    This was a great tour! Betty, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history and mythology of the site. If was a very cold day and we were outside for a while, but she made it so interesting that we didn't mind. We also got lots of up close pictures of the site as well as of the beautiful view from up there. The museum was also fascinating. It wouldn't have been the same going by ourselves without a guide.

    One of the best parts of our stay in Athens. We got to experience foods we never would have been brave enough to order on our own. And the food is VERY good.
    Would do it again. (Don't miss the pies!)

    My husband and I loved this tour. Knowledgeable, funny guide with great stories about mythology and local culture. Was great to skip the lines and have an organized approach to a place with so much history. Definitely the way to see the Acropolis. You can buy cheap bottled water there or bring a waterbottle. Highly recommend! (We were there in October, but I also think earlier morning is best to avoid even larger crowds and the heat.)

    Our guided tour of Athens was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, [DEMI], not only took us to the city’s most famous landmarks but also immersed us in the fascinating world of Greek mythology.

    From the majestic Acropolis to the Temple of Zeus, every site was filled with incredible stories of gods, heroes, and ancient legends. One of the highlights was hearing about the legendary contest between Athena and Poseidon for the patronage of the city. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident, creating a saltwater spring, while Athena gifted the first olive tree—an offering that ultimately won her the honor of naming the city.

    Beyond the mythology, the tour was well-organized, insightful, and full of great local recommendations. If you want to experience Athens in a truly special way—where history and mythology intertwine—this tour is an absolute must!

    Enjoyed the swim, the food and the staff was fantastic. Appreciated the blankets available when it was chilly that morning. But it warmed up quickly and we enjoyed the islands.

    HIGHLY recommend this tour! The tour guide was interesting, easygoing, and a wealth of knowledge. He has a fun way of describing/showing what it was really like to be an Athens citizen in ancient times while guiding you through the city's must see sites.

    Athens Food on Foot Tour – A Delicious and Informative Experience

    If you’re a foodie visiting Athens, the Athens Food on Foot tour is a must. We had an amazing time exploring the city’s vibrant food scene with our fantastic guide, Lefteris, who was not only knowledgeable but also engaging and passionate about Greek cuisine.

    Our group was just the right size—about 12 people—which made it easy to interact without feeling crowded. The pace of the tour was well-balanced, taking around 4.5 hours. We never felt rushed, yet we covered a lot, both in terms of food and information.

    And the food—there was so much of it! From sweet and savory pastries to cheeses, olives, and traditional Greek delicacies, every stop offered something delicious. My personal favorite was the beef souvlaki—perfectly grilled and packed with flavor. And let’s not forget the Greek coffee, which was rich and aromatic, a real highlight of the experience.

    Beyond the food, Lefteris provided great insights into Greek culture, history, and culinary traditions, making the tour both delicious and educational. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, this tour is a fantastic way to dive into Athens’ food culture. Just come hungry—you’ll need the appetite!

    My wife and I showed up for our tour and found out it was just the two of us and our guide, Ilias. We weren’t sure what to expect but were completely impressed with our experience. Ilias was so knowledgeable and personable. He took his time and went the extra mile to make sure were taken care at each stop. This exceeded our expectations and we were so impressed. Ilias went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing tour. Thank you! Couldn’t recommend it more!
