We had a fantastic time! We were running a little late due to a taxi issue and the company was so helpful and accommodating! Once we arrived we had a great time and it was so fun trying all the different foods and walking around Athens. Would totally do it again. Our tour guide was great as well!

Had an amazing experience with our guide Nicolette. We had a small group and we couldn’t stop raving about every place Nicolette took us. Wonderful food along with wonderful conversations made for a memorable afternoon. We were pretty stuffed by the last stop so brought home the leftovers for dinner.
