Fantastic tour guide, Elissavet with Alternative Athens - I can not recommend this tour enough! Elissavet was absolutely lovely, engaging, and full of knowledge. And the FOOD! Oh my gosh, we were fed so much food by Elissavet and explained how they were made and the history behind all of it. Elissavet engaged with our daughters so well and was so sweet to all of us. I highly recommend this tour with Elissavet.

The Best of the foods of Athens - Amazing way to explore the foods of Athens (and Greece). With a very knowledgeable food guide, we stopped at about 10 - 12 of the "best" examples of the various foods. We were given insights as to the role the various foods had in Athens' history and culture.

Wonderful food tour in central Athens. - Our first full day in Athens. We had no food in our apartment and didn't know our way around. We thought the downtown food tour would orient us and provide a good start on wonderful Greek food. The tour did not disappoint. Joseph, the guide, was extremely pleasant and informative. All the food was delish. We saw several sights, and fooderies, that on now on the revisit list. Highly recommended.

Excellent Experience - We especially enjoyed the meat. seafood and vegetable markets but the souvlaki was the best we have ever had. Elizabeth was wonderful as our guide and we highly recommend. We would never have found some of the hidden gems she showed us on our own.

Not as described - Our tour did not match the description. It was a pleasant evening, but we made four stops—for baklava, for moussaka and pies, for gyros, and for Greek donuts. No cheese, olive oil, market stops. It would have been nice to have smaller portions as there was way too much food.

Not a good food tour. - The tour was not what I call a real food tour. The samples were of items that the average person has access to. For the price we received a small meat pie, a giro, scoop of ice cream and an olive oil sampling that was OK. The brief of the tour says it is a .5 mile walk but we ended up walking almost 5 miles.
The guide was pleasant but for the price it was not worth it.
