Unbelievable food tour!

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!

When we were choosing this tour, it was more expensive than the others but it was very well planned with 8 stops and an abundance of delicious Greek specialties. Our guide, Penelope was delightful. She was knowledgeable and funny. She took us to places that locals go because of the yummy food. Just the type of tour we were hoping for! The group was small, only 7 so we could hear her without the earpiece devices. We tasted many wonderful items I had never heard of. At the end of the tour she helped us find shops that sold food "souvenirs" we wanted to take home. That evening she followed up with an email giving us the names of all the things we tasted. I wish we could give Penelope and this tour ten stars.

Athens Night Tour with Cocktail and Souvlaki

A truly local experience

I had a great time hanging out with Vagelis and his friend Nick. We walked around Exarchia, ate local foods, sat in an alley, and talked about life. Vagelis went the extra mile to cater a tour in line with my interests. The guys invited me to spend another evening out with them in Kerameikos, which too was very nice. As a cool bonus, Vagelis took several pictures of me -- great memories! But above all else, we made friends, which is a tremendous opportunity for me to understand the Greek life and Greeks better.

Great Evening with Marina

I had a great time with Marina wine bar hopping around Athens! She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. It was the perfect way to spend my first night in Athens after a long flight.

Terrific Tour

Our tour with Eleni was fabulous. We loved seeing parts of Athens we would never have found and tasting authentic Greek dishes. Eleni was a perfect host, so warm and interesting. She was an excellent ambassador for Greek cuisine and gave us a glimpse of how Greeks live outside the tourist haunts. We were very pleased to receive a follow-up email with notes from our tour, some favorite recipes and even her suggestions for food in our upcoming stay in Santorini. We try to do food tours in cities we visit and this was an excellent choice. One of my favorite discoveries in Greece was the drink Maotixa. We bought a bottle at one of Eleni’s stops and smiled every time we had a drink. I only hope I can find it in the US. Eleni and GreekingMe Food tours were a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Athens.

Excellent Customized Private Tour By Marina

I have been to Athens at least 5 times previously. Marina did a fantastic job emailing me about my likes, where I have been, what we like and don’t like and many other questions which was great as she was understanding likes and dislikes.

She really hit a “home-run” last night. We simply spent the evening at a wonderful deli in a suburb south of the Acropolis owned by two gentlemen who are passsionate about Greece and about the food and beverage they serve.

I could not ask for a better prepared evening. My conversation with Marina was wonderful. She understands American and English cultures very well. The best time and investment I have made in the 5 times I have been to Athens.

Please contact Marina as she will organize any type of personalized tour you and interested in.

What a wonderful tour!

Dorella (I called her “Doe” because I can’t roll my “R’s” very well) was our guide and her knowledge of the area and cuisine was amazing! She was born and raised In the area we toured and offered an education in all aspects of cuisine but also any other subject we inquired about. Her smile and enthusiasm was contagious and brighter than the Greek sun that day. We definitely received a fantastic overview of Greek food and it’s history all the while sampling said history. We will definitively be back to do the tour again with Dorella - but we might have to back off eating so many delicious Loukoumades! (Beware the warm sweet fluffy crispy Loukoumades, they come early on in the tour and it’s a marathon not a sprint! ) Our best food tour to date in our many travels. Well done!

Fabulous Food Tour

Got to experience the food tour in the night thanks to my friends who gifted it to me and my wife. We had no idea what to expect but by the end of the tour we decided that for all our future trips we will start with a food tour.

Elena was fabulous in taking us through the various options of Greek cuisine and that set the tone for our wonderful two-week trip. We had this on the first night in Athens and thanks to Elena's tips we visited a few more restaurants in other places across Greece. On the night we were back in Athens we went back to one of the restaurants (Ergon Deli).
We will definitely recommend everyone who visits Greece (especially Asians) who are not familiar with authentic Greek cuisine to signup with these guys.
Thanks for the experience.

Highly personalized and insightful foray into Greek Cuisine

Elena, our guide took us (my husband and me) through a lovely night time stroll through the Syntagma, Monastiraki, Plaka and Psirri. She took us to a variety of places from chic cafes to family-run tavernas. We loved just about every dish we sampled and learnt so much about the cuisine, it's influences and the history. We did the tour on the first day of our 2 week holiday and this set us up so well for the rest of our trip. We knew what to order going forward and were not stuck to eating Sovlaki and Gyros for every meal. Elena gave us helpful suggestions about restaurants to visit in Santorini and Nafplio as well. Thank you GreekingMe and Elena for this wonderful experience.

The best first evening in Athens!

We booked this wine hoping tour for our first evening in Athens and it was our first experience of the city.
Marina was a great host and took us to two excellent wine bars which we would have simply not found on our own. We learnt loads about Greek wine and the best varieties to choose. We also had an amazing cheese and meat platter.
Marina was really interested in our tastes and what we had planned for our trip and gave us a few more recommendations. She also sent an email with plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars which kept us busy for the rest of the week.
Couldn't recommend a better way to experience Athens!

Wonderful evening with Vangelis!

Vangelis gave me so much useful advice when I was in Athens. He helped me find an amazing, traditional restaurant in a local neighbourhood, recommended things to do and see and taught me a lot about life in Athens. I learnt a lot and had a lovely evening. A great way to see the real, everyday Athens, and get away from the tourists. Very kind guy! It was a true pleasure!

This was my favourite part of our Athens Trip! Our guide Tiama was so passionate about the food and city that it was impossible not to enjoy our night. She was able to explain the food we were eating and give it context to life in Athens. Plus everything was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to visit again and bring new people to experience the city and this tour.

Marina was amazing!!!

I would recommend this to anyone going to Athens. I have Celiac, and the care that was taken to assure I had fun and didn’t get sick was fantastic!!! We did a private tour with Marina ( I hope I have the spelling correct) she was a blessing, and made sure the extras my friend asked for were executed. The next time I’m there I will do this again!

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.

We had the best time on our tour with Penelope! She was everything you would want a local guide to be- extremely knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming. We loved that she had an iPad with her to show us how sites might have looked thousands of years ago. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone

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.

We had a blast wine bar hopping with Marina! She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Greek wines. This was just what we needed on our last night in Athens. Two thumbs up! We hope to stay in touch to learn about how we can buy Greek wines to have shipped to us.
