It's the best tours in Athens. Orestis is the best guide with a great combination of food and history. And a great sense of humour to add. Not to much walking and the tasting is fantastic. Highly recommend this tour.

Good introduction to local food

Stella was a great tour guide! This tour was a good way to see some parts of Athens that we wouldn't have otherwise seen and try some local foods away from the the tourist locations.
