We did the breakfast food tour with with Arela. She was outstanding and we had the best time trying all different foods including spanakopita, olives, Greek yogurt, sausage, cheese, an omelet and much more. Highly recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed a marvellous food tour yesterday afternoon with Mike and he was a warm and engaging host. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about the local food that he gave us the courage to try items which we were never prepared to eat before. The variety, quality and amount of food on offer was astonishing and we cancelled our dinner plans as we could not eat another bite. The best part of the tour for us, however, was seeing and meeting the local people, from the shop owners to vendors at the markets and locals enjoying lunch at the restaurant. It showed us a side of Athens which you do not normally see as a tourist. We have been left with great memories.

Awesome tour!! We had two wonderful ladies guide us through the different markets. The food is amazing! Thank you to Sophia and the other lady, her name was very Greek and difficult to say, but equally fabulous! I highly recommend this tour.
