Come hungry because you won't leave that way! - So much great food! Debbie was a true gem and made our tour special. From the Greek coffee (OMG!) to the Souvlaki and beyond, we loved every bite! Visiting the market was a treat with the meat and fish vendors. Olives, Mezza platters, a tasty spirit, and so much more. Come hungry because you won't leave that way!

A Truly Great Taste of Athens! - I went on the small group tour for a Taste of Athens recently. My tour guide Danai told me that today would be a solo tour! The various shops we went to and savory Greek foods we tried were really amazing! Danai was a great tour guide despite having only me to entertain. She was very knowledgeable of the cultural significance in Greece of the specialties we tried. The afternoon session was a treat! Walking on certain backstreets was both easier and less crowded. I particularly enjoyed the mezze and people watching aspects of my time with Danai. All in all, she could not have been nicer!

Gari with an i and not y, the best tour guide in Athens. - We booked a Greek food tasting tour and was met by a lovely young lady (Gari with an i and not y)! Her knowledge and friendliness were exceptional. We would definitely recommend you use only this guide. We enjoyed our experience so much, we booked the afternoon tour as well, so we could spend the whole day with her. It was like walking around with a friend that we had known years, not someone that we had Just met.

Who Better to Guide in Athens than Athena Herself? - Athena was a wonderful guide and tremendously friendly. We did several walking food tours in Greece and I highly recommend them - there are few better ways to get a true experience of the authentic culture of a city than via its cuisine through the eyes of a local. Athena not only took us to numerous delicious spots but was able to answer our all of our groups questions about Athens as well as make recommendations for other spots to visit. Show up hungry because she takes you through what felt like three meals worth of food over the course of the tour!

Great tour - The Taste of Athens Food Tour was great. Our guide was knowledgeable about food and Athens history/culture. The size of the group (10) made it manageable and we were able to experience small restaurants rather than large tourist spots. The food selection was great abd there was a lot. Highly recommended!
