Excellent Food Tour with authentic Greek Food - We had such a wonderful time! Yiota was an excellent guide. She introduced us to many delicious Greek delights. By the end of the evening we were happy and full. Don't eat first as you will want to try every dish! Our guide also regaled us with many stories of Greek culture and history. It was a fantastic evening and the perfect way to begin our stay in Athens. Thank you Yiota for a wonderful evening! We definitely recommend this tour 💯

Excellent tour - What an excellent tour. Our guide took us to four great places and spent a great deal of time discussing the history of Athens Greece and the food. I think her name was Gioda and but she was excellent. We met at the fountain in Syntagma square. She gave us a quick lay of the land and then we were off. We visited a market for meats and cheeses, then a restaurant for several dishes including giant beans (delicious) and we ended at a place with an excellent baklava. The tour lasted 3 hours and was worth every minute.

This food tour is a must! - This food tour was incredible. I highly recommend it. It was a great way of tasting a bunch of local foods I would have otherwise not tried. We even went back to some of the restaurants afterwards during our trip. It was all at a great pace and we didn’t feel rushed. LOTS of food so definitely come hungry! I was extremely full at the end of the night myself haha.
