This was the second food tour that I did in Athens. We enjoyed the variety of food and in fact returned to one of the restaurants to have the best souvlaki we have ever eaten the very next day. If we had more time we would have gone for a third . It was a lot of food to eat during the tour. By the end we were just nibbling because we were so full. The guide however was a bit unkept and vaped continuously . Not what I would expect from a professional guide.
It is a great way to experience a number of different types of Greek food and hear some Greek history. Our guide, Manos, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. No need to have dinner plans. Our entire group of 8 was plenty full after the tour.
Voula was very friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable, and a great tour guide. We had a variety of different foods and she explained why and when the Greek people enjoy each meal. I highly, highly recommend Voula. Such a wonderful person and host.
We had a fantastic experience with Yanni! He was a great tour guide and customized the tour based on our interests. Since we mentioned we wanted to see a beautiful Greek Orthodox church, he even took us to the oldest Greek Orthodox church in Athens, which was a highlight. We enjoyed six delicious tastings and stopped at several local shops along the way, making the experience feel authentic and personal. Highly recommend this tour!
Yanni took us on an incredible gastro-tour of Athens with the unfettered enthusiasm of one who truly loves his city...and its food! We were plied with way more than 10 traditional Athenian tastings and even convinced to try a dish or two that were definitely outside our norm. If a place was closed due to the Holiday, he quickly adapted and found another option. We were treated with some great views, great historical insight, and a delicious experience. Yanni wasn't just a tour guide...he became family for the morning!
Great food. Gloria was a great knowledgeable guide. She knew so much about the foods of Greece. She also did not take us to places she realized we wouldn’t enjoy
What a fantastic way to discover the Athens food scene. Voula was the perfect host and ensured that we were able to experience more food than we could possibly imagine. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves to see a new city through food.
Dmitri was terrific. He was personable, knowledgeable about the food, the history or Athens and the architecture of the city. Felt like we were touring with a friend. Totally enjoyed all the food and drink experiences he shared with us (and also enjoyed meeting the merchants we visited as well). Fabulous way to spend a few hours - highly recommend.
We had a great tour with Dimitri! He was super knowledgeable and customized our food tour to meet our dietary needs! We got to try a lot of great food and learned a lot of history as well! Definitely would recommend!
Wonderful food tour. Dionysis was a great tour guide. Wonderful food and a guide that have us a great history talk on Athens. Highly recommend. Bring your appetite!
