Incredible experience - INCREDIBLE! Julia and Dimitris were next level!!! We had a group of 21…and the entire experience went without incident. Our flight was later than they typically start, they modified the experience for us. Food was amazing. Walking tour was super informative…but not boring. Each stop, the store employees shared specifics about their products and gave generous samples. We loved the wine and olive oil experience. The dinner was complete with a demonstration of how to make tzatziki. We definitely ate our money’s worth. We felt as if we had an authentic experience…perfectly complimented our historical tour of acropolis area. Make sure to book this experience-truly one of a kind!!! They know how to run a business and do it very well!

Epic food tour - When we travel, we love to take food tours to learn about local food and culture. This was HANDS DOWN the best food tour we have experienced. I came to Athens a few months ago on a girls' trip, and did the evening/dinner version of this tour. This time, with my husband and another couple, we booked the afternoon tour. Our guide, Julia, was knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to understand. She planned a wide variety of tastings and explained source, preparation, and quality of ingredients; and she included personal stories about her connection with the foods we sampled. The final stop was a 4 course lunch with wine/beer or soft drinks in a restaurant with a view of the Acropolis. So much food! So much fun! I would do this one again.

Definitely worth it! - This tour was a great introduction to Greek food. It was so nice to have a local guide to explain not only the dishes but also the culture. There was a good variety of food and drinks, as well as beautiful sites to see along the way. One of my favorites were the excellent pork skewers. They were eaten so quickly, I didn’t get a good photo. Would definitely recommend!
