Not to be missed!
My goodness, don’t miss this good tour if you really want a wide swath of introductory foods in Athens! Our guide, Fotis, was such a delight and shared so much knowledge. We’ve gone on food tours before but this very much had the most food overall, so come hungry and don’t plan dinner that night!

Good food tour
Jenni was a very knowledgeable guide and a great ambassador for Athens. The food was plentiful, so go hungry. Jenni gave recommendations for other Greek specific foods to try while in Greece, which was great! Try to do this tour early in your trip so you can go back to the places you like.

The Perfect Night in Athens!
**The Perfect Introduction to Greece!**
This was the perfect way to get a taste of Greece! Since it was our first night in Athens, this food tour was an excellent introduction to the city's culture, history, and incredible cuisine.
Our guide, Giota (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly!), was phenomenal. She was friendly, engaging, and incredibly entertaining, sharing fascinating facts and local history throughout our walking tour. Her passion for Athens made the experience even more enjoyable.
Every food stop was delicious, authentic, and very filling. We left with full stomachs and a much greater appreciation for Greek food and culture.
If you're looking for a fun, informative, and delicious way to spend your first evening in Athens, I highly recommend this tour!
