I took this evening food tour with my teenage son and we had a great time. Lucas was very engaging and it was great to have someone local share some of the Greek culture. The food was good and included standard favorites like souvlaki, but also included some dished that I had not previously tried.

We ended up having a private guided tour with Eleni and she was FANTASTIC! The 3+ hours flew by and were jam packed with culture, history, laughs and the most delicious food and drink. Definitely come hungry and ready to drink, learn and have a great time!

Our flight got delayed, so requested Viator to help in changing our food tour to next day. THE VIATOR REP WAS COMPLETELY USELESS AND UNHELPFUL AND SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND WE LOSE OUR ~$250. Kudos to the local tour company and they moved our booking to the next day without any drama. Lesson learnt, WHY PAY VIATOR 20-30% MARKUP FOR DOING NOTHING AND JUST BOOKING DIRECTLY WITH THE PROVIDER. Now 5 stars & two thumbs up to the tour operator - True Voyagers for understanding our situation and accommodating us the next day. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food tour experience and would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun basic preview of Athens street food. Since out of 5-6 tastings, two were honey tasting and a dessert stop, maybe adding one or two more tasting stops would make this a 5 star experience. However would highly recommend and I would do it again next time I am in Athens. Would suggest you book directly with True Voyagers and not pay Viator a fee for doing nothing. I use them all the time, but maybe not anymore !!!

Konstantina gave us a brilliant introduction to the Greek cuisine. We got all the staples and explanations of when, how and where the food started. We left full, happy and educated with plans as to where and what we are eating for the rest of our trip

My 8 year old and I took this tour on our first night in Athens. Not only was it a great introduction to the city but also a wonderful way to get our first taste of Greek food. The food was varied and plentiful. The tour guide was welcoming and knowledgeable. Exactly what we wanted and more.

Lucas was a fantastic guide introducing us to not only the foods of Athens, but their historical context. We spent several hours seeing sites and tasting wonderful foods along the way. Our sit down meal was fantastic with a sampling of charcuterie, dolmas, chicken, and tzatziki accompanied by Araki , beer and red and white wine. A really fun afternoon.

Great selection of food and portions were perfect. Small enough group that we got to o o everyone. Our guide was informative and energetic and made it a great time.

We booked a street food tour - family of 6 - and had a wonderful time. Our guide was Christina, and she was warm, and highly knowledgeable about the food and history of Athens. The food was fantastic - all fresh, all delicious and there was lots of it! We had freshly baked goods, gyros, ice cream and deep fried donuts. We were also taken around local markets and speciality stores where we had generous samples! This trip is highly recommended and if you can, request that Christina is your guide. She helped to elevate the whole experience.
