Mary Kate was phenomenal! And the food was stellar. - Mary Kate was a fantastic guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The amount of food was also plenty enough, we left feeling full and happy. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an insider’s perspective on the local food scene in Athens. Cheers!

Wonderful tour, absolutely worth it! - Elena was a great tour guide and really easy to talk to and got everyone really comfortable with each other. Loved the food we got to eat, obviously, and the other places around town she pointed out that I think we probably wouldn't have seen! Also never felt rushed and had some great conversations with everyone.
Most of the food was fine for a vegetarian, I wouldn't bother if you were vegan honestly, honey, cream, cheese, yogurt, etc. Pretty sure you'd only have the coffee and olive oil tasting. Only change made for me (vegetarian) was the souvlaki without meat, I'm totally fine with a fry sandwich! Really enjoyed trying all the food and knowing what to look for during the rest of my trip!

A REAL culinary stroll with onions :) - We chose after having carefully looked at the proposed trails. We had a great time! A mastered and light culinary visit to Athens thanks to Nikos, a super super guide: educational, attentive, with multiple anecdotes and memorable tastings, like olive oil with a spoon and waiting for discussions with his small group. We recommend ++++

Great time and great food! - Really great tour! Our tour guide was Elena and she was wonderful, very fun to talk to and great putting everyone at ease with each other. She showed us a few random places in town we wouldn't have otherwise seen, in addition to the delicious food. Plenty of options for vegetarians, there was only one meal I had to change up (souvlaki just without the meat). It was a good amount of food to test out without stuffing yourself, but with the souvlaki as an actual meal. A very fun morning! Definitely recommend

See three different areas of Athens and sample the local delicacies - Elena was very knowledgeable about the food (and there was a lot of it) and its place in Greek life. It was great to see three different areas of Athens and try the local delicacies. There was so much food to try, definitely don’t need breakfast or lunch! Elena also shared some tips and hints to enjoy Athens. You will finish this tour with a full belly!
