The perfect start to our stay in Athens - We had the pleasure of a fantastic food tasting tour with Giota from Greekality. She was super knowledgeable, friendly and shared so much information about Greek food, history and the culture of Athens. We enjoyed sharing plenty of food topped off with 2 desserts. We make it a habit to book a food tour through Viator upon arrival in a new country and it sets the perfect tone for our stay. Thanks, Giota!

Fantastic - Gioti was a fantastic tutor guide. She carefully selected each restaurant along with meals. Everything had Greek significance! She throughly went over the locations, food items and provided additional details. Highly recommend this tour!

We should’ve done this the first day in Athens - Our guide (“Yota”) was incredibly knowledgeable. As we walked through three different neighborhoods and had samplings of multiple different kinds of foods, she shared with us history and traditions of that food and how it it important to Greeks today. My review can’t possibly do any justice. If you like food and have any vague interest in Greek history, this is a MUST My only regret is that we didn’t do this immediately upon arrival to Athens. Because, we were much more familiar with the area and we understood where to go for great food and awesome nightlife. We traveled with two teenage daughters and they had a great time as well.

Good job Ami. Fantastic food tour. - Ami was providing a wonderful show with great information about history, location and food. She brought us to several places to trying testing authentic Greek Athenian cuisine as the locals are enjoying. Her exuberance and the enthusiasm were so authentic and definitely we enjoyed it. We strongly recommend the tour and most likely having her as a guide. Good job Ami.

Amazing food adventure! - Our guide and the food were amazing! We arrived in Athens in the afternoon from Santorini and 6:30pm tour was perfect since it was 110 degrees earlier. It was a great introduction of the neighborhood and authentic Greek food. Our tour guide was like a good friend showing us around town. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Thank you!!

. - Our host was great! She was knowledgeable, energized and helpful . I understand its a food tour, but we should be allowed to purchase a glass of wine to enjoy our food if we’d like. Anytime someone from the group asked. It was discouraged.?
