We did the XXL Food Tour in Athens and were absolutely thrilled from start to finish. Everything was perfect: the restaurants, the quality of the food, and the incredibly welcoming hosts at every stop. But what truly made the experience unforgettable were our guides, Christina and Christos. From the very first moment, it felt as if we had known them forever. It wasn’t just a "tour"; it felt like spending the day with long-time friends who were showing us their hometown and introducing us to their local circle. We got to experience Athens exactly like locals do. The time flew by, and we were actually a bit sad when it was over. The whole atmosphere was lighthearted, fun, and authentic. It was worth every single cent, and I would book it again in a heartbeat on my next visit. Don’t miss out on this!
Thank you so much for these beautiful words ❤️. It truly means a lot to us. We had such a great time with you and would love to see you again in Athens someday! 😊 Christina & Christos
We booked a food tour of Athens. It was excellent! So many delicacies and loving "hosts". You get typical Greek high-quality food and it's just fun to stroll through the streets with Christina and Christos. It was very relaxed and we laughed a lot:-) Thanks for these great hours with you! We can only recommend this tour!
Liebe Christina, Vielen vielen Dank für diese schöne Bewertung :). Wir haben die Zeit mit euch sehr genossen und freuen uns euch bald wiederzusehen <3. Liebe Grüße, dicken Drücker <3, Crizi + Christos
Christina and Christos are great guides. We were in Athens before departure on a cruise with 4 of our friends and we wanted a walking foodie tour. Christina and Christos showed up on time and ready to deliver an afternoon of fun experiences. We started off walking through history and stopped for a delicious pastry. Then off through the neighborhood to a small cafe for a light native alcoholic refreshment. Continued our trek through various streets seeing ruins and beautiful buildings. We stopped at a wonderful little tienda where we bought local spices and wonderful dried fruit and lastly had a wonderful meal at an authentic Greek restaurant. Our time on this tour was filled with laughter and we made some great memories!! Thank you Christina and Christos
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful words! Spending the afternoon with you and your friends was such a joy. I’m so happy we could share our Athens with you and be part of these special memories. Thank you for choosing us and we hope to see you again one day <3. Warm hugs from Athens, Christina and Christos
I don’t do reviews at all. Unless it is truly deserving. Chris & Chris not only gave us a tour but gave us memories of a lifetime. Travelled to 56 countries & always do private tours. Some feel robotic, forced, boring or overwhelming. This was a very experiential tour where the guides’ positive energies resonated all throughout every bite and every step of the walking tour. The pace was relaxed and chill but still we got a lot done. The servings were just right that you had your fill of the city’s offerings without getting satiated. It was like having a food crawl with best buds that it didn’t feel like a tour at all. Christina was the heart of the tour, while Chris was the beat. They balance each other, intuitively proactive on what we needed or what would be good to add to the tour to make ours most enjoyable. Even go as far as helping me out record my own content, without me even asking. Genuine-hearted that after the tour, you just want the best for them. They made our quick layover fun, dynamic and memorable. What started out as food, ended up much more with our hearts full as well. Can’t wait to go back to try out their other tours! Definitely, definitely recommend these two!
Thank you so soooo much for your beautiful words - they truly mean the world to us. Meeting you was an absolute highlight and guiding you never felt like “work” for a second. Your energy, curiosity and kindness made the whole experience flow so naturally that it really did feel like spending time with friends. We’re incredibly grateful that you trusted us with your short layover and that the tour became more than just food - that it became a memory. Hearing that you’ve travelled so widely and still felt something special with us is one of the best compliments we could ever receive. Thank you for seeing us so genuinely, for sharing this with such heart and for letting us be part of your journey. We’re already excited for the day you come back - there’s so much more we’d love to show you. Until then, sending you both a huge hug and all the good vibes <3. We love you!!! <3 :)
The kids helped us find room tickets and many activities in Santorini at the best prices, guidance for everything and where!! Thank you.
Thank you so so much :). LOVE, Christina & Christos
During my trip to Athens, I booked the Food XXL Tour and a transfer with Santorini Angels Tours and it turned out to be one of the best choices I made! From the very first moment, everything ran smoothly. The pickup was right on time and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The food tour wasn’t just about eating (though the food was incredible) - it was a full experience of Greek stories and places only locals know. Christina and Christos were the perfect hosts and make you feel happy. If you’re looking for something real, personal and way beyond the typical tourist path - this is it. Thank you for the beautiful memories!
Thank you deep from our heart :)!!! LOVE, Christina & Christos
We spent our holidays in Athens and booked the Food XXL Tour and one day after paragliding with Santorini Angels - and it was really the highlight of our trip! Christina and Christos were so warm, welcoming and full of positive energy. The food tour was delicious from start to finish and the paragliding experience gave us unforgettable views. Everything was perfectly organized and we felt truly looked after the whole time. Thank you both for such an amazing experience - we’ll definitely be back!
Thank you so so much for this kind review :). It was a big pleasure for us and we hope to welcome you again in future. Best regards, Christina & Christos
I grew up in Athens and have been living in England for the last years. On a recent vacation back to Greece, I decided to reconnect with the city I grew up in - and joining the XXL Food Tour with Christos and Christina was one of the absolute highlights of my trip. Even though I know Athens well, this tour opened my eyes to a whole new side of the city. Christos and Christina are the perfect hosts - warm, knowledgeable and full of passion for Greek food and culture. They make everyone feel like part of the family from the very beginning. We explored local markets, small family-run spots, traditional bakeries, and hidden food corners I had never even noticed before - and I grew up here! Every stop had something special to offer, from incredible meze and koulouri to fresh cheeses, loukoumades and so much more. The portions were seriously generous - the “XXL” in the title is no joke - and everything was absolutely delicious. As someone with deep roots in Greece but living abroad, this tour was both nostalgic and refreshing. It reminded me of the tastes and atmosphere I grew up with, but also introduced me to new places and flavors. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this is the kind of experience that leaves you full in every sense of the word - food, culture and connection. Huge thank you to Christos and Christina - you’ve created something truly special for me ❤️.
Thank you so much for this kind review :). We cannot wait to experience more with youuu! Filakia, Christos + Christina
My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour! Christina and Christos were amazing tour guides who made our trip to Athens a fun one. They took us to different spots and showed us amazing food and drinks. They were so personable and friendly. Definitely would recommend this tour.
Dear Stephanie + Victor, Thank you so much!! :) It was such a pleasure meeting you both :). Cannot wait to see you both again in future. Filakia from Athens <3, Christina + Christos
The XXL Food Tour with Christina and Christos was really amazing!! 🥰 Both are very kindly and friendly 💜🙏🏽. The restaurants and food were perfectly selected. The tour was very professionally prepared: we were asked in advance if we had any allergies or intolerances, and if there was anything we didn't like. These weren't typical tourist hotspots, truly insider! :-) thank you so much for the great time togehter!! 💜💜💜
Dear Tabea + Mami <3, Thank you SOOOO so much!! We hug you and send you love. It was such a pleasure meeting you both :). Filakia from Athens <3, Christina + Christos
