My Big Fat Greek Food Tour - The tour was excellent. The personal attention and the focus on smaller businesses is what we enjoyed the most. Unfortunately, we had to cut our tour short due to unforeseen circumstances. That said, Dimitris went above and beyond to make sure that we were okay. In fact, Dimitris continued to make recommendations of spots to hit well after the tour. I can’t thank him enough for the warmth and hospitality. Finally, come hungry, you will be eating a lot of great, Greek bites.

Great Tasting Overview - An enjoyable few hours roaming parts of Athens watching locals go about their daily lives and then tasting lots of local foods at various stops——all varied and delicious. A most interesting afternoon. Dimitris was enjoyable to be with.

An awesome, off the beaten path tasting tour! - We had a fantastic private food tour in Athens with Dimitris. He is extremely personable and knowledgeable, and he adapted the tour to suit our specific interests and needs. One of the best things about the tour is that he focused on taking us to non-touristic locations. We tasted many, many different dishes and places we especially loved our last stop in a little cafe where we enjoyed multiple mezzes (e.g., Greek tapas). We highly recommend Dimitris and this superb tour.

Dimitris and the Off The Beaten Track Walking Food Tour are a must for your stay in Athens! - Dimitris was an amazing guide. I cannot recommend this food tour enough! We started the day with a private Off The Beaten Track Walking Food Tour to mingle with the locals and see where they eat. Over the span of three hours, we covered three miles while eating and drinking (and of course, shopping) our way across the city. He took us to places we would never have found our even thought to look for on our own. The spice markets and central market were a feast for the senses, full of wonderful colors, smells, and tastes. The organic honey and olive tastings were one of those gems that we didn't know we needed until we had them, and we were amazed at the rich flavors. The Souvlaki Spesial was another favorite, with pork, fresh tomatoes, onions, herbs, paprika, and salt; so simple, yet delicious! The final stop at the Polykala Distillery was another highlight. The owner was warm and welcoming and took us through a tasting of a variety of liqueurs. My wife's favorite was the kafé and mine was the lemon, but we also both enjoyed the Mastika. Dimitris provided an overall amazing experience with lots of insight and fun facts about the places and food we were experiencing. 10/10 would do again and definitely recommend to anyone who wants a special experience.

Eat the Real Athens - We had a great afternoon experiencing Athens like a local. This was a nice capstone to our few days in more touristy areas. We ended up with a wonderful bag of treats to take along with us for the next few days as well.

Amazing, meaningful food tour in Athens - Dimitris was an AMAZING guide. Since this is a private tour, he will tailor the experience to your interests. We could have gone to the touristy parts, but what's the fun in that? Dimitris took us to the "non-touristy" sections of Athens and treated us to a day in the life of an Athenian. We went to the souvlaki shop that Athenians go to for a quick snack, and he took us to a place where Greeks go to hang out with friends and enjoy excellent food. We also walked through the markets where Athenians shop - the ones with fresh produce, fish, meats, etc. It was an amazing experience, and I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Delicious food and informative tour - The food on the tour is fantastic. We visited 5 local establishments and tried a variety of food. Walnut cake, zucchini fritters, greek ice cream, eggplant to name a few. Do not eat for a half day prior to your tour. The tour also provides a nice over very of Athens as well.
