Must do tour - Must do tour, even if you don’t consider yourself a “foodie”. It is the best way to understand the culture and the influences behind the flavorful dishes, while experiencing some of the cool venues in the historic part of town. Plus, our tour guide was very knowledgeable (and patient) and fun!

Great tour! Antonia is the best! - Great food tour with many stops, Antonia was a wonderful, kind, and interactive guide. Got to experience so much we would’ve missed otherwise. Would recommend for anyone visiting Athens.

So much to love! - So much delicious food! Kathryn (not sure that’s how she spells it) was an amazing guide. We tasted all the Greek specialties, learned to drink Ouzo properly, watched coffee being brewed on a sand table, and actually had to take away the gyro from the last stop because we couldn’t eat another bite! There’s a lot of walking, it’s mostly flat but somewhat uneven in places. We walked through the meat, fish, and vegetable markets, which are worth a look unless you’re vegan or afraid of huge cleavers. K gave us a good bit of Athens history and interesting local insights as we were walking, and of course it’s great to meet other travelers in a small group setting. Definitely take the tour group’s advice and don’t eat any breakfast - just a really delicious experience all around.

Many stops - great variety of food, and very plentiful. - Alexandra did a very good job on this tour! We walked through a couple of neighborhoods, saw a local meat market and stopped at many places to taste Greek food. One of the best stops was a restaurant where we tried several dishes served family style. After that (starting to feel full), we then each had a delicious gyro at Hoocut and finished off with some delicious donut desserts. This was a great sampling of Greek food and locations in Athens. More food than a typical food tour, so very good value. When they say don’t eat breakfast, it is true.

Fabulous, filling and fun - A fabulous tour that you should not miss! The tour covers little samples of a range of Greek yummy food from traditional breakfast food to a full luncheon. Tonyia, our guide was the cherry on top, bringing to life Greek hospitality and charm. If you only have one day, add this tour to your list. Highly recommend.

Just do it! - Katarina was absolutely fantastic! Not only does she have an amazing and kind personality, but her English was exceptional as well was her knowledge of Athens. We visited parts of the city we otherwise would not have seen if we didn’t do the tour. I wish she could be our personal guide for the rest of our trip.

Excellent tour~but missed out on half - We met up with our guide Tonya at the meeting place, which was an easy location to find. The group size was perfect for hearing the guide share her knowledge of Greece as well as the foods we sampled. I love how she was so personable and knew everyone in the group by name. The places we stopped to try their specialties were so accommodating, and the food was delicious! My reason for giving this tour four stars instead of five is that at one point she gave us a few minutes to look around at some nuts that were for sale, and when my sister and I turned around, our group was gone! We missed the whole last hour of our tour. With as small as our group was, I wish she would have checked to make sure we were all together before moving on. I did receive an email and a text from the tour company, but we were already back to our hotel by then. I am saddened that we missed half of the tour. We very much enjoyed the part we experienced. This experience will not keep me from booking with Viator again, we have booked thru them numerous times with no problems. I do hope our experience will help to prevent this from happening to others.

Street food tour rather than gourmet tour - Catherin the group leader was great! We expected gurmet tour, but found more a street food. So there was a gap between the expectation and the reality.
