Cat was wonderful! She was so sweet and knowledgeable. Our stops were perfect! The food was great! Awesome experience!
Met Yanis at the location along with two other couples. The best food tour in Athens. Tasted some of the best Greek foods. Yanis was patient, went at a pace comfortable for everyone. The Souvlaki was delicious & there was so much food offered at each place we stopped.
It was a really fun night! Constantine did a great job! We were introduced to many Greek specialties and traditions. Everything local and fresh. Walked through new areas of Athens and had a great night. It was a lot of food!
Absolutely loved this experience! Our guide Zefi was a gem!! Our group consisted of tourists from all over and by the end of the tour we were like family , even extending hanging out after the tour. Food truly brings people, places, and cultures together!
Dimitris, our polyglot guide, was excellent. Somehow, he took the time to learn all of our names before we even got there. You will take a little tour through the busiest part of town, stopping along the way for a nibble here, a nosh there. You will not be able to finish all of your food. Pace yourself. Make a new friend.
