Delicious Greek food!!! Delicious Greek food! We did the tour on the day we arrived in Athens and it did not disappoint. Large variety of Greek food and drink to try. Rachael was great at accommodating us as I am pregnant and can’t drink right now and my partner is pescatarian but there were plenty of options for us. Rachael was easy to communicate with and very welcoming to Athens.

Worth every penny… excellent Rachael was amazing! So very detailed, charming, authentic Greek-native ( Greek-lish) having been raised in London … returned home to chase her passion of Athens and heart. Learned a ton about the food, wine, spices and history of it all. Highly recommend early in your trip to get the best pro tips on Athens and islands. She is a national treasure for sure. Rachael for President!!!!

Best food tour ever! Rachel was so knowledgeable and fun! We stopped at several places and had some delicious food, wine and ouzo! She also suggested the best places to eat or buy teas, spices or oil while we’re touring Athens on our own.All 5 of us loved the whole experience and we felt right at home with Rachel.

Excellent and tasty tour. We had a great tour with Rachel.She is so kind and full of knowledge, navigating around between local owners and taking us to hidden local places, adding lots of info and fun facts and also recommendations for other places to see and visits. Don't miss it

An Unforgettable Experience We were hesitant about doing this tour, solely because we had concerns about jet lag, but my goodness… we enjoyed every minute of the experience. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Rachel and her assistant (she had a beautiful name that started with an ‘A’) were accommodating, communicative, and such pleasant company.

Phenomenal experience and great craic Rachel - absolutely fantastic tour guide and her enthusiasm for the area made the experience. The food and people she introduced us too, you'd never see without her. 10/10

Very enjoyable Rachael is warm and inclusive. Her love of the food and the culture of Athens is very engaging. The foods were excellent and authentic!

Great food walking tour in Athens! Mikael took us on a fantastic walking tour in the Psirri area of Athens with a combination of taverns, stores and markets.The food selection was amazing and we ended up going back for the pork gyros two more times.We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Athens

Must do as part of Athens trip Having a local expert showing you the area and recommending the food. The market was great and each stop you were given real indepth info on what you were seeing, tasting or drinking.

Best Food Tour Such a well planned food tour of Athens! Michael is a native of Athens and will give you history along with a taste of the local cuisine. if you can only do one tour in Athens, you don’t want to miss.this one! Come hungry.

Must do in Athens! Had a wonderful time on this tour! Rachel and Mike were welcoming and informative - and, oh my gosh, the food 😍

Best food tour ever! Arrive hungry! The food is fantastic and just keeps coming! Allow extra time to enjoy, the tour may go longer and this is perfect.

Perfect way to get oriented in Athens! Rachel was SO fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Absolutely worth the time and money! We had an amazing time and got to eat and drink our fill of some great dishes and learned a lot about Greek culture. Come hungry!!

Getting closer to the real Athens The tour was very pleasant and went beyond our expectations, we discovered all the nice local shops and restaurants and market, get to learn the local life and culture, Mike was very nice and experienced and caring, and we ended the tour super full.

Wonderful Amazing tour. Our guide, Maik, was wonderful. His love of Athens, the community, and of course food;) was obvious throughout. The conversation was easy, insights on point, and I loved getting to experience Athens like a local. If you’re wanting a food tour- this one is devine.

Amazing Food Tour, well worth the money Rachel was so knowledgeable and very sweet, we really enjoyed this tour, one of the best we have been on as well as the food was delicious!

And they were also just super fun and easy to spend time with - what more could you want! We were in Athens over Orthodox Easter and a lot of restaurants and shops close for the holiday - Rachel and Michalis went above and beyond by helping us all figure out restaurants that were open so we wouldn't be hungry. Seriously such great hosts! My only complaint is that I didn't come hungrier 😀 read less

Friendly guide and a great experience Rachel was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide who made me and the other guests feel very welcome. Loved exploring the hidden areas and shops that I’d never have spotted without her!

My highlight of Athens! Had a wonderful time with Mike and Rachel. They were so lovely and explained everything about the local food items to the markets. Plus made sure there were enough options for vegetarians too! Definitely a highlight of my time in Athens. Be warned, come with a relatively empty stomach as there will be tons of yummy food!

Experience authentic Athens food and culture We had an absolutely wonderful time with Rachel exploring the fish and meat markets as well as sampling the many local spices.

Small group food tour We really enjoyed this tour. Very informative knowledge guide. Learned many things a guide book won’t tell you. Don’t eat a lot before you go as more than enough tastings to keep you full

An enjoyable insight into the best food in Athens The food was great, and we were introduced to many great places to eat.

The food of the Gods! The food and all the explanations were so good! All the cultural things that are related to the food. It was just amazing!

Touch of local perspective We took our tour around mid April and we were with a group of 10. Michael is very friendly and knows many locals. It made it fun and exciting to taste and speak to local store owners. There is more than enough food to keep you full from 2-5pm (and beyond) :p

A Fantastic Gastro-Tour I booked this to get an idea of the local area and to see the amazing food on offer. I had an amazing time.

A fun and informative morning with great guides! My partner and I loved the food tour! We were able to try out a lot of the delicacies as well as learn about the history of the food and of Greece! Watching the Greek coffee being made in the traditional way was one of my highlights :)Rachel and Arela were fantastic guides and we’d highly recommend to book if you’re in the Athens area!

