Absolutely top notch experience!
The food was amazing. The conversation with our host and the other tour guests was very enjoyable, and we definitely go to see and taste things we would have missed on our own. Michalis provided great recommendations for where to go after the tour as well!

Michalis was an excellent tour guide, he showed us some great places to eat and was very knowledgeable of local cuisine.

Incredible food tour. Extremely knowledgeable about what is authentic Greek food and what is not. I have a gluten intolerance so I’m used to not walking away full from any eating situation. I was stuffed on this journey and they went out of their way to make sure I could participate in the meals.

It doesn't get any better. Great trips through a non tourist area. lots of great tapas and amazing Gyro. Had a chance to go through the markets and see some great stalls and buy some amazing spices. Made some great friends and would highly recommend!

This tour might have been our favorite part of our Greece trip. We learned so much about the Greek food and culture from
Rachel. The food was amazing, Rachel is so much fun, and it was nice to meet others around the world on the experience. Highly recommend!!!!

If you’re looking for a fun, exciting foodie experience in Athens this is the tour for you. Rachel was an amazing guide and made the entire experience enjoyable and and fun. The food was delicious and we had a true taste of Athenian culture. Thank you Rachel!

We love Rachel! She was so much fun and gave us great insight to the true Athenian culture! So good! Great meeting new friends and experiencing places we would have never found! Book now, you won’t regret it!!

What a great experience and introduction to Athens. Loved every minute of it. Worth the money and the time.

Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children ages 10 and 12 years old went on the food tour around the market yesterday afternoon. The food was all wonderful, and the explanations were great. Rachel is a wonderful guide. She was so sweet with our kids, and they were engaged the entire tour. 100% recommend. Take the tour on your 1st day in Athens to later visit Rachel’s authentic recommendations!

A must when visiting Athens, especially at the beginning of your trip! We were able to visit local eateries and markets away from the touristy hotspots. Thanks to our hosts for providing a knowledgeable and passionate experience of the food and city.

Absolutely wonderful food tour!!! I’ve been on several food tours, and what sets this one stand apart is the husband and wife team who run the tour. They were so great and enjoyed what they do. We got to try so many different food and drinks and some great stories to go along with them! Would highly recommend!

Wonderful hosts! Very kind, hard working, and helped us have a wonderful experience. We learned a lot and loved the stories that Rebecca and Michael shared! Tons of delicious food. The hosts were so thoughtful and are local experts. Thank you!

Rachel did an excellent job of making us feel welcome even though we were her only couple of the night. Very thoughtful and great representation of Greek cuisine and storytelling.

This was our favorite part of our trip to Athens! Amazingly enough, it wasn’t just the food that made it so incredible! Mike was outstanding!

He shared his personal experiences, which made us all feel like instant friends! My favorite part was to watch Mike’s interactions with all of his friends in the markets and shops that we went to! Don’t get me wrong-the food was unforgettable! Sitting outside at a Greek taverna, surrounded by 15 or so Greek men, having Mike explain what a typical day looks like for them. And then having one beautiful plate of food brought out at a time was something that I will remember forever. I tried things that I would have never thought to stop and try while there. You will not regret signing up for this wonderful experience! read less

You will absolutely love this tour. Excellent guide and his choices of cuisine were amazing. My friends and I loved it and would do it again. The foods were all delicious.

Cannot recommend this food tour enough! Every bite was pure deliciousness and Michalis allowed us to taste everything Greek cuisine had to offer and provided lots of insight into how, what and where everyday Greeks eat. Super great value and lots of food so come hungry!

One of the best food tours I have done. Michalis took us to the best food spots that we would have not been able to find on our own! After the tour we ended up frequenting the food spots Michalis took us to because they were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this experience while you are in Athens, you won’t regret it

I had been looking forward to this experience throughout my first 8 days in Greece and it definitely did not disappoint.

As other reviewers have said.... come hungry and you'll leave quite full! The details shared in the markets we went to (only available during the day time tours) and in the neighboring streets of Psiri made for an absolutely perfect experience and the food and drinks we were able to consume will not be forgotten. Anyone trying to decide on which of the many local tours to book should look no further. Book this one and say hello to the cats for me at the end. You won't be disappointed! read less

Rachel was an amazing and knowledgeable guide! We enjoyed checking out her secret spots off the beaten path and even tried a special exotic treat. The tour included more food and drink than we anticipated. We left full of good food and good information.

This was my first food tour and it was excellent. We sampled different delicious foods and learned the history of Greece as it impacted the cuisine. I had no idea how to tell the quality of olive oil or ouzo before this tour. We learned so much! Most appreciated was Rachel’s warmth and patience toward our very unique group.

loved the tour.. wanted it to last all day. learned a lot about the food n Greece. Can not wait to come back !!! Food was awesome!! and our tour guide!! Very nice people!

Great food tour with an awesome host. He knew all of the great places and made us feel welcome! Recommend to anyone!

My wife and I have done several food tours before, and this was the best one we've ever been on!
Rachel was a great host, she was caring and attentive, and introduced us to many Greek dishes we wouldn't have known about otherwise.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Greek food and Athens in general, all while eating and drinking delicious local offerings.

My husband and I went on the noon tour with Rachel who was a wonderful host! Weather was luckily perfect for a food tour and the group was intimate enough to get personal attention.

Weather was luckily perfect for a food tour and the group was intimate enough to get personal attention. Rachel, for us, really made the tour what it is- she’s such a warm and welcoming presence and offered great stories and history of Athens food,, as well as tips and recommendations for whatever you ask. The market area was a particularly unique experience- as much as “local and sustainable” is thrown around in the US, where we’re from, it’s the way of life here and really gives you an appreciation for cooking and eating what’s in season and available fresh that day. The food and drink we had was traditional- simple and fresh, but our favorite was the dessert Rachel chose- wow! Highly recommend this tour early during your visit to Athens! read less

Great food tour. You get to see and eat at the meat market. You visit lots of fresh food and spice vendors and sample some of their treats.
The food, the talk of the history and culture were excellent!!

Touring in the markets with Rachel is a fun experience, she's a bit of a local celebrity you know. We had lots of fun, good food and great insights and stories mostly related to food of course.

