Fabulous food tour guides! - Wow! Rachel and Michael were amazing guides. We learned so much and they were incredibly engaging. You can really tell how much they love what they do as well as the community they are apart of. Getting to explore the markets with a local really offered an experience we wouldn’t have gotten just out on our own. Also SO MUCH food! Would definitely recommend!

Pick this one! Pick this one! - Ohmygoodness! If you are deciding what food tour to go on while in Greece….pick this one! Pick this one! Rachel and Mike, owners and operators of FOOD AROUND ATHENS did an outstanding job of communicating, organizing and attending to each member of our group. Rachel was our leader last evening and she took us to the “not so pretty” hidden gems of the city where we tasted and drank the most savory foods and drinks! Rachel has a natural gift of making everyone feel very comfortable (she even remembered each of our names!) and we saw, first hand, the camaraderie she shared with the local merchants! The entire evening was TOP NOTCH! John & Jani (Florida, USA)

Lovely glimpse of Greek food - Such a great experience! Local food tasting with a local guide was fantastic. Voula, our tour guide was charming, informative and with her great personality made the tour most enjoyable. The tour was done at an easy pace, stopping regularly for tastings or just for information. The mezzes were tasty, filling and varied and we also enjoyed the accompanying wine. We would thoroughly recommend this tour with Voula. Deb & Frank

Amazing tour to get the true Athenian experience - Arela was amazing! We really enjoyed the small group aspect, getting a tour from a local, and obviously the food! This was our favorite tour we did on our whole 2 week, multi county trip- highly recommend.

Great Opportunity to Sample Greek Food In Athens - This was a terrific experience! Arela was a wonderful guide: funny, personable and knowledgeable about neighborhoods, food traditions and appealing to guests. She spoke English beautifully and was a delight. We had a nice sized group of interesting folks from all over: Chicago, NY, Australia, Oregon and a couple of other places. The tour created an atmosphere of fun and camaradarie.

A fabulous tour with a wonderful guide - We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Arela today. We visited some fabulous places that we would never have found without this tour. Arela was really knowledgeable and also such a friendly person who really brought the group together. We also met some great people on the tour and were able to purchase some of the products that we tried so that we can enjoy a little bit of Greece when we get home. Thanks Arela!
