5 star first stop! - Rita was a lovely guide on our first day/tour in Athens! She did a great job blending the history of the city with the cuisine. We did 5 stops during the tour and enjoyed each of them immensely. She was also a great resource and answered questions about different neighborhoods, activities to do,historical sites, etc. We left the tour stuffed with food (and knowledge).

Wonderful way to spend an evening in Athens. - Konstantina was an amazing guide! Knowledgeable, engaging, and personable. She was also flexible in the itinerary; once she realized that we had managed to already eat at the restaurant she had originally planned to take our group to, she had a backup quickly lined up which was absolutely delicious! Highly recommended.

Just go ahead and pick this tour! - Honestly one of the best tours I have been on anywhere in the world. Our guide Niki was fabulous. Incredibly insightful, magnetic personality, excellent communicator and brimming with knowledge. She introduced us with a charming passion to her culture combined with history, absolutely brilliant. The food was beyond description; delicious, mouth watering… no words are good enough.

Save your money and go on your own - The tour guide Maritta was amazing, very knowledgeable and did a great job. The expectation for $250 dollars per person however was not worth it. You could easily buy the food on own for less than $70 dollars. The first meal was a gyro with $4.50 euros should have been a hint. The wine experience was excellent but again not worth the money.
