This tour is a must for anyone that wants to see the off-the-beaten path places in Athens. The food was terrific! The guide was spectacular! This was the highlight of our time in Athens.
Great food great Guide. One of our most favorite things we did on the trip.
We greatly appreciated our experience. We were able to taste several local specialties (generous portions, to consider for smaller appetites), the food was excellent. We were able to discover places that we would not have known otherwise than with a local guide; it was very typical and an authentic experience. Our guide Nikos was very friendly, attentive, and very interesting. We highly recommend it. The stroll through the Plaka and Monastiraki neighborhoods was also very pleasant.
Simos our guide took us on a walking food tour filled with traditional Greek dishes and brought the history of Athens to life.