This was a great way to see and feel Athens! I say “feel” because, like Rachel points out in the tour, there is a certain vibe to Athens that was a total surprise to me! This ancient city is much more “happening” than I expected, and Rachel and Maik really showed us that! Finding them was easy.

I say “feel” because, like Rachel points out in the tour, there is a certain vibe to Athens that was a total surprise to me! This ancient city is much more “happening” than I expected, and Rachel and Maik really showed us that! Finding them was easy. There was a group that was late because of a time zone mishap, but we waited for them and called to make sure they would find us! Not an inconvenience to the rest of us at all and I’m glad it worked out. The food was great and Rachel and Maik accommodated EVERYONE’S diets and needs graciously. This was certainly more than a food tour, it was a culture tour as well.

Another note, Rachel was extremely helpful when it came to other things to do in Athens, whether it was regarding covid tests, metro/taxis or (obviously) restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend! read less

Michalis was our guide and made the most of it. Due to the threat of thunderstorms he moved us to the next day which, luckily, turned out to be lovely weather. Meeting instructions were great, food sampling was excellent and the various venues we stopped at were interesting and diverse. The olive tasting was my favorite although the market and calamari was a close second. I definitely recommend this experience.

Our food tour was simply wonderful! There was a great group of knowledge and backgrounds in our group. Our host and tour guide could not gave made the experience any better!
If you want a run down if Greek authentic dishes and desserts, and the most easy going young lady like myself!
This was well worth the money and memories were made!
❤️ Terri and DJ

A fun and informative overview of the central food market and Greek food ways.

Perfect experience if you want to familiarize yourself with local Athens. We loved it!

This was the top tour on my trip. The food was great. The places Rachel took us were wonderful. I learned much more than anticipated. Rachel was wonderful and explained things so very well, she was awesome. Such an unique learning experience.

Rachel was great! I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and trying/learning about various foods that I’ve never had before

Great tour. Michalis made a point of taking the time of getting to know everyone personally. He helped everyone in the group get to know one another. He took us to the places that only locals know about, and explained why the food was chosen for us to taste. Michalis was enthusiastic, and fun to be with. It was a fun experience.

Well, first, let me point out that I got a lunch and dinner out of it plus 4 hours of great entertainment! This is some amazing value. Besides that we got to explore Athens' food markets, quaint restaurants beloved by the locals and wandered around beautiful neighborhoods. Highly recommend this tour. It is so much fun!!!

The food was good. You got to try several different dishes and I enjoyed them all. The host was very sweet and her language skills were good if that is important for some. She also gave restaurant recommendations. The tour was a good experience but it did feel a bit touristy and not quite like the types of experiences on Airbnb.

This was an amazing tour. Rachel and Michelin were so sweet and fun and the whole experience felt like getting food and exploring with friends.

If I could give this experience more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend this food tour for an intimate, high quality, informative experience of Greek food and to avoid tourist traps. Thank you Rachel and Michalis! read less

They’re wonderful! Book this now : )

We enjoyed our food tour with Rachel And Michalis! Great hosts-they are fun and full of energy and you can tell how much they love sharing Greek food and culture. Lots of food (come hungry!) and definitely hidden places that we would not have found on our own. This was a great experience!

The tour was so fun! We were able to try so many different things and definitely felt like we got the local insight. Mike and Rachel were so lovely and gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay.

We loved this tour! We booked this the first day in Greece and our flight was delayed meaning we weren’t getting to the location in time. Rather than cancel on us, Michalis was extremely accommodating and contacting Rachel to see where she was once we were in the area.

It shows they really care for their tour and happiness of the clients. Rachel was also a lot of fun and was full of jokes. The food was amazing, and a lot of it! We got to take quite a bit back to our hotel after for a late night meal. Rachel also gave us amazing recommendations for the rest of our stay that were both a huge highlight of our stay in Athens. Overall, I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone. read less

Rachel is a wonderful host who is engaging, helpful, and knowledgable. She is patient and very considerate of all her guests. And has great stories and information, seems to be well respected by the vendors too! I highly recommend this tour. A great way to get a taste of Athens food, culture and history!

Great tour from Rachel who deftly navigated us through the enormous Central Market and brought to interesting shops and tavernas where we sampled an array (big array) of local delicacies.

Amazing local food! We learned so much and really got to experience authentic Athens!

My fiancé and I knew we would enjoy this food tour but didn’t know it would be one of highlights of our trip to Athens. Rachel and Michalis are both so kind and welcoming and treated us like family. We enjoyed some really cool spots to eat that we would never have found otherwise. Highly recommend!! (And come with hungry bellies).

Amazing experience going to many hidden gem spots in Athens with a local! We had some incredible dishes and learned the history behind them as well. Mike was so friendly- we had a great time!

If you’re going to Athens for two days, you definitely want to tour with Maik and Rachel!

Maik brought us on an incredible journey through the city Athens tasting food all locally sourced and away from the crowded “popular” spots.

Our tour with Rachel was spectacular! Our group got stuck in traffic and Rachel graciously waited for us to arrive. She was so personable and attentive and was a fantastic guide. Definitely arrive hungry! We ate so many great dishes and learned about traditional Greek cuisine. Rachel and her husband know all the best spots! Don't miss this tour when you come to Athens!

If you want to try unique and delicious Greek dishes you’ll probably never find in your home country take this tour. Also come hungry because they feed you so well on it.

Rachel was an excellent host. She knows the city very well from both a local’s point of view as well as as an expat due to her spending a large portion of her life outside Greece. We loved every food and drinks she brought us to! This is more than just a food tour. Highly recommend!

Rachel was an outstanding guide. Knowledgeable, fun and generous in the portions of food and drink provided. I will be telling everyone I know to take this wonderful tour. A highlight of my trip to Athens!

