    Dimitris was an amazing guide. I cannot recommend this food tour enough! We started the day with a private Off The Beaten Track Walking Food Tour to mingle with the locals and see where they eat. Over the span of three hours, we covered three miles while eating and drinking (and of course, shopping) our way across the city. He took us to places we would never have found our even thought to look for on our own. The spice markets and central market were a feast for the senses, full of wonderful colors, smells, and tastes. The organic honey and olive tastings were one of those gems that we didn't know we needed until we had them, and we were amazed at the rich flavors. The Souvlaki Spesial was another favorite, with pork, fresh tomatoes, onions, herbs, paprika, and salt; so simple, yet delicious! The final stop at the Polykala Distillery was another highlight. The owner was warm and welcoming and took us through a tasting of a variety of liqueurs. My wife's favorite was the kafé and mine was the lemon, but we also both enjoyed the Mastika. Dimitris provided an overall amazing experience with lots of insight and fun facts about the places and food we were experiencing. 10/10 would do again and definitely recommend to anyone who wants a special experience.

    We had a great afternoon experiencing Athens like a local. This was a nice capstone to our few days in more touristy areas. We ended up with a wonderful bag of treats to take along with us for the next few days as well.

    Dimitris was an AMAZING guide. Since this is a private tour, he will tailor the experience to your interests. We could have gone to the touristy parts, but what's the fun in that? Dimitris took us to the "non-touristy" sections of Athens and treated us to a day in the life of an Athenian. We went to the souvlaki shop that Athenians go to for a quick snack, and he took us to a place where Greeks go to hang out with friends and enjoy excellent food. We also walked through the markets where Athenians shop - the ones with fresh produce, fish, meats, etc. It was an amazing experience, and I would recommend this tour to anyone.

    The food on the tour is fantastic. We visited 5 local establishments and tried a variety of food. Walnut cake, zucchini fritters, greek ice cream, eggplant to name a few. Do not eat for a half day prior to your tour. The tour also provides a nice over very of Athens as well.
