Delicious Greek food - This food tour was a great introduction to Athens. Nicoletta was an amazing guide and we ate the so many delicious foods including bougatsa, Greek yoghurt, meze, gyros and loukamades to name a few. Highly recommend, and of course, go there hungry!

I had such a great time... - I had such a great time on this food tour! Every single stop was delicious. We tried a variety of local dishes and snacks, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and felt super authentic. Our guide was incredibly friendly and fun, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy. We never felt rushed; we had plenty of time at each location to really enjoy the food and take it all in. The group I was with was also a great vibe, which made it even more enjoyable. I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Athens, it was a highlight of my trip!

Athens Food Extravaganza - The tour guide was very knowledgeable, each food stop was specially selected by our guide in advance and each knew our guide personally. Food, food and more traditional Greek food. So much food we had to get to-go box for the last stop.
