Mary Lou was our tour guide and she did an amzing job! This tour let you dive into some tastings from different local places that gave a true experience of the Greek cuisine. Our tour guide also showed us some more of the Greece area and explained some of the culture. This was unexpected and an added bonus.
We are so glad you had such an amazing time diving into Greek cuisine and culture, Aaron! Providing those unexpected, extra insights into our beautiful local areas is exactly what we love to do. Thank you for sharing your experience and highlighting the wonderful local tastings. We hope to see you again soon for more discoveries!
We really enjoyed this food tour with Gari as our guide. It was just the two of us so we felt well taken care of and the discussion was really interesting and fun, combining the food, history, and culture of Athens. The quality of the food was excellent. I highly recommend this tour to do on day 1 or 2.
So happy you had such a personal and fun experience with Gari! Starting your Athens trip with food, history, and culture really is the best recipe.
We had a truly unforgettable experience with Greeking.me on our recent food tour in Athens. My wife and I absolutely loved it! From the very beginning, everything was organized perfectly. We visited several different places — each with its own charm and unique taste — and got to try a variety of authentic Greek dishes. I wish I could remember all the names, but each one was delicious and felt like a real taste of Greek tradition. One of the highlights was a charming local coffee shop, where we enjoyed not only fantastic Greek coffee but also a peaceful moment that made us feel like locals, not tourists. What really made the tour exceptional was our guide. She was truly amazing — friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Greek cuisine and culture. She created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, shared interesting stories about the food and the places we visited, and made sure we were always comfortable and engaged. Thank you, Greeking.me, for such a wonderful experience! It was a perfect mix of flavors, culture, and warm hospitality. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Greece and looking to explore the country through its food.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you felt like locals and enjoyed the tastes and stories of Greek tradition. Sending warm wishes to you both from Athens!
This food tour was a great sampling of Greek foods. Our guide Niki was fabulous! What a special day.
Thank you for your lovely review, Thomas! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the delicious tastes of Greece and had such a special day with Niki; she’s a real gem. Hope to see you again on your next visit!
This was one of the best things we've done. Our guide, Gari, was wonderful - so knowledgeable about Greek food, history, mythology, architecture, culture and politics. She set the tour at our pace and answered every question thoroughly. She was also very kind and warm - a perfect welcome to Greece! We did this the second day of a 2 week trip and it set us up perfectly for what to expect for the rest of our stay. She even let us know what to expect in Mykonos, Santorini and Crete. 100% recommend!
We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your tour with Gari, Connie! Her depth of knowledge and warm personality really shine, and we’re so happy she set the tone for the rest of your trip. Thanks for the glowing recommendation!
Niki was our guide and she was fantastic. She knew everything about the food and answered all of our questions. The tasting were numerous and plentiful. We learned so much about Greek food that we didn’t know and will change the way we cook at home.
Thank you, Gerald, for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that our guide provided such an enriching and enjoyable food tour experience for you. We hope your time cooking at home is filled with Greek-inspired flavors, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another delicious adventure in the future!

It’s fantastic that it was the first thing you did upon arriving in Greece and that it helped you get your bearings while enjoying great company! We appreciate your lovely feedback and hope to see you again soon!
The food trip with Manolis was absolutely fantastic! First of all, as this is a food tasting tour, it’s important to note that the food was absolutely amazing with a wide variety of sweet and savory. Manolis is super informative and even though it was a food tour he gave us so much information about the historical monuments along the way and recommended more places to visit. He also recommended a list of food places to try on our own time. Don’t eat breakfast before this tour as the portions are great and very filling!
Thank you for your kind words, Youhanna! We're delighted you had an amazing time with our guide on the tour. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the variety of sweet and savory foods and appreciated the historical insights along the way. We hope your next adventure with us will be just as satisfying!
We met with Maria in the square. Maria was extremely welcoming and friendly and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. Our tour to the coffee shops and specialty halva dishes in a plant based diner was the best halva we have ever had. At all times Maria explained the Greek culture and the people in the area. The meat, fish markets were very interesting and our dishes tried along the way to lunch and her experiences and explanations were very helpful. Lunch in a local eatery was a highlight as it was where the locals eat and not a touristy restaurant. When we were unable remember our Ship Docking gate… Maria calmly made a call and sorted it all out and then took us to a Greek yogurt Speciality stop and then to our Taxi. Thank you Maria for making our stop in Athens the most special ever !! You were terrific
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us, Jonathan! We’re delighted our guide made your tour memorable with her welcoming approach and knowledge of Greek culture. We’re so glad she was able to assist you with your travel needs as well. We hope your time in Athens remains a cherished memory, and we’d love to welcome you back again someday!

Thank you, Janelle, for your enthusiastic review! We're so happy to hear you loved the tour and enjoyed the delicious bites along the way. It's wonderful to know that our guide made the experience so memorable. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
