Meeting Rachel was like meeting a friend in a strange new place. We felt completely at ease and enjoyed each adventure.

Truly amazing and once in a lifetime experience! Could it recommend enough!!

Absolutely fantastic. You’ll eat a LOT of food, meet some really friendly people who are part of the local food scene and get a behind the scenes look into Athens. Highly recommend this - it was deeply personal and delicious!

What a great way to see and learn about the city! Michalis was an excellent guide, taking us to places we would never have found on our own, ordering food we wouldn’t have tried on our own, and showing us just how friendly the people are. I highly recommend this experience.

My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful afternoon walking and eating our way through several neighborhoods in Athens with Rachel And Michalis. It was without a doubt the highlight of our visit to the city -- an experience we couldn't have had without them. They gave us an accessible understanding of Athenian culture through food and friendship. Thank you, Rachel and Michalis!

Rachel was so friendly and personable! She customized the tour to our group based on places we had already been and on food we had already eaten so that we could be sure to try new things. She also was full of excellent local recommendations — hole-in-the-wall type shops and restaurants to fill the rest of our trip to Athens. We will keep in touch!

My husband and I were very excited about Greek food much before we boarded our flight to Greece. We both love food and Rachel did a wonderful job introducing us to the cuisine. We thought it was especially helpful because we did the food tour on our first day in Athens and we’d already learned enough to enjoy the food during the rest of our trip.

I let Rachel know that I’m vegetarian several days before the tour and she made sure I was comfortable and that we went to places that had vegetarian options. During the food tour, Rachel also took us around the the nice streets and other historic sites of Athens which was a great experience as well. We also made good friends with our fellow- tourists. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Greece for the first time and is interested in eating authentic Greek food. read less

We booked the 1pm tour but I was feeling sick during the tour and needed to end it after 15 mins. Rachel’s son, Sam bought me medication from pharmacy and walked us back to our Airbnb. They also allowed us to reschedule it to a later one. The 2nd tour was led by Michalis and Rachel joined halfway. It was a fun 3.5-hour to share our personal stories, talk about Greek food, Greek culture. They also showed us some local spots in Plaka and tips, it definitely helped us to plan our remaining trip in Athens. read less

Rachel (and her sun Sam, who was subbing in for Michalis) were just great. They clearly knew not only the areas and the places we went, but a number of the local purveyors whom we visited.

Their insights on local and global culture were invaluable, and their sharing of the history and significance of the foods that we ate was very interesting. read less

Was a wonderful experience. Didn't feel rushed and Rachel was amazing. More than enough food and everything tasted amazing. I will definitely do this tour again. Best thing to book for your first thing to do in Athens

Rachel and Michalis are extremely friendly and kind, This is a very good experience and we are very glad that we got to spend the time with them, eating delicious food and learning about Greece

Had a wonderful time! Especially loved the cats

Amazing tour! Get ready to experience many different markets and a lot of food! This tour was fun and engaging for my four children as well.

HIGHLY recommend. DELICIOUS food.

Rachel is incredibly lovely and warm. You’ll leave full!!

Stops were unique and memorable. Felt less like a tourist & more like Rachel was my local friend showing me around her city.

Recommending this to all my friends who go to Athens. Perfect to get a glimpse of the city.

This experience is really nice and worthy. Rachel is considerate, knowledgeable, kind etc. I have experienced local Greek life including fish/meat market, spice shop, sand made coffee. I have tasted many wonderful and interesting food which I won’t have found it by myself at all. Recommend strongly

BEST Tour EVER!! This tour is a must if you come to Athens. Rachel and Sam are MARVELOUS! Felt like we were hanging out with dear friends. They were prompt and easy to meet up with. Excellent locations, great personalization and tons of fun. Tried more food than we could even handle.

They are fun, funny, warm and welcoming and well know around the city. And they gave good personal tips for safety and great experience while in Greece and visiting other islands.

Definitely recommended! read less

Not usual a tour type of guy because I lead tours myself, but has such a good time with Rachel and Michalis. You really can feel the love they have for their community and I can’t recommend it enough

What an amazing tour!! Best Airbnb experience I have yet to take!! They took us to some incredible markets and let us taste some of the best foods you can possibly find in Greece. They were both so knowledgeable and friendly, made my kids and myself feel like freinds from the moment we met them. This tour is an exceptional value best thing you can do in athens.

