Description
Get a real taste of Athens strolling around the central neighborhoods which are scattered with ruins and monuments. Athens is also a very walkable and modern city but when leaving the main roads and walkways you may find yourself in a maze of side streets.
There are plenty of reasons to travel to Athens but the best, and perhaps most important, is to try the incredible food. Food in Greece is so much a part of our culture. It literally is a culture of its own. And I am going to show you how locals eat, by way of my favorite eateries.
We will visit the Greek Gastronomy Museum, have traditional Greek coffee (made the old fashion way) and try an ancient sweet dating back to the original Olympic games just to name a few major stops on this scrumptious tour. Your taste buds will be jumping for joy. So please eat lightly before hand so you can take it all in.

Lovely guide, memorable experience.
We recently enjoyed a culinary tour in Athens, and Angela made the day outstanding. She was warm, knowledgeable, and shared great local insight throughout the experience. Even though a few planned stops were closed because it was Sunday, she adjusted the itinerary effortlessly and kept everything fun and engaging.
We loved the food stands she introduced us to, the easy conversation, and the chance to explore excellent local shopping areas — including spots we never would have discovered on our own.A genuinely memorable and authentic experience. Highly recommended.
Operator response

Do the Athens food tour with Angela!
Wonderful time spent with tour guide Angela walking through the streets of central Athens while tasting various Greek foods and going to a traditional Greek coffee house. Also visited the fish, meat, and produce markets.Stopped to rest in the court yard of an 11th Century Byzantine church 🙂

Food tour of Athens
Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. She took us to places we wouldn't have dreamed of going to. She wasn't just knowledgeable about the food,but Athens in general. Nothing was too much trouble.

A very pleasant tour by a superb guide with many tastes and experiences.
The guide Elias was absolutely fantastic!
He had the ability to see everyone in the group and a star at learning everyone's names.
The tour was personal and the guide took us to places that for him are personal.
The food and drink was good and showed some examples of Greek gastronomy.
Recommend the tour with joy and praise!
