Be sure to go hungry... - Be sure to go hungry because there will be a lot of food consumed. Julia and George are a dynamic duo, very, very knowledgeable, good sense of humor, offering a great sampling of the Athens food options. The spice markets are awesome. Highly recommend.

What a way to kick off our trip to Athens! - I brought a group of 6 seniors (who had just graduated) to Athens and we had to do a food tour! This was our very first activity in Athens and it was absolutely perfect! We loved everything about it form learning more about the culture, getting to explore the city and of course enjoying the food! There isn't anything we would change about it. It was a tremendous value and great experience! Highly recommend!

A Great way to see the City! - Duke is the best. From the moment we met up with him it was like an old friend showing us around their city. He was warm, engaging, funny, and so knowledgeable. We loved getting a little taste some of the traditional foods Athens had to offer as well as the history behind it.

Local Greek Food Tour - Julia & George were excellent guides. She was so knowledgable and had a ton of tidbits about the food and history of Athens to share with us. She brought us to local family owned shops that sold items purchased by people in the neighborhoods. The snacks and meal offered were traditional Greek foods that were fabulous. I would highly recommend this tour with Julia and George.
