortment of Greek food specialities. (equivalent to a full lunch, so go hungry). This is a must as do tour if you are in Athens! Ask for Andi. She is not only professional & knowledgeable, she is also beautiful & fun!

wonderful tour - highly recommend - This tour was absolutely perfect! We loved the small group format. The tour guide was great at keeping a pace that worked for everyone in the group. The food was absolutely amazing at every stop. Frankly, we were a bit surprised about that given the reasonable price of this tour. All of the places we stopped were ready for us and very friendly. Highly recommend this tour, and if we’re ever in Athens again, we would be happy to repeat this experience.

This is worth it! Fun, informative and yummy! - Really great way to spend 1/2 day in Athens. We made 8 stops and got a real feel for traditional Greek food and drink and learned a bit of Athens and Greek history on the way. I had this tour recommended to me by a work colleague and I would pass the recommendation on to anyone coming to Athens. We had a lovely diverse group of 12 in total and enjoyed getting to know everyone. Our guide was Andres and he was great.

Don’t miss this “foodie” experience - Elizabeth was more than a tour guide. She was a wonderful representative of her Greek culture. There were four of us on her walking tour. We made seven stops and sampled delicious food at each one. One of my favorite stops was a small store that sells olive oil and other Greek specialty products. We got to taste three different types of olive oil, found out how they were processed, and also the health benefits of olive oil and how to store it. Most of the small places we visited were family owned businesses and took great pride in the food and products they served. I highly recommend this experience.

Great tasting tour and excellent tour guide. - Excellent and informative tour we had with Antigoni. We walked in twists and turns all around center Athens and had a large variety of tastings in places we wouldn't have found ourselves. Antigoni was such a wonderful guide and we really enjoyed spending a relaxed day with a local. Would definitively recommend!

Great guide, great food - Our guide, Elissavet, was magnificent! She shared so much history along with facts about the food we were eating. And eat we did! We basically skipped dinner that night. I feel she went way beyond what was required for the tour. It was a wonderful experience and so happy we did her tour. Thank you!!!

So much food - What an amazing food tour, our guide Elena was fantastic. There was so much food so don’t have a big breakfast. The Gyros are the best we’ve had. Also got some recommendations for further exploration. Don’t hesitate to go on this tour
