Great introduction to Greek food! - Great experience! Anna was excellent. They are serious when they say don't eat ahead of time, so much food! Be advised it is a lot of walking at a leisurely pace and only 3 stops are sit down. We learned so much! Highly recommend.

Delicious and Fun way to experience Athens - This was an excellent way to spend the afternoon walking around Athens with a local sampling delicious Greek food. Our guide, Demetria, was particularly fantastic. She customized the tour by choosing her own spots and we never saw another walking tour group (and there are many). Demetria also pointed out relevant Greek historical sites along the way. She has a vast knowledge of food and Greek culture and spoke perfect English. We were SO full at the end of the tour we skipped dinner. I strongly recommend this walking tour.

A Must Tour When Visiting Athens! - Our Athens Food Tour guide was Nicolette. SHE IS THE BEST! Nicholette is the most charming, funny and very knowledgeable hostess. Starting with Greece’s history and connection to its fertile land and rich soil, Greece produces the most sumptuous wines, oils, yogurts, cheeses and honeys. Nicholette chose both traditional and current restaurants for our tour, infusing old classic dishes to newer fresh flavors. Leading us through the streets of Athens, she showed us the hidden treasures, delectable nuggets, and even the pungent meat and fish market. Although not the most fragrant part of the tour, she felt it was important to show Greek’s pedestrian way of life. This tour was the perfect way for any traveler to get acquainted to the local foods. I highly recommended this tour.