An absolute must!! We had our 5pm tour with the lovely Rachel, she is a warm, witty, generous soul who is instantly likeable - she knew everything about the local areas in Athens, where to go, what to buy and the cuisine and the stories behind the dishes we shared, we visited a fruit and veg market, a spice shop where we bought local herbs and spices at incredibly low prices and several... read moreWe had our 5pm tour with the lovely Rachel, she is a warm, witty, generous soul who is instantly likeable - she knew everything about the local areas in Athens, where to go, what to buy and the cuisine and the stories behind the dishes we shared, we visited a fruit and veg market, a spice shop where we bought local herbs and spices at incredibly low prices and several other bazaars in a part of town we had not been to before - their groups are no larger than 8 people so we all had a chance to chat to her and ask questions about Athens, the local people, their lives and culture.We had so much to eat! We had two sit down meals, one was a huge sharing mezze of squid, salads, courgette balls, beans, bread, tzatsiki, and ouzo, fantastic!! Then we stopped at an incredible food store with about a thousand sausages hung everywhere and sampled some more local food and had some of the local spirit which was like fire-water (I had way too much of this - hahaha) we then finished off at a lovely little place with fairy lights everywhere and had gyros and local red wine with musicians playing traditional Greek music - all in all an extremely fun and informative tour - we left so full we would hardly walk (or was that the booze??) thank you so much Rachel, we really enjoyed it.To anyone visiting Athens, you should not miss out on this tour!!! read less

Don't miss the food tour! Mike was a great your guide and we had the best time. Food was amazing and you get a lot of it! We left very full. Recommend doing this at the start of your trip in Athens so you know all the great places and things to eat. Would do this again for sure!

Don't Miss It! My only regret about taking this fabulous tour with Rachel is that we didn't do it sooner in our stay in Athens! That way, we would have had more time to return to all of the intriguing secret spots Rachel shared with us as she expertly led us around the streets of the downtown market area. Highly recommend!!!

5 Stars for a heartful tour around Athens! Exploring with Rachel is like traveling with a good friend who knows all the best spots and kindest people.

Would highly recommend! Maik was our guide. He is a native of Athens and had friends everywhere. We appreciated his kind manner and he was easy to talk to. He showed us many different places in the food market and taught us about the Greek methods for cooking. It was great! We have kids from ages 11-17 and they all loved it.

Highly recommended food tour Rachel was not only incredibly knowledgeable local, but she was also incredibly enthusiastic. The fact that she took us to some of the very vendors and restaurants that she frequents made this an extra special glimpse into the local community

Beste Food Tour in Arhen Super schöne Tour, sehr bemühter Führer, zu jeder Zeit kurzweilig und jede Menge leckeres Essen. Man sieht Ecken von Athen die man sonst nicht gesehen hätte. Wer nach Athen kommt, sollte sich diese Tour nicht entgehen lassen.

Sehr zu empfehlen! Wir haben diese Tour aufgrund der guten Bewertungen kurzfristig gebucht und unser Start in Athen hätte gar nicht besser sein können. Rachel ist ein wunderbarer und aufgeschlossener Tourguide, der nicht nur alles und jeden kennt, sondern auch wunderbare Empfehlungen für unsere Reise geben konnte. An Essen, Naschen und Spirituosen wird sicher nicht gegeizt, so dass wir vollgestopft und leicht beschwipst zurück ins Hotel sind. It was a pleasure.

This tour is definitely a MUST while visiting Athens! The food was delicious and I tried things I would never have even know to try. We had an absolute blast and it was a fabulous way to spend my birthday!

A beautiful afternoon with beautiful people in a beautiful city-Athens! The hosts, Michalis and Rachel, we're what made this tour so alluring. He grew up in this area and knows all the little places that tourists might easily overlook. Rachel welcomed us to the first of two meals at a restaurant in the main Market in Athens.

She spoke with such passion and knew all the people in the places we went which was lovely to see the community. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough!!

Wonderful good tour! My favorite part of the tour was getting to try so many different foods, We also really enjoyed the spice shop and getting yo try Greek coffee😊

The food and drinks were amazing made even better by Rachel ability to share her knowledge/passion in such an informative , interesting and engaging way. Come hungry as the food we received across the tour was not only excellent but plentiful! To top it off Rachel made some suggestions for eating out ( places locals use)which we tried. Places that we would not have known or come across other wise. Because of this we had fantastic Greek food over our few days in Athens after the tour. I have been on a few food tours in other cities and this is up there as the best. A must if in Athens. read less

Awesome experience Mike was a phenomenal host and the food was wonderful! Loved learning about Athens and seeing spots we wouldn’t have chosen ourselves.

Since it began in the morning, we were able to go into the authentic markets and shop, in addition to trying breakfast, coffee & lunch items along the way. One of our first stops was an olive store, Roe, where they grow all their own olives, make their own olive oil and honey. We had an olive tasting and learned a lot! I wish I had bought more items from them and you can’t find their products in the airport duty free shops! The coffee shop used a process using hot sand to cook the coffee, which was fun to watch. It makes a strong tiny cup of coffee and I think it’s the only place that does this! Anyway, our tour guide Mike (had a longer Greek name), was fantastic! You can tell that he loves to cook and loves Athens and it’s history! We also met fabulous people on our tour of 6 total tourists. read less

Brilliant experience with Rachel - really enjoyed the tour and all the interesting stories and info we learned. Food and drink was plentiful, Rachel is an excellent guide. Absolutely recommend this experience to acquaint yourself with the local food and drinks! Thanks Rachel! 👍

Michalis was a great guide! I got to try so many new things that I otherwise wouldn’t have. The tour was entertaining throughout and he made sure each person was looked after and part of the conversation - I really appreciated that!

