Catherine was super knowledgeable and pleasant to talk with, the tour was interesting and the food was great. Good introduction to Greek specialities and food in general ☺️ Fair price.

Great tour with Catarina (I think that’s how you spell it!). Lovely gentle walk around learning about Athens and food traditions and what locals eat. Very enjoyable couple of hours.

Filippa, our guide, enthusiastically guided through the streets of Athens stopping to provide us with interesting historical facts in addition to treating us to traditional Greek menu items with our final stop souvlaki for lunch.

Very good tour. I don't know if this is the same place but I booked a food tour through trip advisor with "Athens walks". Full AF though. All food was great but I especially liked the Turkish coffee. And doing it with strangers wasn't that bad either everyone was friendly and cool. Seriously don't eat all day before this because you will be beyond full with the amount of food you get.

Très bon tour, visite du quartier de la plaka, églises orthodoxes avec beaucoup d explications. Un petit bémol toute fois, une visite un peu au pas de courses, pas trop le temps pour prendre des photos, flâner ou même se rafraîchir.
Christine
Not sure what my expectations going in were, but the tour far exceeded them. They are not kidding when they say it's a LOT of food. Very informative and friendly, and delicious!

Excellent food tour! Dorella was wonderful. We had incredible food and learned a lot about the Greek culture. We tried so many amazing foods and left VERY full. And with so many wonderful recommendations for where to go after.
