The tour was excellent. The history of the area was interesting and was an added bonus to the wonderful food. Carolina was fun and knowledgeable and shared many stories about the area, cultural and architectural and political.
Thank you for the wonderful review and for joining us to explore the complex history and daily life of this vibrant neighborhood. We are thrilled you enjoyed the stories and the food, as every tour helps support our local culinary heroes and preserve these deeply rooted traditions. We hope to share another walk with you soon.
What fortune that we were the only ones to book this Backstreets tour with 3rd-generation Athenian guide Constantine! Exarchia proved to be the ideal backdrop for Constantine's twin loves of food and radical history. Starting with three different phylo pies (as one does early in the day) and ending with a full meal of North-African-inspired stew of chickpeas and greens, poached almira with sesame and cheese, and traditional moussaka, we needed every minute of the generous 5.5 hours that we spent as friends. The venue/food highlight was an intimate sampling of subversive cheese and spirits (and surprisingly good beef salami) at a local deli. Our guide answered our barrage of questions--culinary, political, musical, and personal--with great patience and cheer. Thank you Constantine for a youthful, yet mature, tour that never devolved into "hip hop and carbs"! Σας ευχαριστώ!

Our culinary tour in Exarchia with Sofia was the absolute highlight of our trip to Athens. Not only is Sofia an incredible guide to the foods and restaurants in Exarchia, she also is a wealth of information about the history, the architecture, the art, and the culture of both the neighborhood and Athens. Plus she is funny and charming in addition to all of that. She absolutely went above and beyond. Our tour, which we did early in our stay in Athens, provided us with information and ideas that made the rest of our stay so much richer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Thankyou to Constantine for a great tour ! Constantin was knowledgable about the food but also the buildings we pasted by and the area we visited. The tour does not usually operate on a Sunday and some of the places we were supposed to visit were closed but Constantine always had another option up his sleeve. We ate meat on a skewer, cod with skordalia, fried anchovy, tarama and crusty bread, chick peas with greens and many more delicious things. Wine in carafes helped to wash down our feast.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted that Constantine was able to share both the culinary delights and the unique character of Exarchia with you. It’s wonderful to hear that even with a few closures, the tour still offered a rich and varied tasting experience, and that the food, wine, and local knowledge left a lasting impression. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Constantine!
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Natali was a wonderful guide-interesting, knowledgeable, and kind. The food was delicious and made extra special by Natali's introductions to the people whose shops, many of them in the family for generations, make Athens so special. We can't recommend highly enough.

Highlight of my Athens stay. Our guide Constantine made the day a truly wonderful experience. We learnt more about Athens and the culture and history through their food. If you’re bored looking at ruins and only seeing the tourist areas and want to experience the true Athens, take this tour. Our guide Constantine made the day very special.