Both Rachel and Michalis are so personable and such warm, friendly people that it made the tour that much better. The food was incredible - be sure to start the tour hungry as I didn’t think I could possibly fit anything else by the end. Not only do you get to savor the food but you learn so much about the importance of the ingredients in Greek history and how foods are grown and enjoyed today. Rachel even went out of her way to help us with transportation issues after the tour, and we are so grateful to her and Michalis for all they did to present us with how beautiful Athens and Athenians are. We will highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Athens!! read less

Best experience in Athens!! This tour is exactly the kind of local experience we were looking for. Often, airbnb experiences are actually a company that has several tour guides and you never know which one you're going to get. Not this one! Rachel and Michalis are the ones who gave us the tour.

We started the day and they immediately handed us food! Then, they took us around Athens with a great mix of history, anecdotes, while making a few stops for delicious food and ouzo. They were also incredibly kind and happy to help us with anything we wanted.

We were a group of 3 and there were 2 others in our group. There was enough time in the experience for all of us to get to know each other a little bit and learn about Greek culture, past and present.

My wife is a vegetarian and they were very accommodating for that as well.

Highly recommend! Thank you, Rachel and Michalis! read less

Rachel was fun and full of passion for Athens! It was truly wonderful to share an evening with her.

She showed us fabulous hospitality and was excited to help us find food we didn’t try yet in Athens.

I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a wonderful evening full of food and drink while in the city!

Great value and wonderful tasting experience!

We toured with Maik and had an amazing day! Maik has done all the work of finding the hidden gems of Athens to share with you. We did the tour the first day of our trip so we were able to get restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay in Athens. We left the tour with full bellies and plenty of leftovers! I would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing value! Michalis was very generous with his time. Food was all delicious and we tried a large variety of items. Would definitely recommend as an intro to Greek food.

This was a phenomenal tour! I would say was by far my favorite tour of my Athens trip. I wish I would have done this at the start of the tour because I learned so many things about the food and the area. Rachel was a fantastic host and really took time to show us the best areas!

Rachel was amazing, sweet, and engaging! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with her. We learned little bits about Greek and Athenian culture every part of the way and enjoyed amazing food. I would highly recommend doing this tour with them!

We had a wonderful experience, guided by Michalis and his friend, Sam. We walked into interesting streets, saw unique shops, and ate fantastic food. We sampled many varieties of Greek food. Portions were huge and delicious. We highly recommend this tour.

PERFECT way to get to know the culture and food. It was our first visit to Greece and this was the first thing planned on the first day. I would not have done it any different.

This tour was great. I definitely left full of great food!

Had a great experience on this tour and highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the culinary scene in Athens and eating delicious food! Rachel was knowledgeable, considerate, passionate and had some great recommendations in addition to the places we went! It was truly a pleasure!

This was the best tour! We did the 5 pm tour and had the best time seeing the sites and all the recommendations for future spots to eat. Wish we had more time with them! So nice and friendly and go out of the way to make it special. Wonderful people and time and the food spots were a great eat. 10/10 must do this!

The food was delicious even if you’re a picky eater like myself. I’d definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Wonderful experience! Rachel was a delight. We got to try so many foods we never would have discovered on our own. We are so glad we did this our first day in Athens and felt well equiped for the rest of our stay.

Rachel was my guide on a Sunday morning/afternoon tour. She is extremely kind, personable, and knowledgable, and has a unique perspective on the city. She helped me understand Athens culturally in the short amount of time I had there. Do it first thing when you get there to get your bearings of the city! I was only in Athens for a day and Rachel helped me see, learn, and experience so much that I would have never been able to do on my own. She also helped me plan out the rest of my day that I had in Athens, giving me tips for the Acropolis, museums, shops, and bars. And of course the food on the tour!! It is amazing, I ate so much I was full for the entire day. My tour was on a Sunday, so unfortunately the food markets are closed, but there is still a ton to eat and experience on a Sunday so I did not feel like I was missing out (we went to about 4 places, and saw the changing on the guards at parliament). I am recommending this tour as a must to all family and friends visiting Athens! read less

By far the best food tour in Athens. Not only did we learn so much but we made friends on the tour. It was an experience that you can't get anywhere else. Love love love love it!!

Great tour, we were able to see alot of the local spots in a few hours and we had the best lamb dish of our trip!

If you want to see what living in Athens like a local is like, then definitely meet up with Rachel and Michalis!

Our group was a good size -- small enough to not be blatantly "bus people", and the tour was like meeting up with buddies who are from Athens and want to show you around the neighborhood. Michalis is a life-long native and was able to lead us to markets for authentic Greek cuisine -- nothing fancy and no tourist traps -- just real good food and lovely people!