He kept us entertained with stories about Greece , Athens, and the local food scene. We stopped at the first, yes, I said first restaurant, had a wonderful Greek salad with fresh tomatoes, red onions, cucumber, olive oil and more. Then chickpeas, calamari, zucchini balls and wonderful bread. We added a little glass of ouzo for those who wanted to participate, while enjoying lively conversation and good stories from Michealis. Then a short walk to the second local restaurant, tucked away down a short hallway to a lively patio where we enjoyed local wine, fava bean spread, fried cheese, pork bites and beef and pork sausage. Yum! More great conversation and local information in a convivial atmosphere. We finished after another short walk to another local restaurant for Greek coffee and custard pie.
Then we waddled happily back to our Airbnb, full, happy and thoroughly impressed with the food tour. Would definitely recommend this tour and both Michaelis and Rachel as tour guides. read less

We had a bigger group book late and they split into two to accommodate us — Rachel was a total joy to spend time with, so knowledgeable about Athens and its food not to mention a warm human and great storyteller. Just book this, you’ll be glad you did.

Maik was such a great host, and took us to some incredible spots around Athens. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew everybody around town.

A wonderful experience! Rachel and Michalis were knowledgeable, sociable, and gave us the perfect food tour of Athens. We loved it!

Rachel and Michalis were fantastic! Our kids still talk about the food tour as one of the most memorable days during our time in Greece. We have a couple picky eaters, but Rachel and Michalis made sure we had something for everyone.

Great tour of local shops and restaurants, with plenty of tips and great insights on Greek culture!

Great tour, we ended up doing the tour alone which made it easier to accommodate me as a vegetarian. Don’t eat before you come, there is so much delicious food! Highly recommend .

We had a wonderful evening with Rachel. The absolute most enjoyable food tour ever! Rachel shared interesting stories about Athens and it’s food. She took us to several authentic places and ordered a variety of dishes. Definitely go hungry and thirsty! Thank you Rachel for sharing some of Athens secrets!

Very knowledgeable guide and great value! I would definitely recommend this food tour to anyone looking to get a local taste of Athens.

This was beyond an amazing experience and much, much more than I had expected. I was solo, but Michalis made me feel so comfortable and immediately made friends with everyone on the tour.

Don’t think about it. Just do it. Best choice I’ve made in Athens.

Rachel was an absolutely amazing tour guide! She took us to several locations with a lot of food per place. All the food we tried was authentic and so delicious. The wine and ouzo were also a nice treat. Rachel was super knowledgeable and fun. We highly recommend this tour!

Our experience with Rachel was great! The food was awesome and we got to try places we would have never thought to go to. She also told us other places to try afterward which also tried and it was incredible. Would definitely do again and highly recommend!

Great tour. Lots of food. Come hungry. Rachel was fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

This was truly a fun and super interesting experience!! Our guide Rachel made us feel welcomed, included, and shared so much of Greek culture in a way that was genuine and unpretentious. We ate a lot and she had a story about every ingredient and every dish. I would book every single toor Rachel has. Highly recommended!!!

Rachel was an amazing host who made sure everyone was having an amazing time. Really great way to see the real Athens outside of the typical tourist experiences

This is so much more than a food tour, it’s also a great way to make friends. We loved every stop, Rachel was such an awesome host. Don’t eat before, you will be well fed.

This tour was wonderful! Prepare to nap afterward because it's a lot of food. The personal care and passion from the guide made all the difference. I have done food and tasting tours before but this was one of the best.

Excellent tour! Must do.
SO. MUCH. FOOD. .. and all super delicious
I think what was best about this tour is that I got to try to many things and hear all about them while doing so
Rachel was a fantastic guide

Amazing tour! Excellent way to get off the beaten path and experience Athens as a local

A great way to explore Athens as a local. You will be so full!

If you're in Athens, this is the food tour you want to do. Rachel is an amazing guide and we went to a couple of places we definitely would not have found on our own.

This tour was so amazing. Rachel made the experience personal, she was incredibly knowledgeable, and she was so fun. We got to know Athens much better through this tour, and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed it! Learned a lot about Greek food and the culture. And the food was tasty. Thank you so much!

Loved this experience so much. The food was so unique and traditional in locals spots with live music and lots of interaction with locals. Rachel and Maik know everyone in town and you get to feel like a real local. Even got their friends giving us raki shots as we walked around.

This is an absolute must do experience in Athens. Amazing company , great story telling and fantastic food. New friends and so much fun. Just book it and have the best fun!

This was one of our best experiences while in Athens. I highly recommend this tour. We were able to taste and experience things we would have otherwise missed out on. We visit little hidden gems, and heard great stories. The tour a completely worth it, especially if you like to try new foods, and learn about where your food comes from.

Rachel was a most outstanding tour leader with fantastic knowledge of the history and local cuisine. So very glad I had this experience while in Athens and highly recommend!

So happy I booked this tour with Rachel! She showed us traditional greek foods and drinks that I otherwise would not have had during my trip. She made the experience really fun and unique!

We had a great time on the tour! I liked that it was solely focused on Greek food - some other food tours I’ve been on combined a lot of extra info on history, architecture, etc but I actually appreciated that this one had food at the center.

Rachel was a great host. Took us to some great places that were delicious and gave us a real vibe for what local every day life is like in Athens.

Great food tour. Did not try just the typical, mainstream Greek foods. Lots of new stuff we would never have tasted otherwise.

We had a fantastic time and Rachel was so knowledgeable and helpful.

Tried many different kinds of Greek food that were all delicious. Michalis was very knowledgeable of the area and knew the best places for specific dishes. Would highly recommend!

amazing tour!! the food was delicious and we went to places I never would have found on my own!

Mike took us to places we would never know about through a guidebook. We even had souvlaki at the place where he and Rachel held their wedding reception.

Great experience

This was an excellent tour for me as a solo traveler! You get to see authentic parts of town where the locals eat! The vibe was fun and easy-going and the group I went with stayed in touch during our stay and went to dinner the next night to a place Rachel recommended!

It was so cool exploring the neighborhood on this tour! Exactly what we wanted.

Must do food tour in Athens! So much food for a great price - along with a great guide who teaches you so much about greece and greek food. The tour was so much fun and the only one available around 5pm time frame - Don’t miss out on this tour on your trip to Athens.

Fantastic tour. Food was delicious and tour was fun! Definitely recommend.

This tour was a wonderful way to experience Athens. Amazing food and excellent company. Highly recommend.

Absolutely recommend taking this tour. Mike was an excellent guide and it was such a wonderful way to experience Athens. Excellent food and company. 10/10 recommend.

