Conner Experience with Valentini, so much Fun! - This was an awesome experience, we loved the time with Valentini and she couldn't be more fun to hang out with. She knows her stuff, is friendly, engaging and has just the right amount of conversation to keep the day fun and not overwhelming. We had all ages and everyone enjoyed the day with her, Chris Conner, Alaina Conner, Ashton Conner, Jameson Conner, Debbie Westray and Jimmy Westray all give rave reviews - Highly recommend this.

Cheese pies to Baklava and Much More - Valentini led us on a private Greek food tour. She was warm, very personable, and extremely informative about the food in Greece. Her command of English was impressive. She met us at our hotel. It was a lot of fun and everything was delicious. She escorted us to Greek spots that tourists would never find on their own. We felt like Valentini was more than a guide; she became our friend by the end of the tour.

Best Food Tour and Guide!! - We had a fabulous tour last week with Valentini, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the very first moment we met her, we felt an instant connection!! Valentini was not only knowledgeable and engaging, but also warm, kind, and full of energy. She brought each place we visited to life with her stories, insights, and personal touches. We felt cared for every step of the way, and her passion for what she does made the tour even more special. We highly enough recommend the Athens Bites Tours and if you can make a request for a guide make sure to request Valentini!! Thank you, Valentini, for such a memorable and heartwarming experience! Your friends from Georgia, USA!!!!

Valentini is the best - Valentini knocked it out of the park! Every stop was so well curated and described— the history of the food, the ingredients, and how to make it. We loved the food, the stroll through the neighborhoods with history and descriptions. She was so warm, friendly, and personable. I wish we could do it all over again!
