Phenomenal Greek food tour - don’t miss this! - We so loved our three-hour food tour with Mike, who took us in and out of shops and markets where Athenians shop. We got to taste so many delicious things and learned so much much about Greek food. Totally recommend this!

Superb! - A fantastic experience!! Arela (if I remember the spelling correctly…) was so friendly, charismatic and knowledgeable. We were a group of 5 and she made sure to engage with everyone and the whole experience felt great. She even gave us recommendations for various different shops (restaurants, souvenirs etc.) The food was excellent too, and we went through different places that would’ve taken me double the time to go through alone. I was so full at the end but in a good way! So much good food. I’ll definitely have to go back.

Fantastic Food Tour - Arela was so informative and very nice. The tour was fantastic. I loved that they advertised there are vegetarian options, that's why I picked this tour. You walk through the meat and fish market but there's the option to skip that part if you want. There were so many different delicious things to try and everything was spaced out perfectly. The drinks were just as awesome as the food. We tried honey, olive oil, olives, spices, nuts on the walk and sat down for food at two different places.

Fun and informative experience. - I had an amazing time on this food tour. Everything was perfectly proportioned and perfectly timed so that you could try everything without feeling too full (okay at the end I was pushing it.) Our tour guide was charming, full of wonderful anecdotes and facts, and she seemed to know everybody in all of the markets, which made me feel like I was walking around a small town instead of a big city. All of the food was great, it was really interesting to do an olive oil tasting, and learn more about how it's produced, same with the honey tasting. I wanted a tour that didn't focus too much on sweet things and bakery items, and although there were a few sweet things on this tour it was mostly "real" food and not dessert food. I really cannot say enough nice things about the tour. I would highly recommend it.

Girls Trip to Greece - Our tour was amazing! Mike was a fantastic guide. He took us through so many different areas explaining each one. Telling us about the history as well as the processes of each food we tried. We learned many Greek words along the way and couldn’t have been happier with the experience!! Thanks Mike for making our first trip to Greece an outstanding one😊

Genial! - Genial! I travel a lot and have already done a food tour in several places. But so qualitative, quantitative :-) and informative has not been a tour yet. Big compliment to Alessa, who is bubbling with enthusiasm despite many repetitive tours and treats all people very nicely. Be sure to include it in your city trip!