We had a wonderful time on this tour! It was the first thing we did when we got to Athens, & it was such a great kickoff to our vacation! Rachel was very personable & made the tour feel like we were hanging out with friends 🙂
def recommend this tour!!

The food was fantastic and we learned a lot about Greek culture. Definitely recommend this tour!

Rachel's food tour was awesome! She was very engaging and very atuned to people's likes and dislikes and offered a variety of options which I really enjoyed. Thanks again!

Best spanakopita and Greek honey I've ever had! I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys trying delicious, local cuisine.

This was a great experience . Rachael and Michael was very thoughtful and took us to few hidden places that we would never thought to try. Very authentic and local spot.

Rachel was honestly amazing. I learned a lot about Greek food as well as the history and geography of Greek food. She really loves Athens and it shows in her knowledge and excitement for her presentation. I’d 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Athens!

This food tour was the highlight of our time in Athens! The food was amazingggg and Rachel's knowledge was impressive. Do not eat before you go!! So much delicious food to try, you will not leave hungry.

My husband and I booked this tour mainly to try more of the local foods that we might not have gotten a chance to try on our own. Michalis gave us so much more than that; conversation, perspective, and definitely good suggestions for later parts of our trip. I would fully recommend this specific tour to anyone looking for a locals take on delicious food and culture.

You will never find the gems that Rachel and Mike show you. If you’re like me and you appreciate the hot spots but really like to experience the heartbeat of a place which is the dinner table, this is for you!

This experience was very fun. I felt like I was amongst friends. Very comfortable and fantastic experience.

The tour with Rachel was excellent! She made us feel so welcome in Athens and was accommodating of a vegetarian request. Food stops seemed very local/authentic and I enjoyed hearing her stories very much. Would recommend to anyone who wants a friendly guide in Athens. Expect to leave very full and happy!

Not only was Rachel knowledgeable on the food we were eating (which was delicious!) she was knowledgeable on the areas, the culture and the history of the food. She's a great storyteller and can weave the history into each taste. She changed up the menu to accommodate my partner's heritage, so he could taste certain foods from his ancestor's past.

Rachel welcomed questions and curiosities and was able to address any random questions we had. It was more than a food tour, but a tour of Athens, Greek history, and more. We would go on this tour again, certain it is unique every time! read less

Perfectly delicious sampling of some of the best tastes Athens has to offer. We were extremely happy and full after this tour, and definitely tried a lot of things we would’ve never discovered on our own! Such a great value.

Michalis (Mike) was an awesome guide! He seems to know people all over the city. He was funny, thoughtful and kind. And the food was delicious, would highly recommend..great value.

They took the time to get to know us and personalized parts of the tour based on what we were interested in (I love beer, and Rachel made sure that we got different beers in each location). Based on other food tours I had been on, I was honestly expecting a few snacks here and there, but we got 2 whole meals at different tavernas, little snacks from the market along the way, and dessert and coffee to top it all off. It exceeded our expectations and we left the tour with very happy bellies! Don’t miss out on this experience!! read less

The food tour was one of our favorite things to do in Athens. The variety of tastings and the opportunity to hear from Rachel and Michalis was amazing. Thoroughly recommend. Make sure to come hungry!

Amazing tour! Everything was incredibly delicious and had a truly local feel about it. Awesome guide. Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour! Recommended to us by other travelers we met in another city! The food was amazing. The tour was off the beaten track to see an area of Athens not frequented by tourists. Michalis was so wonderful, friends w everyone around town to give us the best experience. Wonderful history and recommendations to make our stay even better. Definitely recommend!

Great food tour, remember to come hungry - there is a lot, lot of food

And finally, the atmosphere they create is so open and friendly that you leave the tour as a group of friends! Highly recommend! read less

Great afternoon food tour with our guide Michalis. We tried a lot of different foods at the many stops. This included sitting down in a few restaurants for multiple dishes. We were definitely full at the end. Definitely recommend this food tour.

We had a great time on our tour with Mike. He was incredibly kind and personable, and we learned so much about Greek food/culture from him. It really felt like we got a local experience. Plus, all the food was so delicious!

This was the best food tour that we did in all of our stays across Greece. So knowledgeable and fun, and truly knew the best places to eat and explore. We fell in love with Athens on this tour!

I absolutely loved our Athens food tour! We had the best food of our entire trip with Rachel. She took us to so many cool spots and was super knowledgeable.

Rachel was such an amazing guide. She is so personable and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and she gave us great dinner recommendations. We’re still stuffed!

The food tour was a great introduction to Greek cuisine. Our host made it fun and informative and we had a great time and left with full bellies! Would suggest booking this on the front end of the trip.

Great food and we loved spending time with new friends.

Wow, this food tour was amazing! My boyfriend and I went on the tour with Rachel, and we had the best time. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough!! It’s worth every penny.

Great little intro to Greek food, very very convenient to take on your first day. They offer later tours as well so if I did this all over again small bite for breakfast and proceed to sightsee for the day, work up an appetite (your going to need it), and then when all the food comes your way you can enjoy!

Amazing tour guides, amazing food, amazing view of Athens!

The food tour was one of our favorite things we did on our flight! Michaelis was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had really good food and learned a lot! Highly recommend!

Michalis was a great tour guide. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Greece

As far as tours go, this might be one of the best ever. There was a lot of delicious food and drink, yes (arrive with an empty stomach!), but we also learned so much about Athens, and local and Greek culture. Rachel was an ideal tour guide. Three-and-a-half hours sounds long, but the time flew by!

Rachel was a fantastic host. She was very friendly with the guests and it is clear that she has established a great relationship with the vendors we visited on our tour. She had a deep knowledge of food and culture and was prepared to ask any question that was asked of her. 10/10 would recommend!

Great tour! Would highly recommend

Best food tour I’ve ever been on! Rachaels love and excitement for the food and history of Athens was palpable and made the experience even better.

Highly recommend it
Suitable options for vegetarians
Delicious food
Michalis is very friendly kind and accommodating.

Mike was an excellent host sharing the history of Greek food and culture. We visited local restaurants and shops tasting a wide array of delicious Greek meze. Lots of food and fun story telling. Highly recommend!

