Amazing tour of Athens food world with the best tour guide ever! There was more food than I should ever eat in an evening but I found room for all of the delicious offerings.
Brenda_M, Mar 2026
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!
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!!!

This was our second experience and we once again had a fabulous experience. Our friends that we brought really enjoyed it as well

Emi was a wonderful guide and made the whole experience educational and joyful! Tried a bunch of new foods that I can’t wait to eat again.
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
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.
Maritza_P, Oct 2025
It was wonderful. Emi our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the food and the history of Greece. Taking time to explain each dish and it’s origins.
Alex_L, Oct 2025
Our guide, Yota, was terrific. Her infusion of history, food and fun made for a memorable night filled with laughs and great experiences.
We’ve done a lot of food tours but this may have been our favorite to date.
Chris_D, Sep 2025
Exceptional Tour. Photis was extremely knowledgeable in Greek culture, the surroundings and about the Greek food. We had wonderful food that everyone loved.
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!
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!!
Gary_C, Sep 2025

It was a food tour plus insights into Greek culture. Loved the small group and walking to various spots and sampling the local foods.

Well worth the money and time!! You get a flavor of local foods and restaurants throughout Athens. Along with a bit of a history lesson.
Mackenzie_F, Jun 2025
Such a lovely time! Marina was so passionate about the food and yesterday. It was very enjoyable listening to her. We learned so much.
Kala_C, Jun 2025
Our guide Emi was very friendly, and shared a lot about the history of food in Athens, along with her personal stories about food from her hometown of Kalamata. There were 4 stops: an olive oil tasting with cheese and bread, the tastiest gyro I’ve ever had, a traditional Greek dinner with beef and sides, and a pastry shop with ice cream. All stops had wine or spirits to complement the food. Excellent advice on shopping and bars for later, too!
Dana_J, Jun 2025
Definitely recommend this tour. Our family toured on the first day in Greece in order to acclimate to the time change. We learned so much about Greek culture and traditions and places to visit while eating delicious food.
Katie_R, Jun 2025
Amy did a great job of taking us around to delicious food locations. There were 8 in our group. We went to 5 different restaurants— a deli for bread, cheeses, and meats, a salad location, gyros, a main dish that included melt in your mouth beef, and delicious dessert of cake and ice cream. All authentic and generous portions plus pairing with appropriate liquid refreshment. Her history of the foods added to the enjoyment.
