Dimitris took me off the beaten trail to try local food. Did not go to all places in description of experience since he tailored it to what I was interested in trying. It was a very good experience with plenty of food to try. Dimitris is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to about anything and caring. Would highly recommend for a privately food tour.

Dimitris was kind and patient with our tardiness as the ride from the airport was longer than anticipated. Unfortunately it was a rainy day that we were not prepared for so perhaps an umbrella would have been nice. We tried many delicious things but servings were large rather than actual samples so we filled up quickly and passed on the last couple of stops. We did go to local places rather than tourist areas which is what we were looking for!

Dimitris is a very good communicator. A pleasant, kind, knowledgeable journalist. We saw many parts of this beautiful city in our leisurely walk to taste foods. The foods we tasted were all delicious.

Fun stopping at old town Athens area away from all the busy areas. Demetris was very knowledgeable of Greece. Visit bakery and local restaurant and bar for the real authentic Greek cuisine!!

Dimitrius is a true professional!! I appreciated his calm deliberate approach to the day. We Truly had the best time. We were cruise ship guests so a bit of a hiccup getting to the tour as I didn’t realize the port was 20/30 minutes away- but Dimitrius was so helpful with suggestions and his wisdom. We had a wonderful time eating things we would not known to order. Conversation never lagged. A true delight to hang out with a local - like having a cousin abroad who shows you the town ;). Highly recommend

We did not receive most of the foods shown in the pictures or described in the listing. Never went to any taverns, had no lunch or salads, small fishes, fried vegetables, etc. We also were not offered any alcoholic beverages. It was overpriced for what we were given.

The tour was excellent. The personal attention and the focus on smaller businesses is what we enjoyed the most. Unfortunately, we had to cut our tour short due to unforeseen circumstances. That said, Dimitris went above and beyond to make sure that we were okay. In fact, Dimitris continued to make recommendations of spots to hit well after the tour. I can’t thank him enough for the warmth and hospitality. Finally, come hungry, you will be eating a lot of great, Greek bites.

An enjoyable few hours roaming parts of Athens watching locals go about their daily lives and then tasting lots of local foods at various stops——all varied and delicious. A most interesting afternoon. Dimitris was enjoyable to be with.

Dimitris took us on a fun culinary experience of local cuisine. Wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

We had a fantastic private food tour in Athens with Dimitris. He is extremely personable and knowledgeable, and he adapted the tour to suit our specific interests and needs. One of the best things about the tour is that he focused on taking us to non-touristic locations. We tasted many, many different dishes and places we especially loved our last stop in a little cafe where we enjoyed multiple mezzes (e.g., Greek tapas). We highly recommend Dimitris and this superb tour.