We had an issue with our arriving flight. Michalis and Rachel allowed us to reschedule and the tour was great! Michalis led our tour and answered every question I had. He was informative and helpful and the tour was great. Would recommend!

I really enjoyed my experience, I was a solo traveller and I made friends with the others in my group as it was an intimate setting. For the evening tour it was a sit-down experience at two restaurants with full multi-course meals trying different items. Rachel was super wonderful with explaining the history of Greek food and the differences between Athenian and Greek cuisine.

Rachel was phenomenal!! She was so nurturing and hospitable and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our experience. The food + desserts - 10/10!! We highly recommend booking this experience with Rachel, especially at the start of your trip to Athens!

Thank you Rachel, we look forward to visiting again!!

Learned so much about the food and were introduced to good spots in central Athens that we wouldn’t have explored otherwise

A must do for first timers in Athens! Rachel’s food stops and connections in the city made us feel more like locals rather than tourists!

Michalis was a fantastic guide, incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and all of our expectations were exceeded. All of the food was delicious and it was great exploring authentic cuisine and local shops.

Booked this tour to learn more about Greek food and eat in places not frequented by tourists. It didn’t disappoint! Michalis was a wonderful host and all the food we tried was delicious. We stopped by local shops that we ended up going back to to buy souvenirs. Would def recommend to get an authentic taste of Greece!

Loved the food tour with Michalis! Aside from being an expert on Greek cuisine and culture, he seems like a genuinely nice person. Would recommend this food tour to anyone!

This was a great tour with plenty (more than enough!) excellent food, and Michalis was a wonderful guide - we loved talking with him about his favorite foods, Athens, and traveling! Come hungry to this tour, you'll love it and have plenty of places to go for more meals later in your trip. Thank you, Michalis!

Gave us a great overview of food that is typical in Greece and a look behind the scenes at Greek traditions. Loved it!

We had a lovely tour with Rachel! She is so personable and instantly helps you feel like a friend. Oh and of course the food was amazing !! Thank you Rachel!

Don’t hesitate and just do it! Rachel is so kind and genuine. She provided a little history as you go around on the food tour. She able to tweak it to your liking and what you might not had a chance to try while in Greek. At the end it felt like a friend taking you around town for the best experience. We would definitely book this again.

Highly recommend this food tour around Athens. We had Michal as our host but ran into Rachel towards the end of the tour. They are the sweetest and warmest people. We continued to visit the food spots throughout our trip in Athens. Michal even shared some other restaurants/bars to check out after the tour. Thank you for the delicious experience

I went on this tour with my brother and we both loved it. We got to try a wide variety of traditional Greek food and our guide, Michalis, made sure to take us to the best places. Not only was the food amazing but Michalis was a great guide who was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Make sure to bring your appetite because you will be eating a lot!

Highly recommend! This felt like a night out with my girlfriends. Rachel knows all the best spots!

Rachel was absolutely AMAZING! She picked delicious food for us to try and was flexible with our preferences. We felt like we were visiting a girlfriend showing us around Athens and sharing insightful histories and cultural backgrounds. My friend and I would HIGHLY recommend a tour with Rachel (and Michalis). Plenty of food, drinks and even new friends along way! Thank you Rachel =)

What a great tour for the entire family! Took my 75yo mother and tween daughter and we ALL had a wonderful time! So much delicious food, the right amount of time at each stop and explanations along the way…it made for a unique and rich experience in the city. Michalis made everyone feel comfortable and was sure our needs were met. Highly recommend this experience!

Take this tour if you want to get a thorough feel of the breadth of food available in Athens. Take this tour to meet and support various small merchants in the city and taste their foods and specialties. Take this tour to meet the lovely knowledgeable guides. Just take this tour. You won’t regret it.

Fun way to spend a morning

Specifics: Not much walking, maybe 7 minutes or less between each place. Meats, vegetables, seafood, coffee, wine, ouzo, dessert. I skipped lunch and was glad I did, because there was so much to eat for this dinner tour.

It lasted right around 3.5 hours and the tour guides were happy to help with taxis or a suggestion for a bar if requested. read less

We visited many small vendors selling cured meats, baked goods, olives and capers directly from their farm, the famous fish and meat markets, tried traditional Greek coffee, had an amazing traditional lunch cooked in volcanic rock, tried desserts that were so unique and tasty. We made other stops too but won’t give it all away as that was part of the fun. Don’t miss this food tour as it was the best thing we did in Athens! read less

Loved the food tour with Rachel! So delicious and fun! A great way to end our 2 week trip in Greece! I left so satiated and like I had found a very special experience! Highly recommend!

We had such a great food tour with Rachel and and Michalis while we were in Athens. Not only did we leave stuffed, but we also learned so much about the city, navigating its many neighborhoods and what to look for. On a very hot day, they even offered to move it up to the morning so we could avoid the 106-degree heat! Thank you so much, Michalis!

We had a great time on this tour and ate SO much - highly recommend!

It was our first night in Athens and she walked us through hidden gems of this amazing city. First stop was a locals outdoor bistro that had the freshest vegetables, fish, and delectables straight from the market. The ouzo was high quality and delicious. Then on to a second restaurant where we enjoyed charcuterie (including cured camel - trust me, yum), amazing fried pork in some kind of delicious sauce, and fresh house-made wine. The owner hung out with us for a bit and was super cool and funny. Then homemade Greek pastries and "mud coffee" at a super fun coffee outdoor house. To end the night, Rachel pointed out a few spots where locals enjoy a late night drink, one of which we decided to stay at and shared a few rounds with one of our newfound friends we met on the tour.

Rachel regaled us with interesting stories and fun factoids throughout, making sure we were having fun and enjoying the experience. She pointed out and recommended multiple additional spots to come back to enjoy during our stay that we never would have been able to find or know about on our own.

All in all a great way to start out trip. Highest recommendations. A+ read less

Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She is very warm, inviting, and full of interesting information. Our whole family loved the experience, the fabulous food (I actually woke up craving the food in the middle of the night), and the terrific stories Rachel shared with us. We will be stopping by many of the restaurants, shops, and bars Rachel recommended. You should definitely sign on for this food tour!

