Delicious and educational food tour of hidden Athens’ gems!!! - Excellent walking food tour of Athens with Mike!!! Wide variety of foods to try: from spanakopita, cheeses, olives, olive oil, calamari, kalamaki. Ouzo and Greek coffee to drink. Learned how Greek coffee is different (and superior) to Turkish coffee!!! Mike showed us some hidden local gems that showcased local honey, spices, and other treats! Would definitely recommend for first time and repeat Athens travelers alike!!

Bring your appetite! - Bring your appetite because you won’t walk away hungry! Wonderful tour for the tastebuds as we sampled all the best foods Greece & Athens are known for while getting a look at the how the locals shop. The market is worthy of the tour in its own right just to experience the riot of smells & sounds with someone who can help you decipher the local culture. Even our picky eaters came away with some new tastes & we had plenty of shopping to bring back our favorite flavors. Rachel is a wonderful ambassador for her neighborhood & a most interesting guide!

The best 4 hour experience in Athens - Incredible experience with Rachel and Mike. Both of them made us feel so welcomed to their city - and genuinely showed warmth that is rare to find nowadays. Lots of stories, covering the streets of Athens, lots of awesome food and then some more stories about the food. An incredible 4 hour experience that one must do when in Athens.

Great introduction to Athens - For our first time in Athens, this was a great beginning. Not only did she introduce us to various Greek food, but she gave a lot of history and context. Good tour.

A Must Do while in Athens.... - Can't say enough about this company who organized this tour. We missed our appointed time and they graciously asked another guide to accept us into his group at a later time that day (330-7pm). Michalis our guide was just wonderful. Informative, joyful, kind, and engaged with us all. He took us through the downtown market where we stopped for samples along the way and purchased items as needed. From there we continued our walking tour or surrounding areas enjoying all the tasty treats along the way. From quaint antique markets to authentic coffee shops. We visited Melira a lovely shop that featured local honey, olive oils and more, selling both body shop products and tasty treats. Accross the street is Miran a deli that gave us delicious offerings, they had a wide assortment of cheeses and meats plus more. Very busy city, lots of griffiti, some very attractive and some not so much, loud and noisy area which adds to the flair of the tour. Thank you Michalis for taking care of us so well and for helping us to make our way back to our hotel. Your hospitality and care was exceptional.

Awesome and yummy experience! - Mike is super nice and knowledgeable! He created a great atmosphere and brought us to some super nice places to eat and taste local food. You could notice that he put some thought into the course so there would be a good balance of small tastes, larger dishes, sweet and salty/sour, some nice drinks and great stories behind everything. My only regret is that I managed to take the tour one day before my flight back home so I couldn't use all of his recommendations. I highly recommend this tour! One of the best experiences that I had during my short visit in Athens.

Tasty and fun - Mike was very fun, we really enjoyed the walk and talk with him. He explained many things asking the way and we tasted a large variety of food and drinks. We just wish there were some sweets for dessert! Thanks a lot...

Great food experience for the whole family! - We loved our food tour around Athens with our guide, Arela! She was so knowledgeable and interactive with our kids (ages 10 & 8)…it made for a great experience. We sampled so many different foods and she was able to tell us the background of it all and the tour of the fish and meat market was amazing to see! Highly recommend!
