Guide was great. History and architecture mixed in. Food was awesome and there was a lot more than I expected…I was very full by the end! Great tour! Only recommendation for improvement- perhaps guide could carry ponchos? We got caught in a heavy rain and did not have an umbrella. Poor planning on our part

Our guide, Eva, was wonderful! Her dynamic personality brought the culture of Greek food alive. The tour captures the everyday staples of Greek cuisine. Eva gave us a sneak peak of the food markets where cheese, fishes, spices & herbs are sold and topped the tour off with family style meal amongst our new friends. A great way to get to know the city! Definitely recommend!

A fabulous tour. Kostas was a very knowledgeable and generous host. The conversation was rich and interesting and we went over time (which was great). It was wonderful to get a little taste of Athens from a local. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.
