My husband and I were in port for the day, and having been in Athens before, we wanted to do something different. This was the best choice, and so glad we did! If you arrive on a cruise ship, you need a driver to get to the meeting point. Anna was our guide. We had so much fun with her. I can't tell you enough how wonderful all the food was from the Greek coffee, the olives, the meat and cheese, the doughnuts, the fantastic gyros (we are still talking about how amazing they were), and everything else in between. We walked through the meat market, the fish market, and the vegetable market. We also stopped in a few churches. We took our time at all the stops, never felt rushed. Again, can't say enough about this tour and the food. Great choice and variety for all the stops. Highly recommend this tour, and go hungry! Anna - it took us the rest of the cruise to finish the olives! I wish we had that here!

Wonderful Food Adventure
We enjoyed every minute of our food tour. Dorela made the experience enjoyable with her knowledge of food, locations, and sense of humor. She was honest with her commentary and her interactions with the the tour group was filled with great energy. The food was amazing, next time we are in Greece we will definitely book with her again.
Great fun
We had a superb time on our food tour. The guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. You try so many flavours, textures, food and drink its unbelievable. No one in the group realised there would be so much. The tour lasted 4 hours but flew by and was over too soon. Highly recommended indeed.