Definitely show up hungry, you're gonna eat a lot of food!

This food tour was absolutely amazing! Michalis was very informative about Athen's unique history and had so much information to share about the local cuisine. It was also a hot day and we were kept hydrated at many of the special tour spots along the way. 10/10 I would recommend this tour, especially if you are looking for local insight, personal stories, and to meet Athenian locals.

He was great and it was fun to walk the streets with a local. Told great stories and showed us around the city!

Rachel was a fantastic tour guide. She went above and beyond to make sure we not only had an awesome food tour, but also a great time during our remaining time in athens. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved the tour!! So glad we did it!! We highly recommend it!! Michalis was just wonderful. Super nice person, passionate and very knowledgeable. He really really took the time to share the Greek culture through all the delicious food that he made us try. Everything was so perfect. Two thumbs up!! Thank you

Rachel was so friendly and gave us great insight into Greek food and culture, weaving in her own family’s story into the conversation. The food was fine but the overall experience was very good and a great introduction on our first day in Athens.

Maik was great and knowledgeable about the food and the history of the food and of the area and culture. He is also personable and easy to get along with, definitely recommend!

Wonderful experience. Very informative and great eating spots. We learned a lot about Greek culture and food. The food was amazing, and the walk wasn’t too long, but very needed for the amounts of food that we devoured :). Thank you, we will be back.

Good people and good food - what more can you ask for? Rachel was a wonderful host and took us to tavernas outside of the tourist areas. I highly recommend this tour anytime, but especially on Sunday when much of Athens is closed.

Such a fun experience! Great food, lots of wine and raki. Rachel was a wonderful host.

Rachel was a great guide. I really enjoyed learning more about authentic Athenian food and traditions. All the food stops along the tour was amazing. Definitely joins the tour with an empty stomach since there will be plenty of foods and drinks for you to try.

I cannot say enough good things about this food tour and experience. Rachel was a wonderful host and tour guide. She’s so knowledgeable, friendly, and makes sure to get to know every single person in the group. The food she introduced us to was yummy and unique! Don’t hesitate about going on this food tour- you won’t regret it!

This tour is amazing. It ended up just being me and my friend so it felt really personalized. Michalis was very friendly, kind, insightful and knowledgeable. He answered all the questions we had, even things that didn’t pertain to the tour (he even advised us on how to book a last minute trip to Santorini and Paros) He was just so helpful and we’re so grateful.

Rachel was absolutely wonderful! I was running late and Rachel accommodated me to join the group when I got there. She is extremely kind and takes you to the best places! You will definitely be full by the end. I would recommend anyone visiting to book with her!

We had a great time on this tour! All the food was amazing. Rachel was so friendly and told us such interesting information about the food and the area, as well a great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Do this early in your trip so you can use the tips the rest of your time here!

We did the tour with Michael within a few hours of landing in Athens. It was a really good way to get introduced to the city and also to learn some of the restaurants we might visit later in our stay.

Michael was very engaging and very informative.

Mocha lis was a fantastic guide - sharing history and culture with us as we ate our way through Athens! Highly recommend a tour early in your trip to get your bearings and sample a lot of Greek cuisine.

My tour with Rachel was amazing. What an incredible tour of unique locations with yummy eats. Rachel is first and foremost such an incredibly kind and thoughtful guide.

Rachel was so lovely and personable. She always made sure that everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. The places she took us were magical! She is extremely knowledgeable about everything we ate, and any additional questions we had about Athens and Greek life. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough. I left with a full belly and happy heart!

Great tour of local Athens. We learned a lot of history both ancient and modern. There was plenty to eat and drink and we had a great time!

Rachel was an INCREDIBLE guide. Absolutely wonderful experience. We decided to take this tour as an introduction to Greek cuisine on our first day of arrival. Not only did she provide great explanations and stories, she made us feel at home. We will absolutely take this tour again when we return! Make sure you try the raki!

Great way to get to know Athens! Very insightful and our hosts were extremely friendly.

Highly recommended.

I joined the tour very last minute since 2 new friends from another tour also wanted to do it. We met Rachel, and oh boy! does she go above and beyond... she greeted us with a bottle of water.

We met Rachel, and oh boy! does she go above and beyond... she greeted us with a bottle of water. It is hot in the summer. Much appreciated Rachel! Then when the rest of the tour arrived, off we went. Rachel's took us around shops that make leather goods, then off to the eat spinach pie, the market, etc. It was great learning about some hidden gems, bars, etc. that we later enjoyed on our own.
The place we ate in the markets was phenomenal, the lamb (yummyyyy), the salad, etc... I want to eat there again. Rachel even served our portions on the place, pour us typical drinks like ouzo and tavern wine. Rachel is an amazing host and not only she is so down to earth, fun, but she is knows a lot and is always very attentive to each client. I truly recommend this tour and Rachel other tours. Her story is also amazing and something I am about to do myself, leave a big city for something more fulfilling 😉 read less

Michael is the best! This food tour did not disappoint! I loved every second of it. If you love to eat, you need to book this tour ASAP!

Loved this tour! Not only did we try some of the best food in Athens at key locations, but we also got background history of the food and the places we were going through. I had a great time and would definitely recommend!

Great little places yoy wouldn't find yourself.

Great food tour with Michalis! Super informative and easy going. Loads of food to try in local markets and restaurants. Especially enjoyed learning about olive production and meat curing - a couple of unexpected items sampled. Great recommendations for places only Athenians would know. Highly recommended!!

We had some of the most amazing food in places we would have never found on our own in Athens. Michalis took us to some hidden spots that locals go to and it was amazing. He even pointed out some other restaurants that we should look into if we had time in Athens. This is a tour you must do! I am still thinking about the food it was so good!

A food tour is the best way to start your vacation! It is wonderful to have an inside perspective of all the best markets and restaurants to explore.

Perfect tour. Great food. Friendly host, lots of nice info without ever getting boring. Extremely accommodating hosts.

Rachel was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable on everything and very passionate and excited about giving the tour. I was able to try many wonderful food items that I hadn’t tried in the past. She was also very helpful in recommending places to check out after the tour.

