The perfect tour for all travelers. - Eirini was the perfect tour guide for us. Although I have been to Greece many times and know the cuisine and history quite well, my boyfriend does not. The tour took us to a lot of places that, although I have heard of them, I have not had the pleasure of going to. My boyfriend enjoyed getting to try a little bit of everything and not feel overwhelmed. Going on this tour with Eirini felt like we were catching up with an old friend. The experience didn't feel touristy or overwhelming. It was the perfect way to introduce someone to Athens and Greece. Thank you, Eirini, for making mine and Bobby's first trip to Greece together memorable.

The tour that you’ll never forget - Eirini was the best thing that happened to us in Athens. She completely transformed what was a day and a half in the city before going to Santorini, into a full experience of Athens as a local. Not only that, she’s also the BEST human being and we couldn’t be more grateful for us to cross paths. Regarding the food specifically, we wondered in markets, Eirini telling us all about the Greek lifestyle and also had a wonderful early dinner in a beautiful patio. All thanks to her!

My best food tour experience so far - I would give 6 stars out of 5 if I could. Definitely one of the best if not the best food tour I’ve had so far! Really nice introduction to Greek/Mediterranean food, with a lot of insights from the guide about the cuisine and the way of living of the local people as well. We laughed a lot in the group Ive been, the guide was really funny at times! I recommend not to eat breakfast before though. There’s so much food to try haha, even plenty of vegan options for those who it may concern. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

The best intro to Greek life - The guide was exactly were I expected in the square to start the trip, she was very fun and welcoming. After the introductions to the group, she started to telling us little bits of information on Greek history and its relation with the local foods and traditions. Then, during the actual tour, she also mentioned how the people live their daily lives in the city today, especially during the visit to the market. The next time I'll be in Athens I'll take any other tours they have!

This is a MUST do! - We did the first day we got there and so happy that we did! Not only did we get a great tour of the city but the food was all amazing. It gave us a sense of the foods we should be on the lookout for as well as the history behind the food. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful! We still talk about this tour. Highly recommend doing any of the tours!

There wasn’t one. Cancellation equals NO EXPERIENCE but frustratation. I will never use your service again. - Cancellation of this experience on THE DAY of the event 5 hours ahead of its start time is total BS. I am on holidays. I spend all my working life on email and did not read the email cancellation in advance of showing up for the prescribed event. Irresponsible…. I have had this booked for months and have travelled half way around the world for THIS ! Total BS
