Eleftherios was absolutely the best guide on our Ultimate Food Tour in Athens! Knowledgeable, friendly, charming. Super experience, particularly on our first morning in Athens—helped acclimate us to the city and better understand both traditions /culture as well as current events. Highly recommend!

Giannis was our tour guide on our afternoon trip on 02/10/23 and he was brilliant! Very good English and very knowledgeable about the traditional Greek cuisine and culture. He even was so helpful when my wife (5months pregnant) couldn’t stomach the smell of walking through the fish market. He had us wait out front while he guided the rest of the group to the next destination and then doubled back to get us and reunite us with the rest of the group without having to walk through there. He was our good shepherd! Can’t say enough about how great of a job Giannis did and how much fun we had.

We started our Greece trip with Anna's foot on foot tour and it was amazing! It was a perfect way to learn about the best foods in Greece and take that knowledge on the rest of our trip. I happily and confidently ordered the custard bougatsa every chance I could after that. It was also a great introduction to Athens, learning our way around the city and a little bit about the history. We loved picking out spots to return to on our day in Athens before returning home. Anna was a great guide and we had a great group of people to explore with.
