Elena was a fantastic guide and host. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave us very interesting information. It is worthwhile walking through historic Athens and taste authentic Greek food.

An incredible tour…much more than food. Our wonderful guide, Andreas, provided in depth background of the development of each neighborhood, Athens and Greece. All gave us an understanding of not only the food but how it and the culture evolved.

Our guide for the food tour was Elizabeth (English version of her name). She was amazing. Very informative, very friendly and just great to be with. Our tour was small, which was also great. We did an informative walk through several neighborhoods, had Greek coffee and pastries, bread and olive oil and learned all about olive oil, a walk through the open meat market, lunch at an outdoor restaurant and ended with a pastry desert. Elizabeth made this tour very enjoyable with her knowledge and friendly disposition. She even gave us her number if we had questions about other tours or places to go in Greece. We highly recommend this tour. It is a great way to get to know the neighborhoods.

Elissavet was an excellent guide. She knew both historical information and a lot about food. She was sensitive to dietary concerns in our group and found something for everyone at each site. The tour starts out with small food amounts, but builds. You will have had plenty to eat by the end! Well done!

Elissavet was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. We did this tour on our first day in Athens and it was a wonderful way to get acquainted with local food as well as culture and history. We sampled many delicious local delicacies…much more food than I expected. My favorite stops were the Greek coffee and the mastika flavored cookies (a new flavor for me). Highly recommend this tour!

We were lucky that a “small group “ tour was just the two of us but doubtlessly Elenie would have coped just as well with a full group; thanks for running it for two. Took us to a variety of authentic food outlets several of which we return during our week in Athens. This really opened our eyes to Greek food and to the business new and more established that are leading the way in rebuilding the Greek economy

We had a wonderful morning with Elisabeth sampling delicious Greek food’s & learning interesting snippets of information about Athens & its history & modern Greek life. Elisabeth provided authentic Greek experiences we would not have found ourselves e.g., Greek coffee brewed in traditional manner, mastica flavoured almond macaron & more. There was plenty to eat & a good balance of sweet & savoury dishes. I would highly recommend. Elisabeth was a knowledgeable & delightful guide.

Brilliant food, excellent knowledge, a bit of a walking tour rolled into it and I didn’t need to eat anything else at all that day.

An excellent morning of historical information and delicious food. Starting with baklava, via coffee bread and olive oil, the souvlaki was delicious and different from the usual. A great time was had by the whole family. Many thanks Pavlina.

We booked this Alternative Athens Tour through Get Your Guide, but feel free to book directly. Elena picked a great meeting place and all 5 of us were on time. After the three-hour tour, each person tipped Elena ten euros. I add that because I always wonder… She offered so many tastes it definitely filled us for lunch…the best baklava, the best souvlaki, and so much more. She asks about dietary preferences and feel free to eat as little as you want. These were places I would have missed. There was no pressure to buy a thing. Plus she showed us the street where clergy buy their vestments and the giant market in Psyri. I highly recommend this walk and this guide!

Excellently hosted by the friendly and knowledgeable Andreas, we really enjoyed this food focused tour of Athens. It covered many neighbourhoods, so it was a great introduction to the city as well as being a great gastronomic experience. The tour had many stops and covered many different types of foods. Andreas was a great guide and was happy to answer any questions we had and to give advice on what to see and experience in Athens. We would highly recommend you do this tour. You will have lots to eat on this tour so have a light breakfast and enjoy !

We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour around Athens. Andreas was very good in providing some history and information on what we were tasting. All food was excellent, and the establishments were places we wouldn't have found on our own. Had a great time and ended up full!

We had a wonderful food tour with a knowledgeable host, Elissavet. She went out of her way to cater to our interests, and she had great facts about Athens and Greek culture and history. We learned a lot about Greek food and the city, and we really appreciated the follow up email with suggestions for the rest of our trip. It was very thoughtful. Well worth the time and cost! Elissavet was delightful and really enhanced our experience.

Elena did an excellent job guiding us through Athens and teaching us about Greek food. It was a very fun and delicious experience!! Would do it again in a heartbeat! She also gave great advice on some restaurants and bars to try out on our own. Thanks Elena and Alternative Athens!!

Elissavet was such a lovely guide. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the food and the processes behind it, but she was a caring person who seemed to have all of our interests at heart. As a solo traveler, she made me feel very welcomed. The food of course, was great too, and there was a good variety of different dishes. While most of the dishes started off small, by the last stop there was plenty to eat and I was completely full by the end of the tour.