We spent our first afternoon in Athens with Rachel, tasting delicious Greek dishes and drinks and learning about the super fun local taverna scene. She is warm, kind, knowledgeable and articulate, her love for Athens infectious. Please start your journey in Athens with Rachel and you won’t regret it!

such an amazing tour! Rachel was kind and so knowledgeable about the food and history of Greece. we left very full of food and new stories to tell. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens.

My gf and I did this tour on our second day in Athens. Rachel was the tour guide and she did an amazing job explaining all the history and details about the food.

Great experience! A+.

Super knowledgeable and very friendly!

Love Rachel! She is amazing! It was my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a lot of fun doing this activity and exploring the local food and area! Rachel Made his birthday special even got a cake and candle! So cute! Would definitely recommend! Thank you so much!

Definitely worth doing! This is a great experience if you want to find some great spots the locals go to and try some great food.

We had a great time on the food tour! A wonderful immersion into the Athens food scene at places you wouldn’t find on your own. We were in Greece for a week when we went on the tour, and Michalis was able to answer all of our questions about the food and wine we’d already experienced along the way.

This tour was more than I expected. I absolutely loved Rachel. She was very informative, funny, great energy, and thoughtful. I loved how intentional she was with the places that were included. I would absolutely recommend this tour

I’m a foodie and this tour was exactly what I needed to introduce me to Greek food. Rachel was amazing! She was very knowledgeable. I felt like I was on a college tourwith an instructor. I learned so much from her. I have a friend who’s going to Greece in September and I’m definitely recommending this tour to them.

Rachel led a great tour for us. There were 11 of us and she still made an effort to remember all of our names and learn about our lives outside of the tour. The spots she took us to are those which you would not find unless you knew where to look, and we got to try some foods I’d never think I’d try.

We loved our tour with Rachel! It was so fun to try new foods and learn more about the culture, history, and food of Greece. We went back to several of the stops because we loved the food. Definitely go hungry!

We’ve been on many food tours in Europe and this one was top notch. Very informative with little known facts about Greek food and it’s origins and regional cuisines. Highly recommend! Thanks Rachel & Deena for being great hosts! Lorie & Doug, San Diego, CA

The food tour was very fun! It was a great opportunity to learn more about the authentic Greek foods! Rachel was so friendly with a great background! It was interesting to learn about and she did her best to accommodate everyone’s allergies or requests!

Book a tour! Rachel was an excellent guide. Warm, friendly and very accommodating of our children who needed special care. She went out of her way to give our whole family a unique and enjoyable experience. This guided tour was a highlight of our Athens experience.

Left this tour fat and happy! Rachel was fantastic. Funny and informative and her food choices were excellent. She delivered on hidden tavernas, amazing food you would never find on your own and greek booze. One of our favorite food tours ever!!!

This was the highlight of my Athens visit! Rachel is an amazing guide- so personable, kind and knowledgeable. We loved the tavernas, the history, and THE FOOD! I couldn’t believe the amount of food that was included in this tour. I can’t recommend it enough, you’ll be so pleased you went!

This was such a good call- I am so glad we signed up. It was a very hot day in Athens so it was perfect for a little afternoon break from the crushing heat. The food was amazing- Rachel was fantastic- so attentive and gave us loads of information about Greece, Athens, best places to get various dishes, spices, coffee. We really enjoyed it. Definitely worth your time.

I am so glad we were able to book this tour, it was well worth the time and cost. Since the market is closed on Sunday, we visited three tavernas to try a large variety of dishes.

It's a must-take if you're looking for a walking authentic traditional Greek food tour, and local food markets far from luxury fake tourist places.
Rachel also provided a lot of non-food related information about Greek history.

Great tour! One of our highlights of Athens.

Amazing tour! Michael was an amazing host and knew the area like the back of his hand. He took us to some amazing spots and really made sure to tell us about the good spots to eat from and support the local businesses. Come VERY hungry, I’m still full and it’s been 4 hours since the tour! Do NOT miss this tour!

Great tour of Athens and all the great places to eat and authentic foods. We went back to the same places from the tour many times on our trip because we loved it so much! Lots of really interesting facts about the culture and Michalis was very accommodating and friendly.

Rachel was an outstanding host! Not only was the experience great with the best of Greek culinary experience but Rachel also gave good tips abs good places to hang out where locals eat and are authentic. Rachel
Took special care of my kids who have food allergies. Thank you Rachel

Rachel was very personable and we could tell she loves her city— the food (of course, it’s a food tour), people, culture and history. It was a great way to try so many things in a few hours with some context about what we were eating. We left with very full bellies and happy faces!

Rachel was great and very accommodating for the guests and our children. She made sure everyone enjoyed the tour and food, even our boys.

What a fantastic tour! Great food and drinks with fun people. Rachel did an amazing job with our group and I’m thankful I went on this tour. We even had a few children in the group and she went out of her way to make sure they enjoyed it without slowing anything down. I highly recommend going on this adventure. You won’t regret it.

Would totally recommend! Rachel is so fun and takes you to the best places. Plenty of local alcohol and new foods to try. Introduced to foods that we loved but we wouldn’t have found on our own.

Fantastic and fresh food! They will also give you great recommendations for anything you're looking for in Athens.

Rachael was very nice and knowledgeable on local foods. This is a great way to start a visit to Athens.

Rachel was very knowledgeable about the city and shared great tips, recommendations, and excellent food. We were not rushed and the tour was fun and entertaining. I would recommend this tour .

We had Rachel as the tour guide. She was fantastic! Food was wonderful and she talked about the history, the region, and the stories behind. She is very warm, patient and very thoughtful.

Great experience in the heart of Athens! Gave the full experience with great explanations unfiltered and all. Definitely worth a booking!

This was so awesome! Maik shared lovely aspects of the food and culture of Athens. We went to some tiny hole in the wall places that I never would have found otherwise. After sharing food and Raki together, I consider Maik a friend. It was so amazing to taste a whole bunch of new flavors. I highly recommend this tour.

Everything was amazing. Along with the food we learned some awesome facts about the history of Greece as well as present day information.

Awesome time! Stuffed! Come hungry

Rachel’s passion for Athens and it’s cuisine shines through every step of the way. She consistently demonstrated gracious hospitality. The last stop was an especially wonderful location.

