Just do it! - Katarina was absolutely fantastic! Not only does she have an amazing and kind personality, but her English was exceptional as well was her knowledge of Athens. We visited parts of the city we otherwise would not have seen if we didn’t do the tour. I wish she could be our personal guide for the rest of our trip.

Awesome Gourmet Food Tour - Our Gourmet Food Tour was amazing! We tried all local favorites from appetizers, salads, main course, and dessert. Our tour guide was great….very knowledgeable and fun too! She made sure we tried all the local favs and immersed us in the food culture of Athens. She also took us through the fish, meat, and vegetable market to give us an idea of where many people get their local foods. This was an excellent way to experience Athens local food scene!

Definitely a 'must do'! - We had an amazing time with our guide, Sylvie! Do not eat before this tour! And you probably won't feel like it after! We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the small group. (10 people) We indulged in the most delectable Greek cuisine for four hours while simultaneously learning about Greek history and culture. Highly recommended!

Delicious Food Tour - I dare you to go on this food tour and not come back fat and happy. Our guide, Nicoletta, was humorous and friendly. She also has the best taste buds in Athens because everywhere she took us was fantastic. It seemed like with Athens Walks, the guides have the freedom to pick and choose the places they want to go (to some degree) which made this tour unique. We tried over 15 different Greek dishes, hitting most all of the highlights of what you'd imagine when you think traditional Greek food. Of everything we did in Athens, this will be the thing we recommend to anyone we learn is going for several reasons. The first and most important being that the food was great. Gyros, spanakopita, zucchini fritters, stuffed peppers, donuts dripping in honey, coffee, etc. Another reason to do this tour is it is a great way to get familiar with Athens beyond the Acropolis. Along the way, you get to learn about Greek culture (reason #3) and get great recommendations for where else to eat during your stay (#4).

Excellent tour~but missed out on half - We met up with our guide Tonya at the meeting place, which was an easy location to find. The group size was perfect for hearing the guide share her knowledge of Greece as well as the foods we sampled. I love how she was so personable and knew everyone in the group by name. The places we stopped to try their specialties were so accommodating, and the food was delicious! My reason for giving this tour four stars instead of five is that at one point she gave us a few minutes to look around at some nuts that were for sale, and when my sister and I turned around, our group was gone! We missed the whole last hour of our tour. With as small as our group was, I wish she would have checked to make sure we were all together before moving on. I did receive an email and a text from the tour company, but we were already back to our hotel by then. I am saddened that we missed half of the tour. We very much enjoyed the part we experienced. This experience will not keep me from booking with Viator again, we have booked thru them numerous times with no problems. I do hope our experience will help to prevent this from happening to others.
