"Georgia was great and dealt with our teenagers very well. Was disappointed that the market was closed on the day we booked. Don’t see why that tour was available on the day the market was closed but Georgia made the best of it"
"This was the best decision we made while in Athens. Manos met us at a convenient location and brought us to his favorite food destinations. We experienced AMAZING food, got to know proprietors of local businesses, wandered neighborhoods and received a great education on Greek culture and history!"
"Fantastic way to see parts of the city off the beaten track. Good variety of tasting, and great hosting. Loved our time with Niko. Would 100% recommend. "
"We couldn’t have chosen a better guide for our food tour of Athens! Ioannis was delightful and made our food tour memorable. From his knowledge of Greek history, culture, and of course, food we were extremely pleased. 100% would book with him again. "

Excellent Food Tour with Ioanmis
"We had an excellent food tour around Athens with Ioannis! He tailored his tour to our interests and shared lots of interesting historical information. The tour kept a good pace and we were very full by the end. We enjoyed spending time with Ioannis and would not hesitate recommend him. "
"Ioannis (Yani) was the perfect tour guide. Chatty and informative and always engaging. Fed us things and took us places we never would have done by ourselves. "
"We spent a wonderfull time with Dionysis. We merged 2 tours: Highlights and hidden gems of Athens and Fodd tour in Athens. Before the tour, he was really accessible and flexible, and customized the tour with our preferences. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyable, we could feel how passionate he is about his city.
The food we tasted was amazing, and he recommended great places for the rest of our stay. We recommend him without a hesitation!
