This was a really fun tour to do with our teens. All the food samples were delicious and it was more food than we could eat, even with a small breakfast! Definitely come with an appetite. Exploring the neighbourhoods on foot and with Eleni’s insight was a lovely way to spend a few hours. We visited places we never would have found on our own and gained insights into typical Greek foods. Would definitely recommend.

Elissavet was our guide on this engaging tour. She was so knowledgeable about the food and places we visited. She brought us to side streets and alley ways we would never have ventured on our own. We only regret we didn't do this tour first. Highly recommended.

Elena was a fantastic guide. She was so knowledgeable and so fun! The stops for food were delicious and a true immersive experience into Greek cuisine. Intertwined with the food stops were snippets of history which was so lovely. Absolutely would recommend this tour

Elena guided us through an amazing tasting experience in Athens! We were a small group of 5 people and the experience was delicious and instructive for all of us. My kids (9 and 6) said it was the best part of their stay in Athens. Highly recommended!

My husband and I loved this walking food tour! Our guide, Elana did an amazing job explaining and teaching us about all the different Greek foods and customs! We ate many delicious Greek foods, from their traditional coffee and sweets to full meals. Elana took us to the best restaurants and shops for the freshest and highest quality ingredients. We would highly recommend this tour!