Rachel and Michalis put on a great tour. I’m convenced Michalis knows everyone in Athens. The tour is a great way to eat at some of the hidden gems of Athens, and the guides are very personable.

Very knowledgeable and personable host. You get to try so many things and learn so much about food in Greece. The tour includes not only some more well known dishes, but many local specialties. Bring an appetite!

Rachel was an amazing tour guide, having lived in the UK she is really easy to listen to for English speakers. No interpretation required! The tour itself was brilliant and we would have never have found half the spots she showed us despite us spending time researching. A must when you visit Athens!

Michalis was so nice and informative! The tour size was small which made it relaxed and fun. Also an amazing value, as you get to try almost everything and all costs are covered with your Air Bnb fee. HIGHLY recommend!

Great time with Rachel and Mike Fantastic food tour with the two most knowledged tour guides in Athens! I showed up a bit late and frazzled but Rachel found me and reassured me all was ok.

We really enjoyed the food tour, to see where the locals go to eat. Mike was a really nice guide and knowledgeable about the Greek food and its history.👍🏻 The food was really tasty and we recommend the tour to anybody, it is a great way to get to know part of the countries culture!🇬🇷

I highly recommend to going this tour as it gives you a great grounding of Athenean cusine. Rachel was an excellent host and adapted to our dietary restrictions (we don't drink coffee or wine).

Michael was amazing! Our tour visited a couple of locations, with great food at every location. The lamb and the gyro exceeded my expectations. It was also cool to explore the local fish and meat markets. Highly recommended if you are visiting Athens for the first time!

Delicious, super enriching experience The host was great and taught us a lot about traditional Greek food. There was plenty of delicious food to taste while walking around a part of Athens we might had not found or truly appreciated by ourselves. We not only recommend this tour, we'd definitely do it again.

I loved my tour with Mike! We went to so many great spots and ate a ton of great food. He is clearly beloved by the other locals! We couldn’t go anywhere without him be pestered and teased by vendors that he has known forever. Made some friends on the tour and ended up going out for drinks after.

I really enjoyed the tradition Greek food experience. Rachel was an excellent and welcoming host who showed us some great local foods from the area. She also took the time to get to know everyone on the trip and made them feel included whilst accommodating to their dietary requirements as needed. Thanks for a great experience! 😄

what a wonderful afternoon we've had! thank you to rachel for being such an amazing and fun host 😊 we fully enjoyed our time with rachel and the group and where lucky enough to simply roll into bed after a short walk back home ... so much food 😊 absolute recommendation!

Great tour with plenty of culinary delights, Rachel and Michalis took the best care of us and we got to learn a lot while exploring secret hotspots away from the tourist spots!

This is a must-do tour! Rachel was a fabulous guide who made us wish we could stay longer in Athens. So much tasty food that we had to roll ourselves home! We will be recommending this tour to anyone coming to Athens. Thanks, Rachel!!!

Delicious experience! So much food. The reviews do not lie, this tour will exceed your expectations. Everyone we met was kind and welcoming, absolutely no pressure to buy anything, but you probably will want to! It felt like spending the day with friends, an absolutely wonderful way to see Athens.

WOW! Amazing tour! Everything was perfect! Maik took us to great places in Athens. Fish, meat, and produce market. We got to try local cuisine. Maik talked about how the food is made and how it came about. Got to talk to the sellers and make new friends. Make sure you go hungry because you will eat a lot!

Eating our way through Athens … off the beaten path. Rachel was very knowledgeable about the food and the culture of Athens and Greece. We learned a lot and had a great time. The foods and drinks we sampled were tasty and plentiful. We highly recommend this tour! Feeding the cats was a fun bonus.

This was such a great experience! We took our 5 month old and they were super accomodating to my need to nurse and change diapers along the way.

One should come with empty stomach and big appetite to this tour because Mike will make sure he feeds you with delicious meals at 2 restaurants in addition to all the other tastings. At a restaurant In the fish/meat market we had a delicious meal with bread, eggplant salad, Greek salad, fried calamari, lamb & potatoes cooked in lemon and olive oil (for 4 hours) and the meal is completed with Greek yogurt w sour Cherry drizzle. Delicious! The tour ended with a belt loosening tasting of souvlaki in fluffy pita bread. Most of us had to take the food to go because none of us could finish the generous servings! The tastings were incredible but it was Mike’a friendliness, humor, love and familiarity of his hometown and food that made this a delicious and satisfying tour! read less

This tour is worth every penny. Honestly the value is great. You could easily spend this on 2 meals and a few snacks in tourist trap restaurants but instead you get let in on the culinary secrets of Athens.

