This was the most amazing tour I have ever taken in my life! All of the food was amazing, but the most memorable part was Eva’s (the tour guide) knowledge and personality throughout the streets of Greece. Maybe one day I will forget how the food tasted, but I will never forget who Eva is. It is such a pleasure to have met her and every single item we tried (and there was an abundance) was delicious. I highly recommend this tour for anyone in Athens and especially at the beginning of your trip to know what to eat more of later on! Eva is the most special person I have ever met and the best way to have any tour in Athens
Eva Estia gave us a memorable evening. We walked, we chatted and we ate alot.Eav was very engaging and knowledgeable, sharing stories of life in Greece.Highly recommended. We have returned to some of the restaurants that she took us too.
Eva was fabulous! We took the food tour on our last day in Athens, and it was so much more than just a food tour. She took us around parts of the city that we would’ve never explored on our own. The highlight, all the food…the food that we tasted was amazing. We went to so many different little authentic places that we would’ve never found on our own. By the end of the night we were so full, definitely come hungry! Eva was so warm and friendly and hospitable, highly recommend this tour!
Eva is incredible. Her knowledge of the city and the food is amazing. Her friendliness is so sincere and she truly makes you feel as though you are just catching up with a friend in an amazing city. The food was incredible and the value was outstanding.
An amazing food tour with Eva. So much food! Eva was so knowledgeable and welcoming. We ate so much, it was hard to fit the loukamades in at the end. Not just food, we also got to experience some hidden areas in Plaka. I would recommend to anyone, particularly on their first night in Athens.
Can I give Eva 10 stars?? She was AMAZING. Funny, charismatic, knowledgeable, she kept my 12 and 14 year olds in stitches. She walked us through some beautiful quiet spots in Athens that I never would have seen before and we ate ourselves silly! She knows every shopkeeper so we waited for nothing. I told her I’d like to bring home some olive oil so she made sure to stop at her favorite olive oil (and honey!!) place. By the end of the night she was disco dancing with my son and even my sometimes prickly 14 year old daughter gave her a hug goodbye. This will definitely be one of the highlights of our trip.
What an incredible experience! As a couple visiting Athens, we wanted to see more than the typical tourist spots, and Eva delivered exactly that. She took us to places we would never have found on our own, truly off the beaten track and full of local character. The food was outstanding, from delicious sheep's yogurt to the most amazing spinach tart, along with many other authentic Greek specialties. Every stop had its own story, and Eva's knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. What really stood out was Eva's passion for what she does. She clearly loves sharing Athens, its culture, and its food, and that passion shines through in every part of the tour. It felt less like a guided tour and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend. If you want to discover the real Athens and enjoy wonderful food along the way, we cannot recommend this tour highly enough. A truly memorable experience
We’ve taken food tours in cities around the world, and this was by far the best one we’ve ever experienced. Eva was an absolute delight—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing Greek culture and cuisine. We loved exploring a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own unique character, while sampling an incredible array of delicious local foods. This tour was the perfect introduction to Greece and gave us a much deeper appreciation for Athens and its culinary traditions. Don’t miss this tour! I give it my highest recommendation!
Eva showed many sites off the beaten path that we would not have seen otherwise. We tasted at small eateries and the food was delicious. We walked through the market and were amazed at the beautiful fresh foods. It is a lot of walking so be prepared.
We had a wonderful tour. We walked through the lesser traveled streets and saw what normal tourists on their own would not see. We sampled many foods and went through the markets. Lunch was excellent. Highly recommend.
