Many stops - great variety of food, and very plentiful. - Alexandra did a very good job on this tour! We walked through a couple of neighborhoods, saw a local meat market and stopped at many places to taste Greek food. One of the best stops was a restaurant where we tried several dishes served family style. After that (starting to feel full), we then each had a delicious gyro at Hoocut and finished off with some delicious donut desserts. This was a great sampling of Greek food and locations in Athens. More food than a typical food tour, so very good value. When they say don’t eat breakfast, it is true.

Fabulous, filling and fun - A fabulous tour that you should not miss! The tour covers little samples of a range of Greek yummy food from traditional breakfast food to a full luncheon. Tonyia, our guide was the cherry on top, bringing to life Greek hospitality and charm. If you only have one day, add this tour to your list. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

Street food tour rather than gourmet tour - Catherin the group leader was great! We expected gurmet tour, but found more a street food. So there was a gap between the expectation and the reality.
