Great day with Tas and all the delicious Greek food. We spent the time walking the streets in Athens and visiting several local establishments and tasting the local foods. Very worth the price paid for the tour and Tas was a real pleasure to spend time with.

Absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend!
Dana_R, Mar 2024
Wonderful tour with an amazing guide! We had many traditional tastings including pastry pies, meats, olives, coffee & gyros. Also a trip through the fresh produce & meat markets. Our guide went out of his way to connect with us and provide local history and recommendations for other activities during our stay in Athens. Absolutely fantastic!

Authentically Athens, not just a food tour.
Tyon_L, Dec 2023
Tassos was great! Knowledgeable, friendly and fun! We got a complete feel for the city through food, history and places we would not have found ourselves in just a days time. I can honestly say we experienced Athens authentically because of Tassos. Thanks again!

Cannot recommend enough. Amazing.
Sarah_V, Oct 2023
To say we loved it is an understatement. Touring with Tassos felt like visiting an old friend. He's knowledgable, personable, and showed us all the hidden gems tucked away while other tourists waited in long lines for other mediocre options. Tassos has the best stories, is hilarious, and is just a really nice guy. I'd recommend this tour to my friends, parents, big groups, small groups-- anyone. Cannot endorse enough.

Amazing food tour
Karen_A, Apr 2023
Everything about the trip was wonderful. Tassos my guide was very passionate about his city and the wonderful food places we visited. He also gave me information about the city that I did not know. It was a small group tour but I was the only person so I really had a very personal experience. One thing to bear in mind you really do get so much to eat so bring a bag to take some back.
Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for the tip about bringing a bag to take some food back. We appreciate your feedback and hope to serve you again in the future! Best regards, Spyros Kolyvas The Athenian Tours Team
Get ready for the Loukoumades!

Very detailed tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and the foods were authentic Greek foods. Bring a backpack to carry the foods that you can not eat.

This tour was so great! I got to try some absolutely amazing foods and they were all from traditional stores in Greece. It was great to walk around Athens with a local seeing the amazing sites and eating food it was the best thing I could of done. My guide was fantastic as well it was a private tour and he was very welcoming and full of information. Thanks Tassos so much for the amazing day!
