- Koukaki District - We will head towards a local microbrewery, where I will offer you a Greek local beer. This place has beers that you can usually find on Greek islands.
- Acropolis - Of couse we will finish the evening with one of my favorite Greek desserts. I will walk you also to the finishing point which is Akropolis metro station and I will show you the beautiful pedestrian street of Makrigianni and Apostolou Pavlou, where we will have the chance to enjoy Acropolis lit! Perfect way to finish the night!

Real local experience - amazing food! - Thank you Christina for a wonderful evening in your district! I absolutely loved it in Koukaki: great atmosphere, everything very local and authentic, your interesting insights and of course the amazing food! Not only was it plentiful and tasted fabulous, it was also "real Greek" and I got to try new foods and tastes that I hadn't tried before. So thank you so much - I had a great time!

The Perfect Tour with the Perfect Guide! - Christina was the perfect guide for us. She was so knowledgeable about the deep history behind the food scene in Athens and led us to several places that really gave us a great opportunity to experience the different tastes of traditional food. She also knew the shop keepers of the sites we visited, which gave us a chance to meet them and hear their stories. One of my friends had a special diet and Christina made sure he was able to eat everywhere we visited - with the same proportion of food that the rest of us had. We were never bored as the conversation never stopped. We hated that our tour ended because we were enjoying ourselves so much but we're happy because we couldn't fit another ounce of food into our bellies! Everything was delicious! I highly recommend taking this tour with Christina. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing tour! - Christina is amazing!! She is so lovely, knowledgeable, and friendly! Everyone in our group had a great time. The food was delicious and it was amazing to try things we may not have selected for ourselves otherwise, but loved once we had them! A food tour is truly the best way to see the city! This was one of our favorite parts of Athens

Authentic Evening Experience with Christina! - This tour exceeded my expectations! Christina knew everyone in the bars and restaurants we visited, as she lived in Koukaki her all life and she made sure we were all taken care of. Come hungry as you are going to eat a lot!
It was so nice exploring a local neighborhood, avoiding the tourist traps in Monastiraki and Plaka.

Christina is like a celebrity in Koukaki! We felt like VIP! - This tour was amazing, a must activity to book, away from the tourist traps of Plaka and Monastiraki. Koukaki is such a trendy district with such a local vibe. Also very close to Akropolis area by walk. Me and my friends had so much fun and Christina is such a caring and fun local, it was our honor to meet her and spend time with her. She actually grew up in Koukaki and she greeds everyone in the street! We felt so vip!
The food was from another planet, we would have never found these places on our own. The drinks very tasty too. I wish there was a way to put 10 stars instead of 5. Christina, we can’t thank you enough!
