This food tour was the best thing our party of 6 could have done after arriving in Athens after a long overnight flight from Atlanta. Rachel is an owner of the company with her husband and an excellent guide, She was so knowledgeable about Athens and all of its wonderful food. We got to see places and taste food that we would have not known about on our own. We highly recommend this tour and Rachel!!!

There was a nice variety of food and drinks. The selection of places to eat was nice. The group size was small which made the experience personal. Arela, our tour guide was very personable and made the experience pleasant.

Come hungry! Arela was nothing short of stellar, knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share Greek culture, food and traditions with us! From appetizers to full courses to desserts to various honeys, Arela shared the deliciousness of Athens. Truly outstanding and would highly recommend as a first tour for your stay in Athens!

We had Rachel the owner as our guide and she was wonderful. We saw a wide variety of different foods and she was very informative about the food and the area. She made everyone feel comfortable and enjoyed the tour immensely. Would highly recommend.

Boula was our masterful guide who delighted us with more than enough food, and excellent descriptions of what we were tasting and how it fits in Greek culture and life style. Well worth the money!
