Best way to learn about a new country! - Our guide was Kostas; he was awesome!! We saw and ate so much we skipped dinner. It was the best way to start our visit in Athens; we understood much more about the food and shopping areas. The whole group seemed to really enjoy themselves and get into the spirit of trying new foods.

Must do! - Fantastic tour and Terry was an excellent guide. As well as tasting some wandering local foods, all of which was excellent, he provided great info on local sights we walked past and some history on Athens and Greece. Much more than just a food tour. We would definitely recommend it.

Food tasting in Athens - Our Guide Costas was not only informative and enjoyable but also a fine young man. The Greek food he presented to us from morning bakeries to a proper lunch were outstanding! We would book this Food Tasting again and request Costas as well.

Great food tour!! - This was a great tour! We had Menelaous as our tour guide. We made 8 or 9 stops for tastings. I loved the variety. Pastries, the meat market, cheese shop, coffee, and various others. We got a bit of history along with the food.

Don't Eat Before the Tour! - Make sure you schedule a morning or afternoon for this amazing food tour. We did the Ultimate Food tasting tour. We met at Monastiraki square in front of Holy church of Virgin Mary Pantanassa. From there we walked the streets of Athens savoring some amazing food. Our guide, Lefteris, was fun and informative. He also added a lot of history to our tour so it wasn't just about the food. Our last stop was a taverna where we sampled all kinds of delicious mezes (appetizers). Highly recommend this tour.

Worth It!! - We went out with Lefteris, and had such a fun time. We got to taste many savory items. We also stopped at a cheese place (I never knew fresh feta was so soft and tangy) and an olive spot. Of the two food tours we did in Greece, this one was the best, both for the variety of food, but the knowledge of our guide as well. I learned so many things on this tour. Definitely a must if you come to Athens.

Amazing food. Amazing experience. Our guide Left was wonderful. - What an amazing experience. My daughter & I capped off our week in Greece with the morning Ultimate Food Tasting Tour. Left was our guide. We wandered the streets and ate amazing foods while learning the history of what we were eating and how it tied into every aspect of Greek life. There's no better way to get to know a country than to understand its food. Highly recommend this tour. I'm sure you'll be happy with any of the guides. We were thrilled with Left.

Excellent experience and we would highly recommend it! - This was one of the best food tours I’ve ever taken in any city in the world. Costos was so wonderful and so knowledgeable about not only food and culture, but neighborhoods and things that we’re going on in the area. We ate at many different places, like we had Yogurt, that was delicious, then a type of pretzel ring with tahini, then cheese, and farm bread, and then had a feast at a local restaurant with a little wine. It was so interesting to see the market with meats and fish and produce. We were joined on the tour with another small family and stayed after to talk and exchange stories. And they were absolutely wonderful. We ended with having ice cream. It was just out of this world. What an excellent host and we would do it again if we came back to Greece. Well worth the money which included all of the food.
