Wonderful tour with an amazing guide! We had many traditional tastings including pastry pies, meats, olives, coffee & gyros. Also a trip through the fresh produce & meat markets. Our guide went out of his way to connect with us and provide local history and recommendations for other activities during our stay in Athens. Absolutely fantastic!

Tassos was great! Knowledgeable, friendly and fun! We got a complete feel for the city through food, history and places we would not have found ourselves in just a days time. I can honestly say we experienced Athens authentically because of Tassos. Thanks again!

The tour was excellent. We got so much side information, which makes you connect more to Athens and Greece. Tassos was very open and chatty. We were walking along and through many places and eyerywhere he knew a story to tell. It was great fun and time was passing by so quickly even though we overran the schedule.

To say we loved it is an understatement. Touring with Tassos felt like visiting an old friend. He's knowledgable, personable, and showed us all the hidden gems tucked away while other tourists waited in long lines for other mediocre options. Tassos has the best stories, is hilarious, and is just a really nice guy. I'd recommend this tour to my friends, parents, big groups, small groups-- anyone. Cannot endorse enough.
