Amazing food, amazing company - Amazing guide, amazing food (and LOTS of it) and great company! Our guide Kostas told us everything we need to know about the food scene in Athens and even gave us hints for the rest of our travels around Greece. Highly recommended, but don't eat breakfast before going on the tour!

Great way to experience Greek food - Great food I wouldn’t have probably tried if not on this tour, knowledgeable guide. Menelaus had great spots to take us to eat and pointed out interesting sites along the way. Meeting point was easy enough to find in front of the small church.

Great Greece tour by Lefty! - This was an excellent tour a variety in foods and our tour guide lefty was great. Highly recommend! Lefty was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered the tour with a great sense of humor and historical value. Highly recommend chatting with Tour Operator in regards to meet location as it must be more specific.

Fabulous Ultimate Food Tour Athens - Leftheris was an excellent guide that made our Ultimate Food Tour so enjoyable. We tried so many different Greek foods in a range of neighborhoods. It was great to finish with shared plates of Greek starters. Lots of interesting information along the way as well. Highly recommend this four hour walking tour.

Great half-day introduction to Athens - Maria took us on a very informative tour of the Plaka, Psyrri and Monastiraki neighborhoods of Athens. Along the way we sampled Greek yogurt with honey, meats, cheeses, figs, nuts, olives, sweet and savory pies, and Greek coffee. The tour ended with a very generous sit-down lunch with a wide variety of traditional foods. Our group was 12 people, which was a great size for getting to know people and also being able to ask questions and get to know Maria a bit. I would highly recommend this tour as an intro to Athens.

Take this Tour! - We had some great tours in Athens but this was by far our favorite. Our guide Terry was super nice and so knowledgeable about all things Greece not just the food. The tour lasted around 4 hours and we tried so many popular Greek dishes. Before we started the tour our guide asked about food allergies and easily accommodated those needs. If someone in the group didn’t care to try an item they offered to find an alternative. This was such a great tour I will now try to find one wherever we travel.

Food, tour guide and surroundings were amazing - Costas was amazing. He could not have done anything better. His sense of humour and analogies were spot on for our tour group, and he made sure to have personal interactions with each couple/group. A wonderful ambassador for food-on-foot tour