You're guaranteed to leave full of some of the best souvlaki, the most flavorful spiced meats and cheeses, the freshest village salad and white wine grapes and vanilla plums that will blow your mind! It's some of the best food that you'll ever find anywhere in the world -- all from local Greek farmers, butchers, bakers, and fishmongers coming directly from the point of production!

Important tips: Bring an extra stomach because you're going to want to try everything! Also, make sure to take a trip to visit the cats! read less

I wanted to have some sort of immersive experience in the city rather than sitting in my hotel. I was not disappointed at all. I met up with Michalis in Monastiraki and was easy to find him. What was really unique was since this was on a weekday night, it was just myself and Michalis. We had plenty of time to learn from each other and experience some incredible Greek food. I think in the 3.5 hours together, we went to 5 different cafes/tavernas and tried something different in each location. And, it was kind of designed to be like a multi-course meal, but in different locations. I had a great time walking around Athens in places I would have never found on my own or thought to access. Michalis opened my eyes to the great people and places of Athens and the food that comes with it all! I highly recommend this tour!!!! read less

This was such an amazing experience! I would highly recommend doing this tour first thing in Athens. You really get to learn the culture and food! Rachel was so knowledgeable about the culture and sensitive to certain needs. We really enjoyed our time and would recommend this to any friend traveling to Athens !

I had a wonderful tour with Michalis. He was friendly, insightful and easy going. I especially liked his interaction with the local vendors. The stops we made were just perfect. The food was delicious and folks were friendly. At the end of the tour, I was stuffed and left with great knowledge of foods around Athens. I highly recommend Rachel and Michalis.

Would do this again! Thank you!

Great food and was super interesting to see the meat and fish markets. Michhalis was very nice and informative.

What an amazing way to see the city!!! This is not just a good experience, this is a cultural experience. I think tourists always say they want to get off the beaten path away from fellow tourists and immerse themselves in the culture. This is the best way to do it. If you truly want the best experience of Greek and Athenian culture select this experience!

Just completed this experience with Michelis last week .... dont think about about. JUST DO IT ! you will not regret it. The food portion size and quality was amazing.

Michaelis did a wonderful job giving us the background and the food to sample. I enjoyed the tour, definitely couldn't have found the food on my own.

Rachel and Mike had a really unique background and a true love for the city that made our tour a lot of fun. We learned a lot of history of Athens as well as Greek culture that would have been hard to get from reading plaques or going on larger tours. Thank you Rachel and Mike for such a fun experience on our first trip to Greece! We’ll definitely be back!

A Great food tour that showed off some classic Athenian cuisine. We were also shown a number of other areas that we would have otherwise not found.

Rachel and Michalis were super engaged and welcoming guides. They shared their personal stories around the food we ate and places we visited, so it really felt like getting a local view of the city. They were super forthcoming with other recommendations in the city, and even put us in contact with their friends in other parts of Greece to help get recommendations for the next stops in our trips!

Rachel was a great tour guide. I actually did two tours with her because one was on Sunday when the market is usually closed. We tried many delicious local foods, and I felt like I learned a lot about the Greek way of life and Greece in general. Thank you Rachel for a great intro to Athens.

This was the BEST food tour I have ever been on! Rachel and Mike gave us an immersive look into the Greek food culture- we explored markets, stores, and local restaurants. They were so welcoming, their passion for sharing the Athens culture was obvious in the stories they shared. We had a GREAT time, definitely a must if you are visiting Athens!

Amazing!! Loved our tour with Michalis! This was so much more than a food tour. He has such a great understanding of Athens and it’s food. My favorite part was the produce markets where Michalis talked with the vendors and we got to try many things.

This was our favorite part of our short stay in Athens. I highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of considering an experience like this!

We had a great experience and learnt the food and culture of Greece. It was a friendly flow of conversation giving insight of local foods. We could have never done this on our own. I highly recommend this tour! You will not regret the time and money spent on this experience.

Rachel was a truly wonderful host and our tour felt like hanging out with a family friend! The food was awesome, the conversation was even better, and the guidance on local activities and things to do was great and tailored to our travel tastes. Rachel customized the tour based on our interests and food preferences and was such a pleasure to be around!

We had an amazing time and easy to get to. Perfect tour especially for our first day, Rachel made us feel very welcomed, she has tons of insight of this beautiful city.

Rachel is very kind and down to earth, great company to be around. Thank you so much! read less

loved this tour— it felt like a food tour of athens with that cool family member who moved here and knows all the local spots!

