Great experience! - Loved this tour! We went to 5 places and at first I thought it wouldn’t be enough food but we were stuffed at the end! It was a hot July day but we managed to stay in the shade and get AC at some of the places. I love how our tour guide Giota wove food and history together so well! A great addition to our trip and one of the highlights, thanks Greekality!

Great introduction to many delicious Greek specialities - I was looking for an interactive and informative excursion to partake in after we arrived in Athens to help adjust to our jetlag. Our tour guide, Fotis, was so energetic and informative about Athens, the neighborhoods we visited, and the food choices/restaurants visited as part of the tour. He was full of stories from his childhood and family to his favorite places to visit to eat. Do not start this tour on a full stomach!! We made 6 stops to taste Greek specialties. The serving sizes were not "samples" but full size servings. You want to make sure you have room to try each specialty because they were all delicious. It has been a week since our tour and I am still craving the kabobs, Greek pizza, and the loukoumades (airy Greek donut holes with honey & cinnamon or a pistachio glaze).

Great way to sample the amazing food Athens has to offer! - This was such a great way to get introduced to the food and culture that makes Athens unique.
We visited 5 different restaurants, and tasted some amazing food. Our guide, Emi, was very knowledgeable of the food and the neighborhood.
I'm glad we did this early in our stay, so we could go back to some of the restaurants later in the week.

Best Food Tour / Great Guide! - Tour was phenomenal! Jenny, our guide was knowledgeable, fun, energetic, and professional. Food was local, fresh, it was super to hear the history of it and visit top local restaurants and shops we would not have otherwise known to. Jenny our guide was well educated, her English is perfect, she is a clear communicator, and very accommodating. (Thank you for the wine!)
Highly recommend. Also liked how small our group was.

Great intro to Athens - Souvlaki, boat pizza, orange cake and ice cream - yum! And the walking removes some guilt for the large meal. Met real nice people.
