We had Dimitra as our food tour guide. She was fantastic! Fun and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the food we ate and its history. Plenty of food so dont eat too soon before you depart for your tour. Highly recommend this tour and hope that you get Dimitra as your guide.

This is one of the best things we could done to start our time here in Athens. We got to see a little of the city as we learned about it's history and the food we were partaking in. Nicoletta was our guide she was awesome! She had such a good report with all of the vendors and we learned so much of Greek and Athens history. She is full of energy and we could tell she truly loves doing these tours. Definitely bring your appetite so that you can really enjoy all of the food 😋 Thank you so much Nicoletta!

This tour was amazing and delicious! Our tour guide Adele was so much fun and extremely knowledgeable- highlights included a phyllo dough demonstration, geography and history lessons about Greek wine, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, and a walk through the central market. There was plenty of food, both sweet and savory. We highly recommend this tour especially with Adele. Carol and Frank
