Amazing - Tour guide (Dorela) was fantastic. Amazing personality and knowledge. There was a lot of food, so definitely take it seriously if you get a message to avoid eating 3 hours before the tour, you will need the tummy space. It was delicious food with history.

Great overview of Greek cuisine - Excellent tour! Well-paced with the food selections, and all very local and interesting. Out guide Kathrine did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a good overview of Greek food traditions + what to order when you go out on your own :)

Wow!! So glad we did this tour!! - We had one full day in Athens and we are so glad we did this tour! Our guide, Tonia, was amazing! She was fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about food and Athens. The food was all so delicious! We tried dishes and local goodies that we simply never would have if we had been on our own. This is one of the best tours I've ever done-because of our guide and quality of food. Thanks Tonia, for making our day so enjoyable!!

Fun and filling. - LOTS of FOOD.... Fun. We were very jet lagged after having just flown in, and still had a delicous and fun time. Seriously don't eat before this and probably after. Our guide was fabulous. We visited local shops, restaurants, a local market,had a greek coffee, and we saw several murals. Bring cash for tip.

BEST OF THE BEST! - We had Maro as our tour guide and she was OUTSTANDING along with the food tour ! The places we visited and the food we tried were all amazing . I would seriously go back and do this again —I can understand why they are considered the best of the best recognition on TA. From. The first bakery —delicious to real roasted Greek coffee. To the Mezzanine ( appetizers ) my favorite ! To dessert and main course. —each stop was better than the next . I do food tours all over And I can honestly say this is in the top 2. The only negative or constructive criticism I could give is that most all food tours limit the people to 6-10 and this one was at. 14 which limited the time it took for everyone..but maybe someone was sick and they had to take extra as there were several tours going at once. Thank you Maro and ATHENS WALKS ! I’ll be back!

A fun tour with authentic tastings - This was a fun experience. I am actually Greek American so I am familiar with Greek food and I was on the tour with a friend from New York who came to Greece for the first time and booked the tour for us. All the places we went and food we tasted truly represented authentic highlights of Greek cuisine, prepared the right way. Nikoleta was a very energetic and entertaining guide. We had a great time.

Excellent tour, food and host - Nasos - We had an excellent private tour hosted by the brilliant Nasos who is knowledgeable about Greek food and many other things. He took us to some excellent places to eat and provided us with a wide range of Greek food items spanning breakfast through lunch and dinner - along with some wine and ouzo as well. Whether as a group or private, this tour is excellent but the private option gives you a more focused and relaxed experience IMO. The food and restaurants were great and Nasos's hosting was second to none. Definitely do not eat beforehand as the food is plentiful.
