Thank you. What a wonderful way to spend a morning! Go and explore the smells and tastes of the parts of Athens you might otherwise miss if you were to stick to the tourist paths. Our guide was brilliant, knowledgeable and very passionate. It was really very, very good.

This tour was absolutely fantastic! We had the opportunity to taste the best versions of some of my favorite Greek foods and some that I didn’t know would become my favorites. Rachel went out of her way to try and find me taramasalata even though it was out of season and not on the tour. She was fun and engaging and knows her food and Greek history. I would highly recommend this tour.

Rachel was a fantastic tour guide for our Athen's food tour! She was knowledgable, friendly, and very helpful. Even though we have been to Athens before she took us places unknown. All stops were fantastic, food and staff were all wonderful. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend her.

Brilliant hosts and very responsive. Very good tour, steady pace and lots to see, and eat! Very friendly with all the traders, really welcoming. Food was typical local and very lovely- all places we went to had only local suppliers. Very good at beginning of holiday to orientate yourself with markets and good restaurants. Recommendations for bars and restaurants were great. Guide was charming and thoughtful, obviously loved his job. Highly recommend going on this tour
