Come ready for adventure - Konstantina was awesome! This was a really cool experience for a first day in Athens. It’s a long night so wear sneakers and come ready to explore. The olive oil tasting was my favorite. Definitely not something I would do without the tour. Greece is so rich and culture and although I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface this was a fantastic 101 course.

Great Tour and Excellent Guide - Manolis was such a great guide. He was not only knowledgeable in wines but also gave us tips on the places we were visiting next. He was extremely effective to create a great atmosphere for everybody in our 8-people group to have such a great time. Highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Athens.

Great tour by Constantina! - Fantastic tour by our guide Constantina! She took us (a group of 3 couples, 6 people total) to several stops to try unique Greek foods/wine. First stop was HooCut Pita (featured by Gordon Ramsey) - we tried both a pork and chicken pita which was very tasty with soft fluffy pita bread (pork was my favorite). Next stop was an olive oil tasting (with demonstration on how to examine the flavor of the olive oil), then a Greek mastiha liqueur tasting - this was a very informative presentation and interesting to try! Then we went for a wine tasting of 4 different Greek wines (various regions/grape varietals explained very well). Next was a family style dinner at "Ella Urban Greek Cuisine" with various Greek specialties to try - several salad/vegetable dishes, several meat dishes (my favorite was the slow cooked lamb). The tour ended with Gelato - try the pistachio! This tour was fun, informative, and we enjoyed meeting the other 2 couples on the tour... Constantina was very sweet, and kept a good pace with fun/lively discussion. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour! - Highly recommend! My husband and I did this tour our first night in Athens and it was so nice to meet a couple other tourists in a small and intimate setting. Our guide, Constantina, was very nice and knowledgeable. It felt like a friend taking you around the city. We thought it was great value for money and liked the mix of trying traditional foods, wines, olive oils and liqueurs. We ended off with gelato. It was a great way to visit a couple neighborhoods and ask questions to learn more beyond just food.
