I visited Athens with my family on June 24th and 25th and took the Athens Food Small-Group Walking Tour guided by Konstantinos Pesmatzoglou. It was a superb introduction into the food atmosphere of Athens and Konstantinos was very accommodating with frequent breaks due to the extreme temperatures. Our tour was such fun we asked for him to guide us around the Plaka/Psirri area the next day. Since we left Athens for our charter to the Cyclades he has emailed several times to see how our Island Trip is progressing. Our family found a life-long friend in Konstantinos. Do not hesitate to take this tour!This tour was a delightful experience. Konstantinos has put together a great itinerary, he is polite, kind and extremely knowledgeable.
