Highly recommend - We (2 middle aged parents and 17 and 14 year olds) throughly enjoyed this tour. It is a lot of walking but we enjoyed Maria's commentary and explanation of the areas we went to. Other food tours we have done for example in Paris, it's all about the food and you cram in x amount of places in a couple of hours - with this tour, you get a walking tour of Athens plus the most amazing different foods to try. Highly recommend.

Do not miss this tour - This was a great tour to do to learn about the wonderful cuisine of Greece. It also gave us great knowledge of where to eat and what to look out for. We tasted some incredible cheeses, pasties, meats, seafood…. We also visited the fish/meat markets and leaned a lot about local Athens. Costa was an excellent host and we were so grater that he was our guide for our tour. Thank you Costa, you really made the tour extra special !

Highly Recommend - Highly recommend! The tour guide was amazing. Aside from the fantastic food (and a lot of it), you’ll get to venture through many neighborhoods & learn some history in the process.

Great food, Great guide and FUN - We arrived in Athens early morning and booked this 1:45pm (13:45) tour. We went as a couple and there were only 9 people (family of 4, 2 other couples and 1 single) total on the tour. Our guide, Costas, was fantastic. He not only took us around Athens to taste some delicious Greek food, he gave us just the right amount of Greek history, some current events and just kept us entertained the entire time. Pace yourselves, you have samplings along the way and at the end we had more samplings to create an entire Greek meal. This was a perfect way for us to get a good tasting of so many different things so as we continue our time in Athens and other cities in Greece we know what to eat! Don’t be afraid to sample away!!!

In love with this tour - The entire experience from start to finish was amazing. Our guides made the experience very personalized. I injured my back prior to vacation and they were constantly checking on me and getting a chair for me to sit to relieve my discomfort. The food stops were spectacular. Go hungry. There is so much food on this tour. LOVED IT!!!!!

Poor communication 🤐 - Well since the company/ guide did not send good directions to the meeting place and after three phone calls to the guide and getting no one I had to call Viator direct. We missed connecting with guide and company is refusing to refund money. Taking it up with my credit card company. Ruined our afternoon as we were looking forward to this experience.