The food is great and you need the walking between stops to make room for the next stop. You will try the food that you associate with Greece but also more that you may not be aware of. This is a food tour but will show you much more than different meals. I can't recommend enough! read less

We had Mike and Dimitri plus were lucky enough to meet Rachel as well in the market. It is truly a family like experience and you feel very comfortable with guide who is a friend by the end of the tour. Greek food is already awesome but the places they take you to and show you are gems you would be lucky to find 1 of on your own. As far as value goes I would have happily paid more because the amount of food you get is crazy for the money. If you go to touristy spots on your own you would spend the same amount on lower quality food (without the tour info as well) Do yourself a favor and take this tour. It is worth more than others and is better than other over priced tours. read less

Amazing experience!! You will discover Athens through food. Mike was an amazing host, gave us lots of fun facts about Athens, and also shared great recommendations.

What an amazing experience with Mike! he was so friendly, engaging and knowledgeable about food, and the city of Athens. He really made the experience so enjoyable. We also visited such cool places and tasted such gorgeous food! what a day! highly recommended!

Highly recommend!It was an excellent tour and a great experience! Not only we had a chance to try delicious local food but also got a glimpse of life of Greek people.Rachel and Michalis are very welcoming and friendly people as well as great hosts and guides. I can’t recommend them enough!

It was just my hubby and I on the tour and our very knowledgeable tour guide, Mik, was so personable. Supports local shops and you get to meet as friends with the shop owners. Lots of food!!

Best Food Tour! Lots of authentic, freshly made Greek food! Great host; very informative and knowledgeable. Come hungry - there’s a lot of yummy things to taste. 2 sit down meals plus a dessert & coffee ending. Best way to taste Athens!

great experience of Athens, we did this on our first full day in Athens and I cant think of a better way to start our week here in the city.

The most wonderful thing I've done since I got to Greece and I'm glad I did. Rachel was amazing with the history telling, her traditional choice of food tasting, her fun personality, and there were even great people on the tour with us. At the end we felt like one big family.

Great tour! Well timed as far as being able to let the food settle and move to the next place, great background on each type of food we were trying. Well portioned as well, I left more than satisfied! Thanks!!!

This was the perfect way to start our trip to Athens. It made the whole trip so much better. I would recommend this to anyone. Absolutely amazing.

The tour was excellent! I am Greek born and raised here and I still experienced new things and learned things I did not know. Michalis is super professional, extremely knowledgable and great fun! I totally recommend the tour it’s worth the time and every penny of it. It was the food tour we ever did with the most amount of food and the most amount of tastes ever.

Rachel was a great host. She was very warm and welcoming. Everything flowed well with the entire group. We really enjoyed this tour. It was totally worth it! We have every meal planned for the rest of our stay from her recommendations. We would highly recommend.

Rachel was so friendly and showed us great locations in Athens! We ate great food, enjoyed the markets, and met a couple that we ended up having dinner with the next night. It was a fun day and Rachel had everything planned so it was very efficient and timely. Highly recommend this food tour!

This was our first air bnb experience and Maik was a wonderful tour guide full of local knowledge. He was very friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions. There was a large variety of food and everything was delicious. You will leave extremely satisfied and very full. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Rachel is a warm and wonderful host and the food is fantastic and plentiful. She also designs the tour so that you get a sit down meal early on so you are never hungry. We didn't eat after our lunchtime tour - we were so full up. After sampling olive oil and olives we sat down in the market restaurant to fresh kalamari and fried anchovies, delicious bread with olive oil and herbs and melt in your mouth lamb. What you get depends on what's good in the market on that day. We also tasted delicious desserts and watched Greek coffee being made. At the end of the tour is another sit down meal which is in a beautiful restaurant. The tour is not hard - walking wise. Rachel is very engaging and our 12 year old loved it. You do learn about Athens through its food - as Rachel says. You also see some interesting parts of the city you might miss on your own. Would urge you to go. read less

A lot of different, tasty food and drinks (so you should arrive hungry!) and places in the city I would have not visited otherwise. Great introduction into Greek food culture!

Experience for everyone who wants to feel the real spirit of Athens and get to know some like-minded people on the way 🙂 you'll enjoy one of the best tastes that Greece is known for and find amazing tavernas to eat your dinner at. Away from the beaten tracks, full of life and traditional food.. and cats!I'll definitely book the tour again next time I'm in Athens ☺️

If you are looking for a nice food tour, this is definitely the one! Rachel is very friendly and attentive. We highly recommend this experience, you will learn a lot, taste a lot of amazing flavours and finish happy with a full stomach. Besides, you get to discovered local spots to eat!!

Great food tour. Rachel was an amazing host. Great food and stories for 3 hours. It was the best start of our vacation.

So much fun! Small intimate group. Got to see a complete different side of the city! Finally got to experience a real Greek market. The host was great! Very informative and thoughtful. Hope to come back again during a different season!

The tour was amazing. Michalis took us to various places, tried a great range of food and wine. I really could not pick one single element to improve. It was just perfect. Cannot recommend any more!

Stop reading and book this! Rachel was amazing, I'd do it again if visiting Athens. Food was delicious, walk through the markets were so much fun. She goes above and beyond making sure you get an authentic Greek experience!!!...

Best Tour in Athens Rachel’s (tour guide) intimate knowledge of the local markets and her lovely personality make this a prime choice. Walking was not too demanding and hidden tavernas with wonderful food made the tour one of the best ever.

