Adele was knowledgeable, fun and kind. Enjoyed spending time with her on the tour. Food was delicious and lots of it. Especially enjoyed the Artist hotel and the meat and fish markets. Thank you

Our tour guide, Dora, was warm, personable and had a great knowledge of all things Greek (and European) food. We tried some new things and the originals of all the fake Greek I've had in the states. Big difference in quality for sure.

Had a great time with Dora. Ended up with lots of leftovers, but they were gone by the next day! Will be returning for more of that spanikopita

We had an incredible time! Our guide, Anabelia, was extremely personable and knowledgeable. We received an immense amount of food, good recommendations, and tastes of wine and ouzo as well. There was an excess of food so definitely don’t eat beforehand. Overall, our Athens trip wouldn’t have been the same without Ana’s guidance!

Tour guide was great! We walked the area including the market. The food was delicious the only problem was I could not eat everything because there was so much food

Don’t eat beforehand as you’ll have plenty of excellent Greek food and drink at great locations. Our guide was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed it, but I should have gone on it at the beginning of my week in Athens, not at the end, as I learned much.

We went on a private food tour with Adele. She was fantastic - very knowledgeable and passionate about Greek food and culture. The places we visited were great, and we returned to a few of them later in the week. Adele also provided recommendations for other restaurants and bars. We visited many of those, and they were also wonderful. Highly recommend!

This was a complete and fantastic tour of Greek Food in Athens including a trip to the market to see the sea food, meat and vegetable vendors. The variety was wonderful and portions generous including wine beer and ouzo. Dora was a great guide and had a love of her topic and an understanding of the food drinks and the processes. We got to see real neighbourhoods and interact throughout the experience.
