Our guide took us to some fantastic, local places and presented us with a lot of information about Greek (food) culture during and in between courses. She was very kind and open and the food was incredibly varied and invariably delicious.

Thanks to our tour guide, Anna, who is indeed a very responsible, conscientious and professional guide. She dropped me a message to inform me 20 mins before the food tour started. When I lost my track, she went extra mile to look for me. I am impressed by her knowledge on Greek food and culture. I enjoyed the food too.

We had a great time sharing food stories with our guide who was very knowledgable about the area and its food. She introduced us to some passionate foodies and we got to taste very good food with a surprisingly filling lunch of 5 shared dishes as well as tasting some very good liquors. The stroll through the meat, fish and vegetable markets is always a delightful experience for us. Finishing with the sweet "gold coins" was very appropriate.

If you're planning a trip to Athens and looking to explore its culinary scene, you absolutely cannot miss the Athens Evening Food Tour. I had the pleasure of experiencing this tour on a friend's recommendation, and it's safe to say it exceeded all my expectations. 
Christina, our tour guide, was nothing short of phenomenal. Her expertise in Greek cuisine and her vivid storytelling brought each dish to life. Her passion for Greek culture shined through as she explained the origins and evolution of the dishes we savored. 
What sets this tour apart is not just the variety of food but the added value Christina brings with her insightful tips on how to navigate Athens like a local. She shared practical advice on avoiding tourist traps, protecting ourselves from pickpockets, and even where to find the best nightlife spots. It's this insider knowledge that enhances the tour experience, making you feel more like an informed visitor than a typical tourist. 
The variety of food we tried was impressive. Each location was a new discovery, and the stories behind the food made each bite more meaningful. 
Christina's gregarious nature ensured that everyone in the group felt included. Regardless of where people were from, she engaged with each one of us, making sure everyone was having a great time and learning a lot. 
I understand now why my friend recommended this tour, and without a doubt, I will be recommending it to others. It's not just a meal; it's an enriching cultural experience that you will cherish long after you've left the city.
