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

Lovely food tour Athens with Christina - Christina was in touch before we arrived in Athens and that was reassuring for a traveller from another country. We had a lovely walking tour of her area with visits to some authentic Greek food places. Christina kept us enthralled with stories of each road, restaurant and generally was very nice. We Highly Recommend a tour with Christina and will definitely engage her when next in Athens. Genuine and sweet person was the added bonus. A Must do when in Athens.
