This was a great tour! We had Menelaous as our tour guide. We made 8 or 9 stops for tastings. I loved the variety. Pastries, the meat market, cheese shop, coffee, and various others. We got a bit of history along with the food.

Kostas was an amazing guide explaining the history of the food we sampled as we walked through the market areas of the city center. It all culminated in a fabulous feast of dishes…an overall wonderful experience!

Make sure you schedule a morning or afternoon for this amazing food tour. We did the Ultimate Food tasting tour. We met at Monastiraki square in front of Holy church of Virgin Mary Pantanassa. From there we walked the streets of Athens savoring some amazing food. Our guide, Lefteris, was fun and informative. He also added a lot of history to our tour so it wasn't just about the food. Our last stop was a taverna where we sampled all kinds of delicious mezes (appetizers). Highly recommend this tour.

We went out with Lefteris, and had such a fun time. We got to taste many savory items. We also stopped at a cheese place (I never knew fresh feta was so soft and tangy) and an olive spot. Of the two food tours we did in Greece, this one was the best, both for the variety of food, but the knowledge of our guide as well. I learned so many things on this tour. Definitely a must if you come to Athens.

What an amazing experience. My daughter & I capped off our week in Greece with the morning Ultimate Food Tasting Tour. Left was our guide. We wandered the streets and ate amazing foods while learning the history of what we were eating and how it tied into every aspect of Greek life. There's no better way to get to know a country than to understand its food. Highly recommend this tour. I'm sure you'll be happy with any of the guides. We were thrilled with Left.
