Honeymoon Food Tour

Bianca gave me and my wife the absolute best food tour we’ve ever had. We were in Athens for our honeymoon and she amplified our experience with her intimate knowledge of the city, the food, and Greek culture as a whole. We cannot recommend her enough. Well worth the price. The tour was 4 hours and by the end, we felt like we were having a meal with a family member. She gets all the stars. 10/10

Athens Foodie Tour

John took us to several eateries throughout Athens. The food was delicious and he did a great job explaining the history behind each item and its significance in Greek culture. We even got to go through a street fresh fish and meat market with hundreds of vendors.

we went to about five or six food places, as well as had some delicious coffee.

John did a fantastic job! We love the food and he did a great job not only with the food, but giving us history of Athens.

Best Tour of Athens

Our experience was nothing short of wonderful. Blanca took time to explain what each experience was and why it was so important to the people of Greece. She explained how to determine which olives were from the region. She was so comfortable to be with. We even determined that we had similar up brings even though we were from two totally different parts of the world. We learned, laughed, and left as friends.

A memorable food tour

Bianca was a wonderful guide, giving us a solid historical background for Athens in addition to sharing delicious foods of the region, a walk through the city streets, and an overview of the fantastic street art. She was personable, knowledgeable, and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend her food tour.

Wonderful Greece cuisine private tour

Our guide, John, was excellent. He took us around the northern and Western sides of the acropolis. We stopped at several spots that he knows to eat local food. We also went to several churches and he told us about the history of Greece and it's churches. It was a wonderful experience.
