This food walking tour was a great experience to get to know and explore local Greek food and to explore Athens city further. Our guide Alexandra was excellent, very funny and very insightful with what she knew about food.

This was a fun tour with a lot of information on the area and history. Our guide seemed a bit distracted so that was a little frustrating but overall a fun experience.

This was so wonderful. We had a lovely group with us and it felt like having a big dinner with friends. We got to try so many amazing Greek foods and even got to take away a Gyro for the airport!
