Would do this tour again - Amazing experience! We had Gregory, as our tour guide and how lucky were we! Gregory was full of knowledge and shared some personal stories about the area that made the tour so special. All the food we tried was delicious, we very much enjoyed everything and loved hearing the story's about how the traditional foods came about. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great value for money! We loved it! - TBH, I originally choose this food tour because it was one of the shorter and cheaper food tours that I found and I didn't know if we were going to feel like going (scheduled it for the day that we arrived in Athens). In fact, 2/3 of our party ended up going and even with splitting the cost of the person who stayed behind I think it was a bargain. This tour makes several stops and everything we tasted was delicious! One of the stops has included wine tastings and the last stop has some amazing mastic ice cream. I feel like it was a lot of food for the price and we did not leave hungry. I also liked that the tour wasn't as long as some other tours- 4 hours was too long for us. We had a very fun, small group and our guide Cristina was outstanding.
