This food tour was the perfect way to start our time in Athens. Our guide was wonderful. I didn’t get the proper spelling of her name, but Konstantina was very knowledgeable about the areas we walked through and she took us to some great spots off the beaten path. She was ever-engaging and kept us talking with stories and questions alike. The food and drink sampled was a huge variety and there’s something for everyone throughout the tour. The key is to at least taste and try something new; some of the best of Athens!

Nikki was a super guide - knowledgeable, fun and interesting. We went from traditional Greek pies for breakfast, to stews for lunch, ending with Greek coffee and desserts. With many yummy items in between. My tummy was full for the rest of the day! Of all the food tours we've been on, this one is right up there with the best. We all had a wonderful time.

This was so fun! Mini was a fantastic guide with lots of interesting tidbits along the way. She pointed out sites and the reason each type of food was selected - great quality. She was a fun and accommodating person to be around as well. I highly recommend this company and will seek her out for future tours.

Constantina was amazing! So personable, friendly and knowledgeable. The food we had was great, from historic places and huge portions. We didn’t eat everything from any of the places we visited. They definitely didn’t want you to leave without being full! Highly recommended!

Come hungry. We made the mistake of having breakfast before the tour. It included at least 7 stops. Loved the cheese shop since it was made with sheep or goats milk, no cows milk. We moved onto some wine and beef/pork salami then lunch at a restaurant inside the farmers market. The last stop coffee with baklava and orange 🍊 cake, delicious. Our guide was so enjoyable. Wish we had time to do the night food tour with her.

A fantastic tour through Athens with a real, very friendly Greek woman! We discovered a lot of things that you would just pass by as a tourist. The stops were well chosen and the food was delicious. Greek cuisine is incredibly varied. As there were only two of us in the booked "small group", we were able to pack something for the next breakfast. Niki led us through the entertaining tour with expertise and great enthusiasm.

The tour was a fun mix of tasting and learning about the food of Greece and Athens and the history behind it all! The guide was very accommodating to my allergy and ensured that all the food I ate was safe. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone, including people with allergies or food restrictions.

Margarita was our lovely guide throughout the morning. We learned a lot about Greek foods and got to taste so many of them! I especially liked the authentic rustic Greek restaurant, as we would never have found that on our own. It was a great morning. It was so nice to just have 8 of us. We enjoyed getting to know each other as we walked and as we ate.
