We really enjoyed Epistimi‘s tour. The food was amazing although there was so much that we couldn’t eat it all! We learned a few Greek phrases! She was very engaging and had a great sense of humor!

Wonderful time!

Natalie_P, Jun 2026
We had 12 people traveling together and our guide, Fotis, was very knowledgeable about the food, history, and culture. He was very patient and went slow as my 83 year-old mother kept up with us on the 3 hour tour! We learned alot and I would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent way to spend an afternoon getting to try new foods and see the city. Loved all of the explanations and history discussion! Yota was lovely! She was friendly, kind, funny, and intelligent. The afternoon felt like a friend showing you around the city and taking you to their favorite spots to eat. 100% recommend!

Polly_C, Mar 2026
Great tour with Yiota making lots of stops at local restaurants and shops. She was great and gave us insight into the culture of the people and how food plays a role. If you choose this tour go hungry! We could not eat all the food that was served. All was delicious!

Giota with Greekality 5 stars

Laurie_B, Mar 2026
Our tour guide was Giota with Greekality. She showed us a wonderful time and taught our group so much about Greek history and culture through the lense of food and drinks. She is a fantastic storyteller and a great hostess. She brought us to small restaurants where she had previously arranged our seating and food. Everything with seamless and delicious. Thank you, Giota, for an amazing day!!!

Athens food tour

wauneita_R, Oct 2025
The food and restaurants were very good. The only negative is that there was a lot of walking between a couple of the stops. If walking is an issue you this might a difficult tour

Delectable Tour

Marianne_A, Oct 2025
We went to several typical eateries. All the food we ate was delightful. The guide was very knowledgeable and related some food items to Greek history. She also explained how some of the food is made and eaten in typical Greek families. Overall we enjoyed the tour very much. However, often it was hard to hear the guide, because of the noise on the street and in the restaurants. Consider some microphone arrangement.

Great Experience

Maritza_P, Oct 2025

Rachel_L, Sep 2025
This tour was fantastic! Our guide, Amy I think was her name, gave us a true local perspective on Greek food and culture. She was so knowledgeable about the dishes and every stop was delicious. We had a great time chatting with her and the group and exploring the City while eating unique foods we might’ve not tried otherwise. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Food and Guide!

Diane_V, Sep 2025
We loved our tour with Emmi! She really made our trip special and it would not have been the same without her. She educated us on Greek history, language, and culture while we enjoyed incredible food. We especially appreciated that Emmi shared personal stories about her family and homeland which made the tour even more fulfilling. The tour was organized incredibly well - the mix of food, drink, and the various locations was perfect. The food itself was of fantastic quality and large portions. It was definitely a complete meal. The group size (9) was just right and everyone was fun and engaging. Would definitely recommend this tour!!
