Testimonials
Our guide gave us the most exquisite lesson in true traditional Greek cuisine that we could have hoped for. We tried and evaluated olive oils with an olive oil Somalia, ate the meal, and learned about Greek history and culture from a native who adores her country, particularly Athens. Thank you for a fantastic experience, Antonio!

This tour was perfect for anyone who loves to eat and wants to try local bites. We had so much food and loved everything we tried – especially the tapas spot and olive oil lesson with Erika. Our guide, Goti (spelling?), was so sweet and knowledgeable. We loved her bonus information about the city and its history mixed with the food recommendations. We especially loved that she let us try (a couple of times!) her favorite shot with Greek liquor and honey. There is a lot of food, especially on the back end, so come prepared to great!
