Old-School Athens Food Tour

You will see a few reviews on the same account but I assure you everyone had a grand and lovely experience! And it seemed like Viator wasn't letting my friends leave reviews since I bought all the tickets on this account. Which is not at all the fault of our lovely guide Leftheria. Leftheria was very knowledgeable on the history of Athens. I have never been on a food tour before and The Old Athens Food Tour being my first was such a gift! I am super grateful to have learned so much from someone so personable and kind. Being my first time in Athens, I of course had no knowledge of the quaint cafes, lovely pastries and some of the best food joints in town. Even my pals who frequent Athens had no idea these places were there. 3 hours didn't feel like enough time honestly. I would absolutely pay to take some of my family and other friends on this tour. I also dream of the food and would 100% go again. And a bonus, Leftheria will even treat you to a coffee ground reading. It was such a treat to learn about history and history was not my favorite subject! If you find yourself in Athens and you're hungry...This is THE ultimate food tour. -Aleana Williams -Jeannie Vandenberg's review Leftheria was the tour guide. Here is my review: The food tour was wonderful!! It was easy to find the meeting spot. We made many stops to taste the bites of Athens. We also learned Athens and Greek history as it relates to the food, particularly in regards to the areas we visited. The food descriptions and preparation information was quite informative. All questions were answered. My special diet was well honored. Each stop painted a portion of the entire Athens food arena. The first stop was coffee and I was shocked at how much fun the whole group had and how much we learned. This set the theme for the entire tour. Every stop brought new delights for us. I highly recommend this tour for the guide's extreme warm personality, the wonderful food, and all the information provided. -Ole Skotvold's review This old school Athens food tour was a 3 hour guided food tour of some of Athens long time coffee, bakeries and food stops that are mixed in with everything Athens has to offer. We may have walked past these restaurants on our own, not knowing the best they had to offer. A link to follow on maps provides the location to meet up with guide, Leftheria for the walking tour covering 5 or 6 stops. Leftheria provided interesting points along the way and a brief history of the shops visited. We are normally conservative when eating out. just Greek salad and Gyros; identifiable by pictures, so I was delighted to be introduced to items we would never go out on a limb to order, everything was explained in English which was a big help. I do have a favorite item which I took a picture of, then in photo details I can locate where the bakery was to lead me back to it. Another favorite stop because I didn't expect it, was little dough balls deep fried with a sweet surprise inside. All in all, it was a rewarding experience and I highly recommend this tour.