Excellent experience. Tasted many good foods, saw many things, and learned a lot about Greek culture & history. Rachel is wonderful and clearly does it for the passion and not for the money. Incredible sense of humor and a great resource for local references. I am so glad I did this tour and would highly recommend it. Thank you!

Rachel was an amazing host. She made us feel like we were old friends. We were looking for an authentic experience and we found it! We would definetly recommend if you are interested in learning more about greek food and culture.

Wonderful afternoon Greek culture and cuisine experience. Mike is like an old friend and really gives you a glimpse into what its like to live like a local. If you're a foodie, I highly recommend you add to your Athens itinerary.

Great experience to book! Michalis takes you to local places that are not tourist traps, also provided really good recommendations for local restaurants!

The tour was great! We booked it for our first day in Athens right after we arrived, and it was perfect to get a first impression of the city. Michalis was very friendly and knowledgeable, and open to any questions. We got to try a lot of different Greek snacks and were more than satisfied with the variety and amount 🙂

We had such a wonderful experience on this food tour and would recommend to anyone. Rachel was so responsive and helpful, and took us to many restaurants!

A perfect way to experience the authentic culture and food of Athens! A fantastic experience - do not hesitate to book! The time flew by while we tasted our way around the authentic shops and restaurants in Athens. Rachel was an incredible hostess who made everyone feel comfortable, taught us tons about Athens and Greek food — and of course the food was plentiful and delicious. So glad we did this!

Do not eat a heavy meal the day you go on this tour, you will get tons of food! To give you an idea, we ate fresh calamari bought that morning from the fish monger, sampled cured meats and cheese, zucchini balls with a delicious spread of feta and peppers, beans in a rich tomato sauce, Greek salad, fava, fried cheese, fresh seasonal fruit from the market, two kinds of spirits, Greek coffee from the oldest coffee roaster in Athens, various sweets, wine, and souvlaki, as well as sampled olives, olive oil, honey, and various spices. On top of all of that we toured the fish, meat, and produce markets to see how the locals buy their food everyday, and stopped by several local shops to see the equipment the locals use to make their own wine, olives, and more.

You can learn so much about a culture through the foods that they eat, and this tour was both delicious and educational. I highly recommend this tour and thank Mike for doing such a wonderful job. read less

Went on this tour on New Year’s Eve and it was one of the best airbnb experiences I’ve ever done! The food was amazing and Rachel and her husband are so excited about their work and showing all that Athens has to offer! Highly recommend to do when you first get to Athens, so you get a better idea of the best areas and restaurants to visit during your trip!

I really enjoyed time with Rachel and the rest of the group, you can see that she do what she loves. She had everything planned and arranged, and there was logic in it.

A good introduction into Greek foods and restaurants, would especially recommend for anyone new in the country to help break into understanding the cuisine.

Fantastic tour! Definitely recommend. What a wonderful tour!! Rachel and Mike are both so warm, welcoming and knowledgable of not only the traditional, local foods in the area, but also the hidden gems dotted around Athens of delicious places to eat! I’ve lived in Athens for a year now and they showed me many new places I’d never found before. I would recommend this food tour to everyone!

Strong recommendation if you want to see Athens outside the touristic path Great experience, great places, great guide.
Super Tour, we all enjoyed it
We would have never found the lovely places without guide...

This tour is very inspiring and delicious! I loved hearing about our host's visits to this market as a child. It is clear he is known and loved by the merchants there. The food was excellent.

Food tour Delicious and knowledgeable tour! Michael was a great guide and we really enjoyed learning about Greek food culture and history! We also took our 9 month old son and it was very enjoyable for him too!

Lovely tour. Really good local places included in the tour. Maik was super awesome with his explanation (english) and selection of the food places, based on our preferences. We really enjoyed the tour of the markets and got a chance to shop some amazing herbs, spices and other food items along the way too. Highly recommend.

This was a great food tour of central Athens. I learned a lot and the food choices were delicious

All the food Despite the rain, we had a great time experiencing all different types of food around Athens. From olives and oils to spices and dessert, you get a full range of everything! The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and go out of their way to accommodate all diets and educate you on the day to day of the restaurants and markets.

I am considering moving to Athens and went on this tour to help me understand how to eat and shop in the city. It was exactly what I was hoping for! Be prepared to eat!! If you don’t typically eat in the AM, I would recommend the PM tour.

Fantastic experience! Educational, delicious, and truly local places where Greek people go, not the typical tourist spots. Highly recommended!

Best food tour ever Mike was a fabulous guide. So good to have such a knowledgeable local guide. If you get a chance to book this tour you will not be disappointed. Be ready for lots of wonderful food and wealth of information.

Excellent guides and great knowledge of Greek food culture. This was a unique Greek food tasting experience. Rachel and Mike are very knowledgeable and warm tour guides. I highly recommend this flavorful and savory food tour.

This food tour was amazing. It was thoughtfully planned out and the food was amazing. I don’t think I could have found these gems on my own.

Rachel and Michalis gave us great insight to Greek food and Athens in general. They also helped us with recommendations for the rest of our meals. Don't skip this tour.

A fullfillign tour Thank you Rachel and Mike for a suberb experience. Having visited Greek n times I realised that we should have this tour ages ago. Better late than never. Lots of tasting, eating and listening to tips and hints. Highly recommended.

