A food tour not to miss! One of the BEST ones I've ever done - a great introduction to Greek cuisine and the city. I tried a variety of traditional tastes, all of them of very good quality. Our group was small and our guide was fun and very knowledgeable. Such a great day! I would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing. The food was quite enjoyable. I was so full by the end of the tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and made the tour fun by adding in little games we could play to increase our knowledge. I highly recommend this tour!!!
