Gotta try this tour - The tour guide, Penelope, was amazing. She gave good history of Athens, showed us around different parts of Athens. The food she recommended were amazing that we went back the next day to taste a few of her other recommendations and they were just as good! Definitely recommend

Local specialties & history lessons - It was a great dive into Greek culture, including some of the oldest restaurants, family companies etc. I think the point is more to indeed give a _taste_ of local specialties (from all over Greece) and some history lessons along the way. Our guide, Dimitri(s?) was the most friendly guy, who was admirably proud of his culture with an extensive knowledge of it. The tour included a part with a liquor distillery and a part with some special meats and cheeses, so it might not be as vegan or "sober" friendly, but nothing will be forced down your throat anyway.

A must do tour to see some of Athens. - Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He provided insight into Athens history and took us to places that locals visit. The food choices were excellent and serving sizes great. In addition, the staff at the restaurants were very welcoming. We also stopped in a honey store (sorry! can’t remember the name) and it was so interesting and again- fabulous shop owners! Keep that stop on this tour for sure. Highly recommend this tour-

Best Athens Food Tour! - We had a blast with our group and Pascal. We visited so many great eateries, I was stuffed after the 2nd stop so pace yourself. I promised you won’t leave hungry. Pascal knew so much about the culture and history of Athens, highly recommend this! Worth every penny!!

First night in Athens - Saffi was amazing, but the other people who were on the tour also made it so much fun. We were very full at the end of the tour. Really great start to our stay in Athens.

Less explanation, more tasting please - Our tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable. It just wasn’t what I was expecting. There was more talking and lengthy explanations and less eating tasting stops. It was 13:30 pm when we met and people were hungry as they had skipped lunch, and it took us a while to get to our first tasting destination. Also I could have lived without the tour of the seafood and meat market - too unclean and gory for a food tasting tour.