Amazing Experience Truly enjoyed this experience! Rachel and her husband, Mike were so friendly and upbeat! They took us to all the must-try spots in the city and made us feel so comfortable and like we were a local. Also enjoyed the shopping experiences! Will recommend to other travelers! Thank you so much, Rachel and Mike!

Maik was a great & personable tour guide! He gave us history on Athens and some of the places we visited. Like other reviews suggest, come with an empty stomach. We stopped at a marketplace, had authentic dishes, and left very fat and happy!

Amazing experience! Rachel and Michalis were great hosts. Knowledgeable, kind, funny. They made us feel like we were old friends showing their beloved city. I am in Athens with my 17 year old son and we both agreed that adding this food tour was amazing! Thank you so much for the priceless experience.

Mike and Rachel were absolutely fantastic tour hosts! My partner and I are big foodies and love to try new dishes.

THE BEST FOOD TOUR I'VE BEEN ON! I love that Maik took us to the hidden gems of Athens! I highly recommend doing this AT THE BEGINNING of your trip!! The food was so tasty and I took olive oil, honey and olives as Christmas presents for my whole family back to Iceland.

Wonderful food tour.

I can’t imagine a better way to make friends around Athens and try a lot of local dishes. We had a great time!!

As quickly as you took a bite, Mike was putting another scoop of something on your plate. Then we moved on to a local deli for cheese and meat tasting. The last sit down stop was gyro with wine and then Greek coffee and dessert. As we wondered through the city Mike was telling us about Athens and recommending some fun shops. We stopped at the end to say hi to some Athens cats. After the tour, our group decided to go up to the rooftop bar. This was not part of the tour, but Mike handed us off to the doorman and suddenly we had a personal escort upstairs and a table. read less

All the locals we passed greeted him with smiles and waves. It was a great mix of experiencing local market stalls of foods and spices and sweets plus a full meal with traditional live Greek music on a lively local street. After this I’m going to try food tours wherever we travel and can only hope they are as good as this one! Loved feeding our leftovers to the local kitties!!! read less

fantastic tour with lots of great stories and you can tell the guide really loves cooking. he was fun and funny and kept trying to give us advice for where to go and what to eat. very knowledgeable and excited to show off the food of his country. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to go a food tour. lots of food and variety!

We had such a great time! Michalis was a fantastic guide. He told us many wonderful things about Greek cuisine and also showed us the special spices and places to get the most fresh ingredients.

It was a very well rounded tour. We tried so many different foods on the tour including foods I would have not associated with Greek food. I won’t give away the surprise, but there were many foods that I would never have had the guts to try outside of the tour. But, I am so glad I was encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and bit and explore all that Greek food has to offer. What’s even better is that we were all stuffed by the end and we walked away satisfied. read less

We had a wonderful afternoon eating and drinking our way through Athens! Rachel took us to her olive store, and her spice shop and her favorite restaurants and more. We heard what it's like to live here and be connected to the people all around the community. Loved every bit of it!

Terrific introduction to the food shops, markets and restaurants of Athens. Rachel has great experience and knowledge and explains things really well. We ate a lot! Great tour.

Fantastic tour with Maik. He knew everyone and treated us to delicious and varied food. Non stop eating and learning. Totally recommend this tour with Maik and Rachel and will do it again one day!

Fun, casual, and informative food-oriented stroll around Athens Fun, casual stroll around the city. A stop by the spice market, a butcher for some samples, and a couple restaurants for various dishes (and live music at one). Our host (Michael) was entertaining and explained a lot of the back stories of food origins and basic preparation of the dishes we were sampling.

What an excellent way to visit Athens! We had a wonderful time with Michalis and Rachel who took us to the local market where they go everyday for themselves. They introduced us to their friends and gave us information on their local products. We tasted the Greek specialties and ate together with people from different parts of the world. Michalis and Rachel are wonderful hosts! I highly recommend this tour! 😊

A must do for anyone visiting Athens! Rachel and Mike were extremely friendly and hospitable. They showed us around some fantastic food spots and everything we ate far exceeded my expectations. It was a fantastic value and allowed me to try foods I wouldn’t have known to try. Make this one of the first things you do and your visit will be far richer and enjoyable. I would highly recommend it!

A lovely start to our stay This was an easy walk to experience foods in Athens. This is a small group tour which makes it very nice. It was a lovely start to our stay in Athens.

Fantastic food tour We really enjoyed our tour with Michalis! He showed us some interesting places that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The food was brilliant, and a good mix of traditional Greek and modern Greek. He also recommended a great rooftop bar as we finished and helped us skip to the front of the queue. Hexaeders very knowledgable about Greek food and answered all of our questions

If you’re going to Athens, make sure to go on this food tour. It was a lot of fun. There was more food than we could eat and the stories and information from the owner were amazing. We went on the evening tour and loved seeing the lights at the end. The stop at the spice stalls at the beginning was an unexpected treat.

Rachel’s personality, presentation, tour stop timing, and fact-based comments take you past the dish and how it’s an important part of shopping and eating in the city. Her ability to guide groups through the crowded streets of Athens was effortless. You feel part of life in Athens, and you’ll leave hungry for nothing but another day in a city for which you’ve gained a unique and delicious appreciation. read less

Wow! Absolutely loved our afternoon with Rachel. She was easy to find and the food was amazing. Her knowledge and connections to the local markets made for a very authentic experience. We ate until we thought we would burst! Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Highly recommend this tour whilst visiting Athens.