This is a must when you come to Athens! Rachel’s food tour was amazing! She is so knowledgeable about Greece, and the history of the food, city, and culture! You try all the native foods that are so fresh and the dessert at the end was the BEST! She’s incredible and we want to do another tour with her when we come back!

We loved our time with Rachel! She was a delightful host that made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying our experiences. We had a wonderful chance to meet people throughout Athens in the market, in restaurants, and in the shops. We tasted wonderful food, heard some great stories, and connected well with the other guests. We highly recommend this experience. Thank you!

Rachel was absolutely wonderful! You can tell she really enjoys everything Greek, from the food and drink to the people and the architecture. The tour was full of great food and drink from spots you never would've come across as a tourist. You get your money's worth as you eat breakfast and lunch while touring parts of Athens. Do this tour, you won't regret it!

Great Tour! Deserves the five stars! Everything tasted so good and we especially enjoyed hearing Rachel talk about her background and the history of the places.

Side note, my wife is vegan and was accommodated very well

Rachel was an excellent host and guide! We enjoyed seeing the spice, fish, meat, and fruit markets and sampling all the way through. The two sit-down meals were both delicious with wonderful atmosphere. Rachel was very kind and attentive and created a really lovely experience that helped us understand Greek food culture. I highly recommend this tour!

A fantastic way to get to know Athens and its food, I highly recommend!

Tour was a great way to try Athens most popular and unique dishes in a short amount of time. Not only will you eat many dishes you will learn the history behind them. Rachel was very knowledgeable and helpful with travel tips throughout Greece

I enjoyed the tour with Rachel. We walked around where the locals hangout, coffee shop, fruit, meat and fish market. Unlike US, these farmer's market prices were significantly lower compare to supermarkets. Very insightful.

Amazing experience. If you want to eat like the locals then this tour is a must.

She also recommended us a few gems that we shall try on our own! In addition to the food knowledge, Rachel possessed a lot of general historical knowledge as well, which made the tour even more fun.

I highly recommend this tour, and if you do attend, go hungry! There’s a lot of food to be eaten on this tour :). read less

So. Much. Food. I read the other reviews saying to go hungry and I didn’t, and totally regret it. The tour was AMAZING and the value of food and knowledge we get greatly exceeds the cost.

We had a really wonderful experience! Mike was super knowledgeable about Greek food and culture. We tasted so many delicious foods and went to many places where we only saw locals. We learned so much and left very full. We can’t recommend highly enough.

Rachel was an excellent guide through the food scene in Athens! She was very knowledgeable about the history behind all the foods, as well as general knowledge of Athens.

Perfect from beginning to end. A must do for Athens. Fun and colourful experience. Rachel is Fabulous and shares are her insights as you tour all the culinary delights Athens has to offer.

Great experience

Wonderful experience! Rachel and Michalis provided a fun and authentic food tour!! We left the tour very happy and full. We would suggest this to anyone wanting to experience amazing local food, drinks and culture.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Athens! Rachel and Michalis were amazing hosts! They made us feel like locals who were out and about in some great spots that few tourists know about in Athens.

We did the hidden tavernas tour with Rachel and Michalis and this was a big highlight of our time in Athens. Not only was there great food, but we had a really wonderful group and Rachel and Michalis are lively and friendly hosts who made all the difference. We had such a great time and would certainly do another food tour again with them in the future. Highly recommended!

Great experience while in Athens!

A wonderful experience getting to know not only the history of the city but the local food and lifestyle.

By the time we stopped in to tavernas, olive shops, markets, and cafes all 3 of us were full halfway through the trip and were able to take home leftovers for dinner and a collection of souvenirs! This is a must-do when visiting Athens. We would not hesitate to book again with so many areas to see and such great company. read less

Rachel goes above and beyond. She is truly somebody who’s smile energized the tour. Great information, and experience. Knows the city inside out. The most telling aspect is that she was a beloved by the people she works with and interacts at in every stop and throughout the market

We loved our tour with Michalis! He was so knowledgeable and truly wanted to share his side of Athens with us. We got to try so many different things that we never would’ve known about otherwise.

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!

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!

Do not skip out on this tour! Rachel and Mike are amazing guides, so knowledgeable, kind and welcoming.

The food, OMG The Food! It was all fresh and delicious, shared with a passion that pulls you in and you are trying things you never thought you would. I won't spoil their surprise, but will tell you that I would try it all again. LOL!
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.

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!

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

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

Highly recommend. Be sure to skip breakfast prior to attending.

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.

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!

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!

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 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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful, fully recommend!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

Rachel was an amazing host. The tour was well planned and I learned so much. There was so much delicious food that I never would have discovered on my own. This is a not to be missed experience!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

A must do in Athens! We loved our time with Rachel and Maik. They are so passionate about the culture, food, and country and so eager to share with everyone. It was really clear they took time to pick out special places and we ended up going back to each one for seconds after the tour!

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

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!

This food tour was awesome! Michalis was very knowledgeable and got us to try some really great food.

Fantastic experience!

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

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!

We had a wonderful experience!! If you are looking for a tour to get to know more about Greek food and Greek culture, do THIS ONE! They are friendly and really care about us.

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 was very personable and knowledgeable of the history and customs of Athens. We also had another couple in our group which made it more personable and intimate. 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
Best Always

We had a really nice time getting introduced to Greek food and Athens with Rachel. It was a wonderful start to our vacation!

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.

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

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!

Had a wonderful time! Especially loved the cats

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. Michalis is very knowable and friendly (everyone knows him). The walk is easy and the meeting spot was in monatraki (near us any way) .. DO IT! DO IT DO IT. Won't regret it.... pls go HUNGRY!!

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!

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 !

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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. Rachel’s son Sam also joined us and he gave a cool perspective on life in Athens for the younger generation.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

I signed up for this tour on a Thursday night - the same day I arrived in Athens. I wanted to have some sort of immersive experience in the city rather than sitting in my hotel.

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

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!

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!

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!

The food tour is amazing and tasty, and Rachel is a wonderful host and guide. She told us stories and explained history and culture, and really was a fantastic person to meet and spend time with. We had an amazing time. Look no further for the best food tour in Athens!
