We had a great tour with Dimitra! She knows Athens very well and took us to lots of local places. I loved walking through the market and sampling some of Athens best food. I’m so happy we booked this tour and very thankfull that we got Dimitra as our guide.

This was a fantastic tour. Out guide, Tonya, was very knowledgeable and engaging. She took us to many local spots and we tried a lot of local Greek foods and drinks. We had so much that we could not even eat dinner that night. We also had some food come back with us to the hotel. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Athens.

This was one of our highlights in Athens. Catherine was a fabulous guide. We tasted a wide variety of traditional Greek food and learned about how locals prepare and enjoy meals. Our group was fabulous and we enjoyed meeting people from several different countries. They aren't kidding when they say to come hungry.