We had a great trip with a great host eating great food in Athens

Quite possibly the best walking tour, let alone food tour, I’ve been on - and I’ve been on quite a few. Michalis is knowledgeable and personable; one will, without a doubt, get a truly wonderful experience.

You can feel the community that Rachel and Maik have created by hosting these tours and from the beginning you are welcomed in as a member of the at special group. Nothing about the tour felt or sounded rehearsed or rushed. Each moment was savored and celebrated. My heart is so open and full after our time with Rachel and Maik. Delicious, delightful and not to be missed. read less

Great experience It was really nice. Very nice guides and great people. Very comprehensive experience. We had a opportunity to try local cuisines and various different spots

So glad we took this tour! Don’t miss it! The hosts were fantastic! Enthusiastic about their purpose to share their love for Greek food and Athens. They explained things very well. Shopping for the spices and nuts was wonderful too! I highly recommend this tour because of Rachel & Mike…they made the tour extra special!

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!

Highly recommend this tour! Had some amazing food, learned a lot about Greek food and got some great recommendations for the rest of my trip. It was a great value

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.

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 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

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.

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.

Great experience! What a great afternoon! Mike was so knowledgeable about the local foods and the best areas to truly experience Athens. We ate so much! I would highly recommend this tour if you love food!

Highlight of our Athens visit! This tour was the highlight of our Greek trip. We experienced the markets like a local and enjoyed an abundance of tasty traditional food and drink. Our guide was extremely personable and attentive to our needs. Her goal was to make our experience outstanding and it was. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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!

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!

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!

Amazing time! This was the highlight of our trip to athens. We only had 3 days in athens before going to mykonos and this experience was well worth it. We had Rachel who was amazing and funny.

Great food, great people, awesome time We had a blast on this tour. The food was great, we learned a lot, and met great people. The guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

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

A food adventure! An amazing way to experience Athens’ culture by eating your way through some of the cutest local restaurants and neighborhoods!

Beste Foodtour in Athen Wir hatten uns ziemlich spontan, am Abend zuvor, entschieden diese Tour zu machen.

Die Kommunikation war super freundlich und wir bekamen immer sehr schnell Antwort auf unser Handy.
Mit insgesamt 8 Leuten sind wir dann zuerst auf den Fleisch und Fischmarkt, dann den Obst- und Gewürzmarkt. Auf dem Markt gab es den ersten Stopp mit verschiedenen Köstlichkeiten gefolgt von Oliven auf dem Obstmarkt.
Anschließend kamen noch eine Taverne und ein Stopp bei einer Bugatsa-Bäckerei.
Während wir uns den Bauch mit allerlei köstlichen Leckereien vollgeschlagen haben, hat uns Rachel mit Informationen versorgt.
Rachel macht das wirklich super und ist für alle Fragen offen.
Zusätzlich gibt es noch Tipps was man alles in Athen noch machen kann.
Wir haben die Tour sehr genossen und können sie uneingeschränkt empfehlen. read less

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.

Delicious food - excellent tour guide The tour guide - Rachel - was phenomenal! Super friendly and engaging. The food was delicious and we learned a lot - great tips and suggestions, history, etc. I wished we would have done it earlier! Highly recommend it!

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!!!

Absolutely worth it! Rachel and Michalis were amazing, friendly, warm, knowledgable and passionate about Greek food and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and found their suggestions of other tavernas to visit to be great!! So very glad we took this tour. We had more than enough good food and drinks to go around our group. Rachel's stories were fascinating and we both learned so much.

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.

Fun, amazing, personable food tour of Athens! 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.

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.

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. We met with her and the rest of the group at the 2nd location and she was so welcoming. She even brought us a treat from the first place and offered us to join the tour another day for the first stop just so we didn’t miss that part of the experience. 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.

The key highlights were tasting the variety of olives, gigantes and ending with bougatsa!

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!

Best Possible Start for an Athens Vacation! Our party of 6 joined Rachel with another party of 3. It was such a fun evening as we walked, talked, and ate our way around.

It was such a fun evening as we walked, talked, and ate our way around. The tour included 3 restaurants where we enjoyed a seafood meal (best calamari ever), a meat dish, and finally, dessert and Greek coffee. As we passed a street olive vendor, we stopped to sample and as we passed a deli, we stopped to sample meat and cheese. In between it all Rachel and Michaelis (Rachel's husband joined us part way through the tour) offered fun explanations about the food as well as a little Athenian folklore. It was a great way to start our Greek vacation and throughout our stay we were able to order from menus with a bit more confidence than we would have without the tour! I highly recommend this tour. read less

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!

Fantastic evening. Oh, where to start? We meet Michaelis for this wonderful food tour tonight.

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

All of us had a great time. Michalis took us to several restaurants where you would only find locals. We began with phyllo stuffed with pumpkin. It was so delicious and arguably the best thing we tasted that evening. Next was a wonderful Greek Salad and bread. After that we stopped for seafood and then for beef (watch out for the camel meat - its fine, but I didn't like the idea of tasting camel!). Actually all the seafood and beef were delicious - some of the best calamari I have ever had (lightly battered and flash fried). During our tour, we walked the colorful streets of Athens and got a feel for what the locals feel in the city. We really had a good time.

