Worth every penny! - This was such an immersive food tour into a different part of Athens that is vibrant and unique. Kristina was an amazing host, who clearly loves her city and the history surrounding it. We were treated to all of her favourite spots - all of which were 10/10 - where feasted on items we had never tried, like moussaka and briami, as well as more familiar dishes, like gyros/souvlaki. By the time we got to dessert, I could have rolled down the Acropolis hill. It felt like excellent value for the cost and that we were in no rush for it to finish. Thank you so much for such a fun experience. Would happily recommend.

An Absolute Unforgettable Taste of Athens! - This food tour in Athens was an absolute highlight, and our guide, Vasso, made it truly unforgettable! Her infectious energy and deep knowledge of Greek cuisine led us to incredible local spots we'd never have found ourselves, where we savored a delicious variety of authentic dishes. Vasso's passion for sharing her city's culinary treasures, combined with her warm and engaging personality, made the experience feel like exploring with a friend. If you want a genuine taste of Athens and a fun, insightful adventure, this tour is a must-do, and having Vasso as your guide elevates it to an exceptional level. Highly recommended!

What a Tasty Tour It Was - It was an extraordinary experience. The Koukaki area, which I am already familiar with, is much more valuable for food enthusiasts compared to more touristy locations like Plaka. Accompanied by Katerina, who guided me throughout the tour, I enjoyed delicious food and gained valuable insights. I didn't even notice how quickly time passed. The experience was fun, satisfying, and informative. There's truly nothing like getting to know a city through its food culture. I can assure you that this tour will exceed your expectations. I definitely recommend it.

A must do! Whenever in Athens - A great local experience walking around, stopping at some nice bars with great food and even better company. The last part of the trip, the gelato, was indeed the perfect icing on the cake. A great host & an equally amazing tour
