This was a great experience for our family (7 people from 12 - 65y/o). Byron was great with lots of info and made everything easy for us. If you like to cook (or eat), this is a great experience.
Hey Jeri, It can be a challenge to find an activity that keeps everyone from ages 12 to 65 happy, so we are absolutely pleased that our cooking class was a hit for the whole family! Byron loves making the kitchen a fun, accessible, and informative space for all generations. Whether you love to cook or just love to eat, it's a win-win! Thank you for cooking (and eating) with us! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
The location and the view were the star of the show! Couldn’t have asked for a better setting. The class was engaging for the entire family.
Hey Greg, You really can't beat cooking great food with a killer view! We're so glad the setting hit the mark and that the class kept the entire family engaged. It's always a blast hosting everyone together. Thanks for joining us for dinner! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Excellent! The food was delicious and fun to make. Byron was an excellent instructor, so friendly and knowledge. And the view is amazing.
Hi! Thank you so much for the excellent review! We are excited to hear that you had a fun time making (and eating!) delicious food during your cooking class. Byron is a wonderful instructor, and we will be sure to pass along your compliments about his friendly nature and deep knowledge. It is truly hard to beat pairing a great meal with that amazing view! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
This cooking class was so much fun! Don't be fooled: there are no ovens or stoves; you're, at best, learning to prep the dishes. The knives are horrible (the tip had broken off mine), and the provided tools are minimal. That said, the dishes we prepared were tasty absent the entree, and the experience was a blast!
Hey Minh! Thanks for keeping it real and letting us know you had a blast! You're totally right—it’s more of a prep-and-party hands-on experience than a professional culinary boot camp, but those knives definitely shouldn't be giving you a workout. We’ll get our kitchen team to sharpen up the tools pronto. So glad the flavors and the fun still hit the spot! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Excellent, relaxing time spent with other travelers learning some food culture of the area. Vicki, our instructor did an excellent job managing our group making everyone feel involved in the experience Thank you
Hey Terry! Thanks a million for the wonderful review! We're so glad you had such an excellent, relaxing time cooking and bonding with your fellow travelers. That is exactly the vibe we go for! Vicki is an absolute natural at making sure everyone feels right at home and hands-on in the kitchen. She will be happy to hear her passion for our local food culture made your evening so special. Thank you for cooking with us, and happy hosting back home! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Byron was an amazing chef/teacher and was so friendly, knew tons about Greek cooking, and was patient with my daughter who is 7yrs old. I loved this class, highly recommend it. The traditional Greek dishes we made were delicious. Amazing view and location too!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Karen! We are absolutely excited to hear that the cooking class was the highlight of your trip! Byron takes great pride in sharing his passion for Greek cuisine, and it is so heartwarming to hear how patient and encouraging he was with your 7-year-old daughter. Creating a space where the whole family can get hands-on and have fun is exactly what we aim for. We are glad you loved the traditional dishes, the location, and that beautiful view! Thank you for the high recommendation. Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Vikki was such an incredible teacher and had great insight on Greek Culture and daily life. We made so much food, even with five people we couldn't finish it all.
"Food for days" is the best kind of feedback we can get! We’re so glad you enjoyed the abundance and that Vikki’s insights into Greek culture made the kitchen feel like home. It’s a point of pride for us that no one leaves our table hungry! We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to Vikki—maybe next time you'll have to bring an even bigger appetite! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Personal, fun, educational, easy, comfortable setting. Easy to find, accommodating to allergies. Would recommend
Hello, we are so happy you enjoyed our cooking class! From allergy accommodations to a cozy setting, we aim to make every guest feel at home while mastering Greek flavors. It’s so nice to hear you found it both educational and fun. We hope you’re ready to recreate a taste of Athens back in your own kitchen! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
The instructor was friendly and made it fun. We prepared 4 dishes and it turned out great. She explained the recipes and how it has been prepared over the years.
Hi Linda, thank you for the glowing review! We are so glad you had such a fun time in the kitchen. There is something so special about not just eating Greek food, but learning the "how" and the "why" behind the recipes that have been passed down through generations. We’re pleased that all four dishes turned out great, you'll have to recreate them for your friends back home! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
A great informative cooking class making all our favorites! We cannot believe we could now cook and the class did further empower our cooking skills and food prep!
Hi Craig, Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cooking class and had fun preparing some Greek favorites. It’s a joy to hear the experience helped build your confidence in the kitchen — that’s exactly what we hope for. We hope you’ll keep bringing a taste of Greece to your table! Warm regards, Athens Walking Tours Team
