Fantastic tour with a new friend - One of the best tours we have ever had. Tassos was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and made us feel very welcomed in his favorite city and country. He showed us the best spots in the city and it was great eating like a local. At the end of the tour, it was as if we were just hanging out with our friend. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone.

The best food tour of a city I’ve ever done - I can’t thank Tassos enough for the wonderful tour he created for us. Not only did we eat great food we learned so much about Athens and Greece. Tassos was so accommodating and entertaining. We laughed together at his jokes and the fact that EVERYTHING can be traced back to Greek origin, such as Starbucks coffee was started by Mr Starbuckopolous who decided to take his coffee to the USA. And that he was friends with Mr Cococolopolus who invented Coca Cola. lol 😂 It was like talking with the father from ‘My big fat Greek wedding’ A 3.5 hour tour went on for over 5 hours because we all were enjoying each other’s company and friendship. Great food, informative conversation and Tassos made us feel like family. Highly recommended. But if you can get Tassos as your guide, even better.

Absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend! - Wonderful tour with an amazing guide! We had many traditional tastings including pastry pies, meats, olives, coffee & gyros. Also a trip through the fresh produce & meat markets. Our guide went out of his way to connect with us and provide local history and recommendations for other activities during our stay in Athens. Absolutely fantastic!
