Amazing tour! - This was such a great tour! It would be great to do near the beginning of your trip to Athens, as you walk around some of the main districts and this tour allows you to become familiar with a fairly large area. All the food was amazing, and our tour guide was great. Would absolutely recommend!

Super fun and delicious food tour! - A truly awesome experience! Both Foti and Katerina were extremely welcoming and knowledgable. We did this on our last day in Athens, and while it was a great way to conclude our trip, I suggest doing it towards the beginning of your trip because they give great recommendations for additional places to visit. Regardless of when you do it, we 100% recommend this food tour for anyone and everyone! Thank you for the wonderful time!

Great introduction to Greek street food & Athens at the same time. - Antonia was a brilliant guide, friendly, informative & accommodating. Pointing out places of historical significance & explaining the history of Athens &/or Greek food, as we walked around central Athens. We sampled 3 savoury foods & 2 sweet foods on the tour -the pistachio donuts were especially good. Highly recommended Tour if you want to be introduced to authentic Greek street food & Athens at the same time.
