We did the private Athens food tour PRV-10 with Mirina. I was a little concerned since we had been in Greece for 2 weeks already and had eaten a lot of different foods so didn't know if this would be a waste of time and repeat of our experiences already. Happily it turned out to be a very nice experience. Mirina did a great job hitting unique places within the city and finding some great places to eat. We hit the Greek Donut shop (they are fantastic, but you can't get them until after 10 am which was annoying since we wanted them for breakfast), a phylogenetic pastry shop, several local stores with olives, spices and dried meats, finished off with a very nice gyro. Everyone in our group enjoyed the outing and felt like it was a genuine local experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it was a great chance to see areas of Athens we may not have visited, and the variety of food was perfect. Lucia was such a wonderful guide! Extremely knowledgable about the area and its history, as well as catering different dietary needs. Would highly recommend!

We loved this tour - Stella was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly and helpful and shared great information. The food selections were great, too. The only thing we would change/did not love was that some food items were shared - people using hands or utensils in the same container. We would have preferred food to be separated at least by couple, especially in this semi post-Covid era. The shared food freaked us out a bit.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Marina was an excellent guide. She had so much information to share about life in Athens - the foods, the places where the locals go, and the off-the-beaten-path places to find the best spices, meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables. Anyone who is interested in the local culture of Athens and the central role played by food and times spent eating together, should take this tour.

My 2 teenagers and I loved this tour! Eva/Ava was the best tour guide we had in our 15 days in all of Greece. She was so friendly and informative, she was attentive to our needs, made sure we were all together and taken care of. Definitely recommend this tour!

We did this tour and it really exceeded our expectations. We had a great time, learned about all sorts of Greek cuisine and ingredients, and got to see parts of the city that we may not have otherwise. We may have tasted a beverage or two, also. ? Eva was our guide, and she did a fantastic job. We highly recommend this tour.

Having a good guide makes a good tour and Marina was a great guide. Not only did we eat authentic and delicious food, we saw local Athens neighborhoods and learned some of the background of the food and culture of Athens. It was a great tour!
