We had a good time getting some insight into Greek food and eateries. We liked the first sit down stop better than the last.

A wonderful way to get introduced to the culinary culture of Greece and to the local life in Athens, away from tourist traps, thanks to our lovely hosts.

Mike our guide was very informative & taught us a lot about Greek food. We had a lovely group of ladies with us, which also made it interesting as we exchanged culinary traditions from other countries. A well recommended experience, we ate plenty, so didn’t eat for the rest of the day.

Our guide was friendly and organized. We enjoyed our small group experience. The local shops and markets gave us a good feel of culture. The food tastings were delicious!

This was a very good tour where the guide was passionate about her Greek heritage, culture, and food. It was so nice to go off the beaten path to see what the real local people do and where they ate. The food stops were perfect to sample a variety of Greek foods with explanation of it's origin. All the foods, Greek desserts, and wine were delicious. I highly recommend this tour for those who like to learn about Greek food history while enjoying the delicious foods. Please come hungry as there are many foods to sample.
