My wife and I booked this tour and we were at the meeting location at the time specified. Unfortunately, there was another tour that was meeting at the same time and location as ours. In short, we went with the wrong tour guide, ugh, how could we have done that??? Well, the guide showed up and asked if we were all here for the tour. Of course we said yes. He never said which tour and we didn't ask (I know, our bad). By the time we figured out that we were on the wrong tour, it was too late to catch up with the food tour. We learned from another participant that another tour guide (presumably the food tour guide) asked the other tour guide if there was anyone in his group that was there for the food tour and, apparently, he said no. We did not see or hear that discussion. The food tour guide did not address the group asking if anyone was there for the food tour nor did the food tour guide call out our names. The food tour guide did send us a text and called us but we did not have service at the time as we were from out of the country. Well this is partially my fault as we should have been more proactive making sure that we were on the right tour but who would have guessed there were 2 tours at the same time from the same location. However, I believe the guide bears some responsibility for not calling out our names or not asking the group directly if anyone was there for the food tour. I explained this to viator and asked for a refund but they put the responsibility back on me. Disappointed we paid for a tour that we did not get to experience and I feel we should have been at least partially refunded.

Dear John,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused you and we are sorry that you couldn’t join the tour on any of the alternative dates that were offered by the guide.
We would like to assure you that this has never happened before on any of our tours and we understand that our guide's many attempts to reach out to you were not enough in this case.
We are always looking to improve our service to our guests and we will make sure that this will never happen again in the future.

Our tour guide was amazing! We started off with local cheese and wine which was amazing! We went on to try lots of other foods, both savory and sweet. The olive oil shop was our favorite and we were able to purchase some bottles to take home.

Agatha was a fantastic guide! We sampled a variety of food, and Agatha was full of knowledge about Athens. She was very personable and made our food tour a fun and memorable experience.

We enjoyed the tour, our guide Agatha was excellent with follow-up text messages prior to our tour. We went through neighborhoods that we would have missed had we not taken the tour, so it was a good way of getting the lay of the land. The tasting started with desserts
(loukoumades) and ended with street food (gyros, souvlakis), which i would've preferred the reverse order. All in all it was a good way to sample foods and see Athens in one tour!

Agatha guided us on a wonderful tour around Athens where we enjoyed savoury and sweet delights. Her knowledge of both food and the areas visited was vast and interesting . She made us feel very relaxed and we really enjoyed the fun experience.

Absolutely loved it!! Agatha was an absolute delight, she knew all the best places to try out local food. You would never find these places as tourist. We had so much food we had to pack some takeaway.

I cannot recommend Agatha highly enough! My grandson and I had such a wonderful, informative food tour with her. We went to the markets, tasted olives and olive oils, honeys, and local Greek meats and cheeses, Greek donuts and souvlaki too! Agatha was so knowledgeable and so nice. Do yourself a favor and take this tour.

My wife and I started our first full day in Athens with Agatha. It was an incredible way to start our trip. We ended up being the only people on the tour. Agatha was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and personable. We learned so much from Agatha about the history of Greek food and culture. It was truly an unforgettable experience and an amazing way to learn about Athens. She took us to many different parts of Athen so you get a comprehensive look at the city! You stop for the most amazing breakfast pastries, a tour through the meat and vegetable markets of Athens, with a charcuterie board served after and you finish the tour near the Acropolis with a delicious gyro! I would recommend anyone join this tour with Agatha.
