Lovely, informative and delicious stroll around the heart of Athens. Learned about Greek "home cooking", daily staples and rhythm of life. Katia was an excellent guide- attentive, friendly and full of information.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed learning about Greek home cooking and the vibrant culinary culture of the city.

My husband and I booked this tour after loving two similar tours in Istanbul by the same company. Our guide in Athens was Natali, who was totally engaging. The other guests were a father and his adult sons. To start, Natali was so friendly and approachable. She gave us a little bit of Greek history to begin our walk. At each stop, she explained the food and its importance in Greek history or culture. We sampled so many foods! In between we walked and explored different neighborhoods. I especially enjoyed that we were off the beaten path. It was lovely! We never felt rushed and there was a ton of food. We each got a book with pictures and a listing of recommended restaurants in Athens. That will definitely come in handy the rest of our trip!
Thank you so much for joining our Moveable Sunday Feast — and for coming back to explore with us again after your Istanbul tours! We truly appreciate your loyalty and it’s always such a pleasure to see familiar faces discovering new cities through our walks. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with Natali. We take great pride in working with guides who are not only knowledgeable but also deeply connected to the places they call home, and Natali is exactly that. It’s wonderful that you appreciated how food, history, and culture are intertwined throughout the tour — that is exactly what we are going for. We’re also so glad you liked wandering a bit off the beaten path and that your little book of recommendations will continue to be useful during your stay in Athens.

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our guide Natali was very knowledgeable about the history of Greece and how that influenced the foods in Greece. All the foods we tried were delicious and many I had never tried or heard of before. The group stopped at several different establishment and had a lovely stroll between each that allowed Natali to provide a history of the city of Athens. It was a food and history tour all rolled into one. After this experience I want to try Culinary Backstreet tours in my country and any other countries I might visit!
