Great experience! - We had a lovely tour with Kristina. Be sure to arrive hungry! The guide and businesses we visted were very accommodating to both gluten and dairy allergies. Very surprising in Greece considering the typical dishes. 10 out of 10 experience and great way to spend an evening!

Fantastic Tour - We did this tour on Sunday June 16th and it was amazing. The combination of delicious food, beverages, and history of the areas as well as the restaurants kept us involved and entertained the whole time. Our host was Greek and had spent some time in Australia provided a unique perspective of the food and culture as well.

Great Experience - Anna was absolutely amazing. We did this tour on our first night in Athens and it was a great experience. The food tour was a great way to see Athens and experience the food. All of the stops showed us a different area to explore later. Anna was very knowledgeable and we truly enjoyed our time with her.
