Our tour with Mike was funny, fun and informative. A great experience for those who have a love of food and want to try something in the real way of an Athenian. Especially interesting was the market and spice store!

Arena was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable. We learned about history as well as the food. There are many food tours in Athens. This tour company takes pride in going to different locations. The food was high quality. We especially enjoyed the food market. My husband enjoyed the olive oil tasting. We purchased some high quality evoo to take home.

Myself and my friend had a lunchtime tour with Rachel on a Saturday in March - it was absolutely fantastic and our favourite part of our trip to Athens. Everything felt so authentic, from the shops we visited, to the food we tasted, to the experience we had in the markets. Rachel is clearly really loved by all the locals and is very well connected meaning we had the best experience and service. We learnt so much about food, language and customs, the value for money was amazing and I would recommend the experience to anyone visiting Athens. Thank you so much Rachel for an amazing day (and for getting us a table on the roof terrace at the end!).

Had the most amazing food tour with Arela - her knowledge of culture, people and food was incredible. We had the best time with her and felt like we gained such insight into Athens culture & life with her, and gained a friendship Having had such an amazing time, we would consider it a vital part of weekend city break to do a food tour and would highly recommend travellers to do this tour. Wonderful tour guide and wonderful experience. 5 stars! Michele, Natalie and Beata

Had a fantastic day touring round Athens trying all different types of food and drink. Rachel was very knowledgeable and passionate about the food. We both learnt a lot that we didn’t know. The food was different at each stop, so covered fish, meat, coffee, honey and salad to name a few. Tried food that I would not normal have. If you go on the tour just try everything as it is so good and does not taste the same as at home. Also visited the fish and meat market before having a coffee that was heated up in volcanic sand. A trip that I will always remember. If you come to Athens highly recommend.

We (my husband, son, and I) absolutely loved our tour with Rachel. It was obvious that she loves what she does and enjoys helping others experience the Athens that she loves. Come hungry!

Our daughter has a severe allergy to nuts but we didn’t want to miss out on the food tour experience. The support and adaptation to our food experience a was exceptional, giving total peace of mind that the food tasting would pose no risk. Nuts especially pistachio are very popular in Greece and unfortunately the main trigger food for our daughter’s nut allergies. To add to the challenge one of our party eats vegetables only. To ensure everyone was satisfied and still getting the full Greek food experience, a balanced mix of seafood, cured meats and vegetable dishes were provided. The tour was one of the highlights of our weekend city break, show casing the best produce Athens/Greece has to offer. Truly educational.

If you want to be treated like a VIP take this tour. We enjoyed learning about the local area while tasting a wide variety of foods. Our guide Arela was outstanding. She made us feel welcome and provided us with as much information as we wanted. We recommend this tour.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this tour is. Arela gave us a taste of her local community while enjoying delicious food. This made our short stay in Athens memorable.

Our afternoon with Arela was absolutely perfect. Arela was so lovely and truly accomodating. She also provided such interesting stories, not only about what we ate, but also about culture and history. It was incredibly interesting, with never a dull moment. Throughout the tour, we tried foods and stopped at places we otherwise wouldn't have known to try. This very special tour made our visit to Athens so much more meaningful. We are delighted to have been a part of today's tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Athens!

The best food tour we've had! Arela, our food tour guide, was a local and worked in the area in one of the restaurants in the meat market. She had so many stories to tell and so many connections with the locals, it felt very special to experience this tour with her. would highly recommend this food tour for your next visit to Athens !

I love this trip! Our guide Rachel is awesome. She told us lots of interesting stories and knowledge. We walked in the market just like local people. All the food she prepared for us was special and unique. You can not only taste it but also know how to cook it and why people like it. If you are interested in local food. Do not hesitate to book this trip!

A very pleasant afternoon with Arela touring the food markets, various artisan producers, local eateries, and delicatessens. She was well known to staff at the venues we visited and well versed in local culture and gastronomy. She was very personable and instantly made my companion and I feel comfortably at ease. We were fortunate in that we were the only two on this particular outing, so we were able to engage and ask myriad questions which were readily answered. All the food we sampled was delicious. Bear in mind, this is local food, not Michelin quality fare. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and ate as much as we could manage, all the while learning interesting facts and tidbits.

We had a great tour this morning with Michael. he was so friendly and knowledgeable, putting all three of us at ease right away. We got to sample bougatsa and spanakopita to start off the day. He especially took us to small family owned businesses that support the community, which we really appreciated. Hearing the stories behind how the food is made, and where it is grown is the kind of thing you can’t discover on your own. We sampled olive oil, cheese and cured meat from several different shops that have been owned in one family for generations. One of the highlights for me was also sampling a variety of different honeys, all collected from different locations by the same family company, who move their bees around to follow whatever flowers or saps are in season. We also tried a variety of olives, some fresh feta made in the shop, then, had a great walk-through the meat and fish markets, stopping to have some freshly grilled chicken skewers. We toured a spice shop, stopping to smell a number of different dried herbs, and learned how one wall was devoted to medicinal herbs and teas. We sampled some nuts and tangerines, which were in season. We finished up by having a beautiful lunch of mezze and ouzo. We have already returned to some of the shops to make purchases, and plan to do more in the coming days. I highly recommend this tour and found it very much worth the cost. Even though it was a bit of a splurge for us, I would do it again without question.

Highly recommend taking this tour within your first day or two in Athens. We were able to try most of the foods on our wish list and learned a lot. Our guide, Arela, is very familiar with the area, told fun stories, and was easily able to answer everyone's questions.

If you are going to Athens, start here, it was an amazing introduction to Athenian culture, with an expert guide who is know by all the locals, you will taste real Athens as well as get the story behind all things. Our guide Rachel grew up in the area, and was so helpful, and fun, she even helped us find other adventures Thank you

This was hands down the best food tour of my life ! Our guide was a local born and raised but her English could easily pass as a native speaker. We tried everything! And once I couldn’t eat any more , we tried 5 more things! Guide went above and beyond ! If you are in Athens , book this ! It’s a value at twice the price !

What a fantastic time we had exploring food experiences around Athens. Rachel was fantastic, full of local knowledge and tips and we now have some brilliant ideas on where to eat for the remainder of our trip. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to Athens.
