A fabulous tour! We highly recommend! - This tour is a great way to sample authentic Greek food, and learn about the history and culture of the city. Our guide was amazing. She answered all our questions about the area, shared what to see based on our interests and was kind enough to give us the names and spellings of all the foods we tried. We started with authentic Greek coffee (and homemade lemonade for those who don’t drink it), along with Mizithropitakia, a fluffy, warm pastry with cheese inside. From there, we sampled pork and chicken skewers. Next, we ventured to a bakery and enjoyed a spinach pie, another delicious appetizer. Next, was dinner where we shared numerous homemade dishes, from fried zucchini to sausage to a meat in avgolemono (lemon and egg white broth), which was my favorite. We topped it off with a glass of Greek house wine. The night ended with a shot of warm liqueur (portokalopita) made from the byproduct of wine, cinnamon and something else I don’t remember. It was so smooth. This was in tandem with a dessert that was magnificent. I can’t stress enough how great our guide was. She made the tour so worth it! It was great to share the experience with her. We highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone.

Athens - the real deal - This tour takes you off the beaten track to the neighbourhood of Pantrati. The tour starts near the Panathenaic Stadium and you are treated to real Greek coffee, delectable delights, a real Greek mamma dinner with wine and desserts, and digestive at other venues. Niko or Nikolas our guide has a very thorough knowledge not only of history but the neighborhood and what makes Greek cuisine special. The groups are limited to smaller groups which makes it an intimate experience. Highly recommend.

Savoring Pagrati - The food tour in Pagrati was a fantastic experience! This hidden gem of a neighborhood offered delicious homemade Greek dishes, but what really made it special was Dimitri, our guide. Not only did he share insider stories about the area, but he also brought his passion as an artist to life, highlighting the typical Greek architecture around us. We even exchanged food stories from our travels, making it a truly personal and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

A unique tour away from the standard tours that happen in most of the areas around Athens. The food was exceptional! - This was an amazing day discovering an alternative, more 'real' side of Athens. I booked this tour in order to experience something different from the busy city center, and to eat a lot of Greek food! I got exactly what I expected. Delicious food (and lots of it), a delightful guide showing us around as if we were long time friends, and a lovely stroll in an Athenian neighborhood where our group were the only tourists. This was an exceptional tour!

Hidden gem check it out ! - I loved the walk around this neighborhood After spending a day around the sites in the touristic centre, I wanted to get the vibe of an actual local neighbourhood so this tour was perfect I enjoyed the views and the stadium plus every local establishment we visited, was special! The cute outdoor cafe, the bakery, the tree nestled taverna ...and it goes on Loved it The guides have really cool friendly personalities with engaging storytelling We got to meet other travellers and make new friends also so overall a very fun afternoon

Great authentic experience - We enjoyed every minute of our food tour. We got a glimpse of the real Athens … outside of the touristic part. Lovely authentic food and an amazing guide who is knowledgeable. I always enjoy learning something new. We even got some great advice for places to visit. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in authentic experiences.

Amazing food tour in Athens - This was a great experience exploring an off the beaten path neighbourhood in the center of Athens. I was traveling solo and met some cool people in this tour, with whom we ended up hanging out later that night. The tour itself was well organised, Dimitri our guide was informative and made sure everyone in the group was entertained. Best off all though were the local venues we were taken, the foods we tasted, especially for dinner and the vibe of the tour which felt like hanging out with an old friend. Everything was excellent, and thanks again Dimitri for this great tour.
