Fotis was our tour guide. He was amazing and explained what you were eating and how it's made at each stop. There were great visuals and explanations of the importance to their culture along with the culinary history.
Food was amazing and guide was awesome! You get to eat the food the locals eats and see where the locals shop.
We had 12 people traveling together and our guide, Fotis, was very knowledgeable about the food, history, and culture. He was very patient and went slow as my 83 year-old mother kept up with us on the 3 hour tour! We learned alot and I would highly recommend this tour!
We really enjoyed Epistimi‘s tour. The food was amazing although there was so much that we couldn’t eat it all! We learned a few Greek phrases! She was very engaging and had a great sense of humor!

Amazing tour of Athens food world with the best tour guide ever! There was more food than I should ever eat in an evening but I found room for all of the delicious offerings.
Excellent way to spend an afternoon getting to try new foods and see the city. Loved all of the explanations and history discussion! Yota was lovely! She was friendly, kind, funny, and intelligent. The afternoon felt like a friend showing you around the city and taking you to their favorite spots to eat. 100% recommend!
