Athens Foodie Tour—10 out of 10! - What an unexpected delight this tour turned into—super fun!! What would have been interesting and I'm sure tasty turned into an absolute unforgettable experience due to our guide, Eva. She not only "knew the tour" well, clearly had developed great relationships with many of the owners of the places we visited, and was a wonderful font of information steeped in Greek foodie culture, but she was also was a caring guide and an absolute blast to hang out with! What a warm happy zest for life (and Greek culture) Eva exudes and shared with us throughout our varied stops. Again— we (10 in total from all over the world) could not have had a better time. Terrific value. We highly recommend this foodie tour!

So much fun! - I think we had 6 or 7 stops along this tour. Our guide, Fotis, was wonderful and shared so much information about the culture and sights that we passed while walking. The food was amazing and we definitely ended with full bellies! Our favorite stop was the Olive Oil store because the owner/creator happened to be there that day and was funny and shared a lot of information. His store was super cool and featured products from many local small businesses. After the tour, we had about 3 hours in the Plaka district before being picked up and taken back to the cruise terminal. We used that time to walk to the Acropolis and see the Parthenon. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys food and learning about local cultures, but also appreciates dedicated time to do your own self-exploration.

Yummy food and lovely guide - This was definitely worth it. Ed did the food tour with Rena. She was friendly, animated, knew a lot about food and area culture, and obviously enjoyed her job.
We tasted food at 5-6 places. Each one different and each one was REALLY good. The amount of food was almost too much. Loved everything about it and highly recommend it.

Food tour in small group - We did our food tour on the 26th of March. Our group was small and the people were very nice. We visited different markets and got the chance to taste many delicious Greek dishes. The highlight of our tour was our passionate and professional tour guide Giorgia; she explained in great detail the Greek food culture, even including the etymology of words, showing us the real Athens. Thank you for the great experience!

This was a fantastic tour in spite... - <p>This was a fantastic tour in spite of a rainy day in Athens. We ate street food, sampled different foods in small shops, ate pastry in a friendly café, and topped it all off with a huge gyro in a cozy restaurant. At the start of our tour there was a difference in the pick up time at the end and the time stated in our voucher but it was worked out with our tour guide and our taxi driver and at the end of the tour our driver was exactly where he promised to be to pick us up.</p>
