Be open to experiencing wonderful different types of Greek food. The walk around the city was lovely and meeting new people was great. The tour guide really made you feel welcomed
Our tour guide was very friendly & informative. The food was very authentic & excellent! We saw a section of Athens that you wouldn't see with a car tour. Highly recommend this food tasting tour!
Excellent tour with Viktor which included delicious Greek food & also some Greek history. Viktor looked after us well with regular bottled water & also a short detour to see the Orthodox Church interior.
We had the most fun, delicious and interesting tour with our guide, Amy. She wove history, etymology, fashion and ingredients into a living experience of the story of Athens. Every stop was fabulous and every story engaging. Even though I couldn't have eaten another bite, my appetite was awakened to learn more.
Christina was a fantastic tour guide! She was friendly and so informative. You could tell how passionate she is about Athens and its food. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to taste great food and experience the city with a true local!
