Amazing tour- and tour guide! - This tour around Athens was incredible! Anna met us at our hotel and took us to so many areas of Athens that we would never have found ourselves. She is an amazing guide- and learned so much about Greek food, and Greek culture. It was our favorite tour on our 14 day trip to Greece! This is a MUST DO!!

A wonderful entry point to discover Greece 🇬🇷🍇 - We started our stay in Greece with the gourmet excursion with Polina, and it was the best decision to make! Polina is a passionate, generous and bubbly guide, who took us on a true culinary and cultural journey. Each stop was a discovery: tasty local products, passionate artisans, captivating stories and above all... valuable tips for the rest of the trip (where to eat, what to taste, how to avoid tourist traps...). It’s not just a simple tasting, it’s an authentic immersion in Greek culture through its gastronomy. 👉 We highly recommend doing this excursion as soon as you arrive! It gives landmarks, good addresses, and especially a nice dose of good humor to start your stay well. Thank you Polina for this moment full of flavors and sharing 💙

Delightful, informative...and yummy! - I can't say enough positive things about this tour. Anna is so welcoming, knowledgeable and just happy. I've never met someone who knows so much about olives....and we just scratched the surface! Haha. She and her partner George have built relationships with all the small vendors, who clearly adore her and are equally welcoming. The stops were a nice mix of sweet and savory, and along the way I learned about the history of this part of Athens as well as contemporary eating and drinking culture. If I had more time in Athens I definitely would have done the evening tour as well. Ali fora! (Another time!)

During the tour, you’ll discover beautiful places, enjoy delicious local delicacies, and learn historical facts that go beyond the usual – all wonderfully connected to the places we’re visiting in that moment. Their team also enhances the experience with inspiring workshops along the way, making the whole event truly memorable.

Charming culinary tour of Athens - Anna showed us many interesting grocery stores and guided us through new exciting quarters. We received historical and culinary background information and were allowed to taste fine appetizers everywhere. We really enjoyed it.
