Working in Athens this week, I had a few hours of free time and booked this tour as a way to both explore the city and the Greek culture. The tour was amazing and surpassed my expectations in so many ways. In terms of the food itself the tour was very generous in terms of the amount and variety of food/drink that are available to try as part of the tour. In addition to tasting the food/drink, the tour was filled with lots of interesting information about the food/drink culture and other aspects of Greek culture as well. It was really interesting to walk amongst the different food markets and observe life in Athens. My tour guide Eva was fantastic - the tour has a limit of 10 people per group but I was the only person booked in for the tour. I was slightly apprehensive about this however Eva completely put me at ease and was the perfect guide for the tour. I would 100% recommend booking on to this tour!

The tour was fantastic! Our guide was a joy, he really made the experience special. The local taprooms were very nice and the different beers we got to try were delightful. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience great local beers, beautiful scenery, interesting and intelligent conversation, and a fun night out.

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish! George our sommelier was fantastic, so knowledgeable and attentive. He made the whole tasting fun and we gained a lot of knowledge. The view was also stunning of the Acropolis! 1000% would recommend. Emily and Danny xx

Nice tour to start in the evening . The lovely guide shows us hidden places I’d never seen in my 20 times in Athens center . Great for Athens explorer to come deeper into the heart of the city

Manuel is a great guide. Really knowledgeable about beer and the local area. If you're a beer lover this is a must do tour of the budding Greek beer culture.