Rachel was incredibly helpful in getting us acclimated to the surrounding neighborhoods and providing us with many useful suggestions for our time and where to eat and drink in Athens. She was very friendly and personable with many stories and is passionate for what she does. Come prepared to eat. We stopped at several traditional Greek tavernas and having that local connection made all the difference and set us up for making some other good choices for upcoming meals. Highly recommended! read less

Our tour was excellent! Rachel was friendly and patient and made the whole experience awesome!

This was hands down the best tour we’ve done! If you want to see the real Athens and avoid expensive, touristy sites then this tour is for you. It’s so much more than a food tour.

They have a wonderful tour planned for you and as all others mentioned, come hungry! We had two nice meals along with traditional and different snacks then we have encountered in our own exploration of Greek food elsewhere. One of the fascinating stops was a 100 year old coffee shop, the meat market, and some of the hidden Greek restaurants without even signs on their doors identifying them. Olives, desserts, and even a special sausage loaf of a surprising delicacy await you as well as great stories about traditions, interesting locations to go, and two new friends. read less

We really enjoyed our morning as well as afternoon and we’re sorry we had to say goodbyes. The gents were at the fruit stalls exactly as what was communicated to us. We learned so much about food and the Greek culture as well as demonstrations on how pies were made. We tried many delicacies as well as wine. Mike and Sam walked us to the metro as well as explained how to get to other places as well as points of interest. We encourage everyone to take this tour it’s terrific fun and a great way to immerse yourself into the Greek Culture. read less

This was a highlight of my trip to Athens. Food is such a connecting force and a form of storytelling in every culture. Rachel is a storyteller and passionate about Athens and food and she radiated that in the tour. Left very full and tried some amazing dishes I wouldn’t have known to try on my own. Thank you Rachel!!

We had so much fun with Rachel! Our group was the perfect size to feel personally welcomed but also have a few new friends. Rachel told us about the history and meaning behind each dish we tried and she gave us tips on how to spend the rest of the trip.

Michaelis was an amazing host. Very engaging and really wants you to have a good time. He provides a ton of foods and drinks. Fairly easy walking.

We had Mike to start the tour. Weather was pretty bad but he did a great job of not only providing the tour and info, along with stories and history, but also kept in mind the state of our group. Stopped in places out of the rain or in the warmth.

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to Athens - in addition to tasting traditional Greek food, you will make wonderful new friends with Rachel and Maik. Thank you both for being so much fun!! read less

Our food tour around Athens with Maik was fantastic! He was very personable, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. His ability to describe the food, culture, and history of both made the experience very enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens for their first time and to do it early in your trip.

A great way to explore Athens. Nothing beats learning, laughing, eating and drinking! Rachel was super thoughtful and knowledgeable. A must for all!

This tour was our favorite part of Athens! Rachel and Michalis were so welcoming and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make recommendations for us even before the tour started. The food on the tour was AMAZING and we loved exploring areas that we never would have found on our own. I highly recommend this to everyone. So much fun!

The food tour with Michalis was nothing short of amazing! It was extremely informative. There was no way I would have found all of these restaurants and ventured out to try most of the local foods. Explored the surrounding areas of Psiri and Monastiraki. An amazing experience and very useful information for daily activities and restaurants in Athens.

Great food tour in Athens. Really loved getting to know a local Athenian who showed us how Greeks shop and dine. Would never have experienced some of the unique foods and local customs without the tour. To top it off, Michalis was extremely friendly, respectful and an overall great tour guide. Highly recommended

Rachel and her son Sam were excellent tour guides and brought us several lovely places in Athens. The history, church, changing of the guard, yogurt, and dinner selections were all wonderful.

Rachel is so lovely!! I ended up being the only person on the tour, but I had an incredible time. Rachel just really took care of me and I came away from the tour belly and heart full!! Incredible experience - highly recommend!!

First of all, food tour are always a good idea, but when we went with Rachel on the food tour, she blew it out if the water. Not only did we try anaconda foods and try tasty coffee, we also make some great friends. You have to do this tour. You learn so much and eat so well.

We loved the tour! Unlike some other AirBnB Experiences we have done in other cities, the hosts of this experience are the same people giving the tour. They don’t outsource guides, which means you are getting a really authentic and high quality experience.

The tour overall was really unique and worthwhile; we wouldn’t have been able to do it on our own, especially wandering through the bustling fish and meat markets.

We were glad we skipped breakfast, because there is a LOT of food to eat on this tour!

Highly recommended; it was a true highlight of our visit to Athens. read less

Great tour. Was a solo traveler but was made to feel as part of the group. Learned new things and even had food to take home for dinner! Highly recommend.

