Book this food walking cultural tour! Ask for John! - This was a fantastic food tour. We learned so much from our knowledgable guide John regarding Athen’s history, culture, different eras and how these impacted the wonderful authentic food we enjoyed. It was a fun filled stroll and one of our favorite tours among many great tours we enjoyed on a 2 week European vacation. Request John! He is the perfect blend of deep knowledge, and his presentation of facts is interesting and memorable, yet not overwhelming. We enjoyed being guided through the streets of central Athens, the food markets and Plako area with a relaxed authentic Athenian who spoke perfect English. John easily picked up on our unstated interests and tailored the tour to fit both our interests and appetites! The food was superb and the guide was even better!

Exceeded our expectations! - Our guide “John” exceeded our expectations for this private food tour. He was so well versed and had a love of the history of Greece and of Athens. He was personally familiar with all of our tour stops taking us to his favorite places. He had us try things we would have never known to order on our own. Everything we tried was delicious and of high quality. Thank you John for a memorable tour in Athens!

So much delicious food! - Antonia was a wonderful tour guide who showed us neighborhoods and cafes we would have missed on our own. She not only led us on a Greek feast through the streets of Athens, but she also gave us historical and cultural highlights that added to our experience. Do not eat anything before this tour! There is so much food. From the fried cheese in phyllo to the Greek doughnuts drizzled with honey and the savory gyros, you will be glad you have to walk between stops. We ended our evening with a large assortment of traditional dishes at a cafe in the historic Plaka district. What a delicious way to experience Athens!

Tasty & Entertaining - We had a large group (7 of us) and Bianca really took us on a great walking and tasting tour of some of the best spots in Monastiraki. Keeping five kids entertained for four hours is no small accomplishment. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to get a feel for the city's restaurant scene.
