Great Time on Athens Food Tour - The tour was outstanding. The food was great. We were totally stuffed. We really enjoyed it not being in the main tourist areas. Dora, our host, was great. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour! We really got to see where the locals eat! - From ring bread to doughnuts to pastries to gyros, we got to really get a taste of Athens best foods. Anna knows the owners of the cafes and got us access to watch them make Greek coffee and handmade doughnuts.
Very cool, very fun!

Educational Food Tour - Our tour was excellent. Many food varies with an explanation of each dish. The wine was explained to us by type and regions. We were taken to the fish and meat market also. All about 5 miles total however Adele was a great guide and she took us at a pace that I as a 75 year old could keep up with. I highly recommend this tour and our guide Adele.

Fantastic tour, 100% recommend - Great tour and amazing/friendly host - Dora. There were only 4 of us, due to visiting out of season (sorry you had to show us around on a freezing cold day!!). Do not eat anything before the tour, there is so much to consume, which was all really tasty. Not too much walking either. Thank you for a great tour and especially showing the Greek coffee in the sand, which we would never have known about - we did return for more :)

The tour guide (Adele)... - The tour guide (Adele) was very down to earth and informative throughout the tour. We have huge appetites and even we struggled with the sheer amount of food on offer so ensure you arrive hungry! Really enjoyed all the varieties of food on offer and highly recommend!

Loads of fun! Arrive hungry! - Loads of fun. Nice people. Awesome and highly experienced guide. Loved seeing the fish, meat, and vegetable markets.
Excellent communication and updates prior to tour.
Didn’t like the souvlaki made with tomato sauce. Would prefer appetizer type food first (charcuterie items), the pies (spinach, cheese, etc) second, the main food (souvlaki) third, and then the coffee, yogurt, and sweet donut desert type items last. Nice assortment of different establishments.
