Take this trip - Agathi was delightful - the food and the small group atmosphere made this trip special. Her personal stories were so much fun and she was so nice to make sure a perticular food allergy was covered.
Definitely take this trip !!

Best Meal of our Entire Time in Greece! - We had a lovely (and delicious) time walking around and tasting the delights of Athens with Agatha, our tour guide. She was so kind and a pleasure to chat with. She was extremely knowledgeable not only about cuisine, but also about the area and its history. She even gave us some great recommendations for our travel to Crete! This tour is a great way to ensure you get a taste of Athens local favorites. I had my favorite meal of our whole trip on the tour, Gemista, and will be spending the next few weeks trying my best to recreate it a home. Thanks so much, Eureka Athens and especially Agatha!

Agatha all things Greek - The tour exceeded our expectations. Agatha gave us a personalized experience. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions concerning Greece, Athens and the other cities we planned to visit during our travels in Greece. Her choice of foods, shops and venues was representative of the local culture and cuisine. Being a native of Greece she also shared numerous stories and personal experiences of her life in the country from childhood to adulthood, which helped us to relate to the culture.

Varied, tasty and insightful food tour - We had an great time on our food tour. Agatha was a wonderful and friendly guide, giving us lots of information not just on the food we were eating but on other aspects of the Greek culture. We took the tour at the start of our trip and it's a great way to get introduced to Athens. We definitely recommend not eating anything beforehand, as you will be eating a lot on this tour! Overall we particularly enjoyed the variety of food, the fact that there was a mix of both quick bites and chances to sit down and chatting with our guide Agatha.

Food and Fun - What a great way to spend an evening as a solo traveler. Eleni was very nice and brought us to some amazing places. It was fun to experience a lot of areas, food and atmosphere. It was good food. The kebab at the end was so good. The spinach pie was delicious. I liked the small group and it was fun to learn about Greek cuisine. I would have never found these places. Thank you!

Amazing small group food tour - Amazing small group tour with Eleni. She gave us options for food tastings. She gave us a glimpse of life in Athens while patiently answering all of our Questions. This was by far the most personal of all 13 of our tours this trip. I would highly recommend this tour especially with Eleni as your guide.