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.

A must book experience in Athens The personal Details and Stories. Rachel, our guide as a terrific personality and makes you feel welcome

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 .

Food tour We recommend this tour. Rachel was fantastic, she is very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time.

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

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!!!

We stopped at two restaurants for a sit down meal. Walked to several shops to explore and sample some other food items. We had an amazing time during our food tour today! We went to two different restaurants and sampled various Greek foods. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and made our experience wonderful. We also stopped at a few shops along the way to sample some other things. I highly recommend!

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 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

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!

Food around Athens What a fantastic tour! This is only my second food tour but starting to really think that they are the best way to see a new city.

An awesome time with a knowledgeable guide We had an awesome time with Maik; he really knew the best parts of the city and showed us some really neat restaurants and vendors. This has been one of the highlights of my time in Athens.

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.

Is the best food tool in Athens It was the best tour I could of chosen .the people are lovely and and the guide were very knowledgeable about the subject. a very fun Experience and the food was very tasty It was great to try the local cuisine that the locals eat . Recommending this for everyone really great tour.

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

Authentic and fun experience w/ great food. We always love discovering great food in authentic, locals-only spots whenever we travel. Rachel created a fun and delicious experience that not only let us sample tons of great food and drink, but taught us about Athens while keeping us out of touristy spots. It was awesome. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

Personal and educative!! Mike and Rachel were just perfect!!

Mike gave with every food stop a good portion of history and story, that was just astonishing. The tour felt very personal and it was just lovely!

Thank you so much guys!!

Such a lovely tour ! Great food tour! Maik is a great guide, eager to make you discover the greek cuisine and nice neighboroods in Athens
I strongly recommend this food tour !

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.

Perfect food tour Best food tour I have been on. Rachel really knows your stuff and makes you feel like a local taking you to all the good places. The food variety was great and the knowledge of the history of the food was very informative. Highly recommended.

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!

Do This Tour! My wife and I had a great time on a noon tour with Rachel. The tour consisted of us and one other couple. What a great experience!

The first sit down meal stop at the meat market was our favorite. This is the best value tour I have ever been on. Take this tour! read less

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.

Great food and fun! Great Tour! The food was delicious and in fair quantity. Rachel was very knowledgeable and fun! I learned a lot about Greek cuisine. Would totally do again the next time we are in Athens.

Amazing food tour of athens A wonderful tour of Athens via food. You get to see the markets, and try direct from the locals. Absolutely worth the money as we ended the day full to the brim. Rachel is lovely and has a great knowledge and is super passionate. Would highly recommended. As a solo traveller it was a perfect day out.

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.

Amazing Walking Tour The Greek Traditional Food Tour around Athens was amazing. Rachel was an amazing guide. She definitely has a passion for what she does. Her candor, knowledge, and love for Athens is what makes the tour great. It is a must do!!

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

Wonderful tour of Athens Absolutely fabulous afternoon taking in the lesser known culinary sites of Athens - meeting local producers and visiting the markets. Michalis our guide was fantastic - perfect English and full of knowledge. We had two fabulous meals and won’t need to eat for a day! Highly recommend!

Not only do they share the history and culture around what we eat during the tour, but also, they are a wealth of information on other places to eat and things to do in Athens beyond 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!

Great tour! Would highly recommend

A taste of culture Rachel knows the history well and genuinely loves the culture in Athens, and showed us locations throughout central Athens that we would not have visited ourselves

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

What a fantastic time! If you are coming to Athens, do yourself a favor and sign up for this tour! I had an amazing time and met some awesome friends along the way.

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!

Rachel's Traditional Food Tour in Athens was fantastic! My family and I got a real taste of Greece and tons of wonderful recommendations.

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.

Wonderful walking tour & delicious food!! Amazing walking tour with Rachel who was so amazing, funny and very easy going. We felt special because it was just the 3 of us! Enjoyed walking around and seeing the local sights. The food by the fish market was amazing and so fresh! Thank you for showing us around & making us laugh! Much love & light from D & Trish. 💙❤💜

Perfect half day tour to experience local food We had a amazing time on this tour with Mike. We stopped at so many spots to sample fresh local delicious food! Mikes knowledge and experience in athens made the tour memorable. Everyone so friendly we definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about downtown and to ensure they eat the best food!

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.

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.

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!!

Great time tasting the wonderful and different foods of Greece! Rachel couldn’t have been more enjoyable and informative. She told us everything about what we were tasting and it was obvious that she knew all the vendors have had great relationships with them. I tasted a lot of food I’ve never tasted before (or ever thought I ever would 😁). I would most definitely recommend this experience to anyone that travels to Athens. Great job Rachel!

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!

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.

We learned a lot of stories and Rachel was a great advisor.

Great experience! A+.

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!

Best food tour in Athens This is a must do when visiting Athens. Rachel will take you to the best spots and we followed up with her recommendations the next day. She is a pleasure!

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.

Fantastic food tour! Maik was a wonderful guide - friendly, helpful and a native Athenian with fantastic knowledge of the city and its delicacies.

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.

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!

True local food experience Had a wonderful experience tasting local foods. All the tavernas we visited were Athens hidden gems with amazing food and drinks. Rachel is very friendly and was great at explaining the food culture and history. If you are in Athens and want to experience true local foods, this tour is highly recommended.

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.

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.
