I strongly recommend this tour! Theodor, our guide, was delightful and informative. He shared so much guidance about Athens - historically, politically, architecturally. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! This is a great way to get a feel for Athens.

A wonderful introduction to the variety of food and drink available in Athens. Loved visiting the markets, the sequence of establishments, and the foods we got to taste--just didn't have enough room to eat it all!

I’ve done 3 of these tours now in different countries/cities and they are worth every penny! It’s such a great way to explore a city and try local foods that are delicious and you might not otherwise find. I’ll be doing it again!

Our Athens food tour was a fantastic way to explore the city, and Stelios was the best guide ever. The variety of the food, the interesting stories behind the artisans, and Stelios’ commentary was just 10/10. Loved it.

Delightful small group experience that introduced us to a variety of typical Greek foods, from quick bites to items you’d consider for a more fulfilling meal. We appreciated our guide’s (Vicky) insider tips, knowledge, friendliness and sensitivity to our desires. Great way to start off our time in Athens. Bravo!
