Our guide Alexandra was incredible! We went to so many different places on the tour and it was definitely worth the cost. Alexandra was personable, kind, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Athens!

I had a great tour guide on this tour. There was so much to see and eat! Our guide was so passionate and she ensured we had the best experience. The food choices were excellent and she even convinced me to try coffee for the very first time in my life. We had some private spaces at some locations to enjoy the food away from the crowds, and that made it extra special.

Our guide, Adele, was fantastic. She explained all the different foods (and ouzo). This was an excellent way to explore Greek foods and cooking. As promised, there was more food than we could eat. Our final stop was for gyros street food. Adele provided to-go bags so we could eat it later. We had it for lunch the next day! Highly recommend this tour.

A fabulous way to explore Athens back alleys and markets on foot. We sampled plenty of great food at little local places you would never find on your own. This included mezze style eating in a little local Taverna which was delicious. Our guide Dimitria was fun, knowledgeable and gave great explanations about both the city and food. Highly recommended.
