Traveler reviews
Wonderful guide and introduction to Greek cuisine
Our tour guide Sophia was a lot of fun and shared a great deal of wonderful information. She took us on a well paced tour of the neighborhoods in Athens with numerous stops at additional Greek restaurants where she shared wonderful dishes and told about their history. She also shared good information about the neighborhoods and about the cuisine we were sampling. The amount of food and drinks we were offered made this a very good deal. Sophia was also very conscious of making sure the pace was good for the whole group. I highly recommend this tour.
Great food experience
Great experience with the guide
Best tour in Athens
Blossom was beyond amazing! She was so fun & we learned so much. The food was the best! I would highly recommend!
Great experience
Wear comfortable shoes. Most of the walking is early in the tour. The meat and cheese restaurant was so good we are going back to take some home. The personal history that Zoi shared about the restaurant we had dinner made the delicious meal even better. The donuts with honey, that all I have to say about those little yummy treats! Glad we didn’t start with them. WOW! Thank you Zoi for giving us a wonderful tour and hopefully we will see you again someday in this beautiful city of wonderful food and people! Cheers!!
Athens with Kristina
Our food tour with Kristina was excellent - communicating and meeting up with her went very smoothly, the tour itself was engaging and educational and we ate a ton of delicious food. Kristina was a wonderful guide - friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and attentive throughout. She taught us a lot about the food, but also about the history and culture of Greece and Athens as well. We had only one other family on our tour, so our the small group size allowed for a lot of really great conversation. We had a fantastic time, and would recommend it to anybody.
