10/10 recommend!! Great bites and beautiful tour of Fira - This experience was a 10/10. We had Lena as our tour guide and she was so passionate and enjoyable to spend time with. The food itself was about a 4/5 but it was awesome to discover local restaurants and cuisines while also exploring Fira. If you are looking for a food tour in Santorini I highly recommend this! Super organized and super fun!!

Great experience! - We had a food tour with Lena. She was very good and experienced on the local food. She talked us through the history of the local favourites and dishes. We really enjoyed the traditional Greek coffee made in a briki, fava beans ‘hummus’, capers and fresh tomatoes. There were a variety of dishes to try and we became very knowledgeable in the local food. Highly recommend!

Lovely walking and food tour - It was a lovely experience our guide was very informative about the culture and the food we sampled in fira santorini. The walk was not to hard but if you have difficulty walking this tour might not be for you. Catching the sunset was a added bonus,. The tour ended with desert at the last stop which was divine. I surprised my wife with this tour for her 60th Birthday, which she really enjoyed, food lovers will love this walking food tour.

Wonderful experience - Not enough words to describe our amazing tour with Gabriel. He was very knowledgeable about the island’s history and customs. The places we stopped at had wonderful food and service. We had gotten in late and didn’t have the key to our room and our phone had died so we were not sure of the location of our hotel. Gabriel helped us find a taxi and showed him the hotel’s location. We don’t know what we would have done without his help. We would highly recommend this tour. Wonderful food, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly and knowledgeable guide.

A brilliant experience - Such a great tour. Our guide Gabriel was so knowledgeable and personable, sharing info on the island and its food traditions along the way. We sampled loads of amazing food and drink as we ambled through Fira. Highly recommend you arrive hungry (we’d been recommended the tour by other travellers we met on our island hopping trip and glad to have been told to arrive hungry - so much yummy food!). We did the evening tour so stopped to watch the sunset before we headed to the final stop for some dessert. A great way to get your bearings in Fira and to sample local food and drink.
