Amazing tour! Really enjoyed learning about the Greek culture. The wine tasting was incredible and educational. Nice small group of like minded people with great food, awesome wine, and a nice stroll through Athens. Also cool learning about the Greek mythology.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, Lauren! Knowing that our blend of history, ancient lore, and regional flavors made your time in the city so memorable brings a huge smile to our team. Connecting wonderful people over shared discoveries is exactly what we love to do. We hope to see you again soon!
Absolutely one of the best Food Tours we’ve ever been on. Terrific guide, outstanding Greek food and wine (and hospitality).
What a wonderful compliment, Cathy! Thank you so much for choosing us and for sharing your enthusiasm for our local flavors and hospitality. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again soon for more delicious discoveries!
Our Athens Walking Wine and Food Tour was one of the highlights of our visit. As a private tour for just Robbie and Drew, it felt incredibly personal and relaxed. The tour was exceptionally well planned, combining fascinating local history with outstanding food and wine experiences. We visited several upmarket venues, enjoyed a generous variety of delicious food, and never felt rushed. Constantina was a warm, knowledgeable, and engaging host who brought the stories of Athens to life and tailored the experience beautifully. We left with a deeper appreciation of the city, its culture, and its cuisine. Highly recommended!
Thank you for this wonderful review, Robyn! Hearing that our tour was a highlight for you makes our day! We love crafting relaxed, private experiences that blend history with incredible cuisine. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the curated venues and delicious tastings. We truly hope to see you again soon!
Overall it was a great experience. I will note that the only wine is at the tasting. Personally, my wife and I felt that the overall experience wasn't "premium" or worth the price point, but the food and wine we did get were good and enjoyable. It is a LOT of walking, so please be aware of that, but our guide was so sweet and nice and we enjoyed our time. There is a lot of time in between tastings and a lot of talking from the guides. More wine and less time in between stops might make this better. It felt as though they were trying to waste time to make the experience take the allotted amount of time.
Tim, thank you for sharing your review! We are glad you had a great experience overall and enjoyed the food, wine, and warm hospitality. We appreciate your feedback regarding the pacing; it’s a bit surprising since this structure is usually a highlight for our guests, but we always value different perspectives. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to see you and your wife again soon!

It warms our hearts to hear you had such an awesome experience, Sheri! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the delicious food and great wine. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to see you again soon!
Great experience! Tried several food and drinks I would have never know to look for and everything was so delicious! Our guide also gave us some recommendations for other places to visit on our trip and was so nice.
Thank you, Jacquelyn, for the lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed discovering those hidden culinary treasures and found our local recommendations helpful for the rest of your trip. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again soon for another wonderful experience in Greece!
The guide was very nice but just not at the level for this to be marketed as a ‘foodie’ tour. The food tasting offered were good but nothing special. I was hoping for a more unique experience rather than the more tourist spots we were taken to. I would suggest focusing more on unique traditional tavernas and places were locals go rather than the popular tourists spots we were taken to that I could have found myself.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, Arvind. We're truly sorry you feel that way. It comes as a surprise, as our guests usually leave raving reviews about this tour. Our team carefully curates each stop to balance iconic traditional flavors with local favorites, but we appreciate your perspective. Wishing you safe and wonderful travels ahead!
Fantastically curated and timed evening! Debi thought of everything. Food choices were amazing, great knowledge of Athens, and very easy to talk to and ask questions. Loved this tour!
Thank you so much for this lovely review, Caroline! We're thrilled the evening was so well-curated and timed, and that the food, the knowledge, and the easy conversation all came together beautifully. It means the world to hear you loved it. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Great quality, although a little pricey. We were a group of 4 which made it easy to talk and hear the guide.
Thank you for your feedback! Happy to hear you enjoyed the quality and the small group atmosphere; it really makes the experience more personal.
