A Must Do in Athens - On my! This was an absolutely amazing tour with Helen. She is so full of knowledge, energy, and fun. She took us to her perfect spots for sampling so many different kinds of wonderful foods, treats, and coffee. We saw the Central Market, many different parts of the city, and learned so much because of Helen’s knowledge of the history of Athens. You eat, eat, eat and walk. This tour is something we all will remember. Thank you Helen for such an incredible time.

Authentic experience - Authentic Greek Food, what's not to love! Highly recommend the experience for those new in Athens. Great way to understand the delicacies. It starts off with small bites as you tour Athens, only to follow by a large restaurant sit down followed by a delicious Gyros!

Athens, Our favorite food tour! - This was by far the best food tour ever! Dorela was a wonderful guide and we would recommend this tour highly. We have done food tours in 5-6 different cities and we’ve never had so many varieties. A must-do in Athens.

Best food tour!!! - This tour was such a great introduction to Greece and Athens as a city. I especially loved how all of the food locations we went to was out of the ‘tourist area’ so we got authentic Greek food, and lots of it!! Our guide, Anna, knew a lot about the different areas, dishes and restaurants we visited which added to the experience in gaining more knowledge about Athens. She was very knowledgeable about the history which added to the tour as well. It was such a great way to spend an afternoon in Athens and I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone heading there in the future. I suffer from coeliac disease and I found this tour great to do compared to other places in Europe. Greek food is easily changed to be gluten free or naturally gluten free so that was a bonus. However, I had to risk it to try the loukamades, I don’t regret it!!

Good, but not sure the gourmet bit is worth it - Knowledgable guide Tasted several local Greek foods (and drinks) , plenty to eat Only 3 stars not sure the difference between a normal and gourmet food tour, the final tasting of different olive oils & vinegars seemed a bit of an unnecessary add on And we had a daughter of one guest on our tour and they were unable to supply a non alcoholic alternative (apart from water)
