A must do experience! - From start to finish, this tour is a true celebration of Greek cuisine, culture, and hospitality. It’s not just about tasting food, it’s about immersing yourself in the heart of Athens and discovering its culinary soul. Our guide, Christina was incredible knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about Greek food and history. She guided us through the bustling streets, introducing us to hidden gems and local favorites that we would have never found on our own. Every stop was carefully selected, and each dish was a delicious revelation. From crispy, tender souvlaki to the freshest Greek cheeses, and unforgettable pies like spanakopita and bougatsa with custard cream, every bite was an explosion of flavors. What made this tour so special was how personal it felt. Our guide shared fascinating stories behind the dishes, the people who made them, and the cultural significance of each. It was clear that this wasn’t just another tour it was a labor of love. The group size was perfect, and we were able to connect with fellow food lovers while discovering more about the Athenian food scene. The combination of food, history, and local insights made for an unforgettable experience. By the end of the tour, I felt like I had truly explored Athens through its vibrant flavors. The tour goes beyond just tasting food it’s a cultural journey. You’ll walk through vibrant neighborhoods, meet passionate shop owners, and uncover the unique history of Athens through its culinary treasures. Every stop feels like a secret reveal, where you discover something new and delicious.

An authentic taste of Athens! - The duration and the walking distances of the tour are very relaxed in a pace which does not make you feel rushed. I am on holidays and I would hate being in crowded places and having to run from the one stop to the other (it has happened to me in the past). Thanx to our guide Christina who treated me as an old friend I felt included in the group even if I am a solo traveler. I left with my heart and stomach full. The food and the drinks very of great quality and I am glad I could taste real Greek food prepared by locals who own the cute small businesses we visited. Everything was lovely and the hidden cafe next to the old record store, which is owned by a lovely mother and her daughters, stole my heart.

The highlight of our trip - The highlight of our trip! We have done several food tours with Eating Europe and the Athenian was another amazing experience. Sophia, our lovely guide, took us around small businesses away from tourist traps and we were able to explore authentic Greek food and drinks. It is a hands on experience and not another tour with just food and information. I cannot recommend it enough!

Such a fun Food Tour experience, with hands-on souvlaki making and the best guide ever, Barbara! - A few days ago, some friends from Japan visited me and I was looking for something fun that would include trying some of the iconic Greek dishes and delicacies. The Athens food tour by Eating Europe by far surpassed our expectations!! Barbara was our guide and did her best to make it such a memorable experience! She did not focus only on the background information or the stories around the food we tried, but she shared her personal memories and experiences as a Greek! The hands-on part of the tour was our favourite! We had the chance to make our own souvlaki, my friends loved it and Barbara was helpful and patient! We also learned to make the ancient Greek version of a cheesecake and pair other types of cheese with olive oil, honey, cold cuts and wine. Thank you for a great food tour!

Very helpful evening stroll. - This tour is great to get you off on the right foot. It helps to understanding what is what when eating and drinking in Athens. From coffee to wine, snacks to desserts, and quick food to hearty meals, it’s all there. Our guide, Kristina was well educated, full of information and a lovely soul.

Loved the experience - I absolutely loved my experience with Vasso! The tour was delightful, filled with insightful conversations about food, culture, and traditions. The only suggestion for improvement would be to provide non-alcoholic beverage alternatives. We paid the full price, but we weren't offered substitute drinks. Having some traditional non-alcoholic options would make the experience more inclusive and enjoyable for everyone. :)