Really cool experience. We like to do food tours on all our trips and this one was definitely a favorite! Michalis is a wealth of knowledge on Athens culture and all you have to do is mention one thing or another and he’s off telling you all kinds of related facts you never knew!

A great tour with an enthusiastic guide to a never ending series of delicious meals.

This had everything you could want from a food tour. You felt that the hosts had picked the best places to go around the center of Athens. Rachel was our host for this trip and she communicated constantly with us to make sure we were happy with each stop in the tour. We spent more time where we wanted to stay and left areas that were less appealing. She even gave us the true Greek experience of encouraging us to eat well after we had eaten at least twice as much as we expected!

Make sure you go hungry and bring a bag to carry the leftovers! If you don't want leftovers then the hosts have already thought ahead and donate the food to a series of great causes. (I mean they thought of everything) read less

I loved the tour. I recommend to do this tour immediately upon arriving in Athens so you get the lay of the land, and where to go to eat authentic Greek food.

Michalis was amazing, he’s a wealth of knowledge. He took us through a bunch of different markets, cafes, tavernas, narrow streets, and alley ways. The pace of the tour was perfect, all in terms of walking, stopping, and food intake. There is a mix of tastings and actual meals. On our tour, there was some leftover to bring back to our room, most excellent!
My favorite was the taverna in the meat market (although it’s hard to pick a favorite)
Not only do I highly recommend this tour, I’ll do it again next time I come to Athens, OPA! read less

This is an excellent experience and a great value for your money and - perhaps more importantly - time. You see and eat so much. We did the ten o’clock tour and followed the advice to not eat breakfast. That was certainly the smart thing to do! Friendly host and the time just flew by!

Rachel was very friendly and made it easy to feel comfortable, she made the experience feel like one of kind.
You try food restaurants that are off the beaten path and that aren’t filled with tourists. It was a great first Airbnb experience and I would definitely do it again.

Wow.

First of all, if you’re looking for a food tour of Athens, look no further. Seriously, I mean it.

This was 3.5 hours of pure enjoyment. From the delicious food to the streets, alleys, restaurants, and genuinely kind people we visited it was nonstop entertainment, happiness and culture immersion.

My wife and I had a great time on this food tour! The food was amazing, but I think what was truly special was feeling comfortable to ask questions about Greek culture and way of life. Very nice way to spend an evening especially if you are only in town for a few nights (as in our case). Thanks so much!

Wonderful, fully recommend!

Do yourself a favor and book this experience! Of all the food tours I’ve taken around the world this has been my favorite!

Such a memorable afternoon for my stomach and heart! These guys truly know all the hidden gems and have such unique storytelling to pair with it. I am traveling solo and felt like just a group of friends hanging out. I will be dreaming of the bougatsa forever!

The tour ended with hugs and offers of contacting them if you needed anything while here, we did and they were so quick to answer and send us exactly where we needed to go the next day.
Thank you so much for an amazing tour.

We have done food tours in many places over the years and this one was really one of the best. We learned about the culture, ate delicious food, and got a terrific overview of Athens. Rachel was friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. Perfect from start to finish!

I misunderstood the meeting time but Rachel and Michalis were nice enough to accommodate me to another spot. I was introduced to the most popular Greek foods. I really enjoyed this tour. Michalis was engaged with us the whole time. He took his time to explain everything. We did not feel rushed and it was a time well spent. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

We would recommend their tour to anyone that is looking for a walking tour of the Agora, Plaka and learned about some interesting info on the Cathedral, and some secret spots off of the beaten path to sit and have a glass or two of Ouzo. She also gave us some recommendations of places to visit which we will search for on the way back into Athens after our Greek Isle adventure
Thank you Rachel and congratulations to you and your fiancé on your upcoming marriage

Michalis is a great host and is passionate about showing visitors some of the great food in Psirri and Monastiraki. Protip: Arrive hungry as you will have lots of delicious things to eat along the way.

If this is your first trip to Athens and you’re looking for a food/walking tour adventure, this is definitely a fun experience! We did the tour on a Sunday so markets were closed but we sampled lots of local eats at a wide variety of (non-touristy) stops throughout the evening.

Great evening exploring and enjoying lots of traditional Greek eats!

Take this food tour! Rachel is fantastic. I had been in Athens a week, joined by a friend who just arrived. We saw new neighborhoods and I learned about things I'd seen but didn't understand. In addition to fantastic food, we learned a fair amount about Greek culture and current economic climate. Come with an open mind and an empty stomach. You'll discover many gems.
