Street food tasting in the locals favorite hidden places

Arela was a fantastic guide. Warm and generous with her time and energy and enthusiastic about her beautiful home city and the Greek culture and food. We ate so much delicious food and learnt many interesting things. Would definitely recommend this tour.

If you are questioning if you should do this, don’t! This was an amazing way to start our trip! Great way to see the neighborhood and taste different dishes. The honey and oil tasting was fantastic!

This is such a great way to see the market and other shops that locals go to lead by a local guide. We were able to try so many fantastic foods we wouldn’t have thought to order on our own, and go to amazing shops we wouldn’t have known to try. Highly recommend!

Literally all of it was great. Firstly, Rachel reached out to us to upgrade to their 3.5 hour tour so that we could be in a group with another couple that same morning, which was really amazing of them. Arela, our guide, was friendly and taught us so much. She took us to multiple olive oil, olive, and honey tastings in addition to multiple food stops. Everywhere we went were local/ family owned type shops. Arela didn't just expose us to food but also to culture. There were a few great interactions in the markets that resulted in many laughs and she translated the interactions for us so we could all join in the levity. Then towards the end of the tour she answered any questions we had, including anything from good coffee to the metro. It was truly a fabulous experience that checked all the boxes and I will forever look at olive oil and honey differently.

Wow this is a MUST DO!! I’d recommend doing this at the beginning of your trip. Our guide, Arila, was ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! So friendly and fun and had AMAZING recommendations. We did this tour on our last day and I had the most delicious spanakopita which I would’ve gone to get every single day afterward if not for leaving Athens several hours later. Arila had great recommendations, taught us how exactly to sample olive oil, what to look out for when looking for places to eat at, and other suggestions. I STRONGLY recommend you do this tour. Also as other reviewers say, don’t eat beforehand because she will make sure you eat plenty!
