A Truly Wonderful Food Tour Experience We had an amazing food tour in Athens with Rachel. She was warm, kind, and truly lovely, and gave us fascinating insights into Greek culture and the people behind it. She took us to wonderful family-owned businesses, introduced us to incredibly welcoming locals, and provided detailed and engaging explanations for every tasting. The food was outstanding and the overall experience was unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Mike was a great host. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the culture through food, we ate like the locals, tasted a variety of olives and strolled through the markets to uncover just how fresh the food was (with a few tips on how to shop for fresh meat, fish and vegetables). They’ve built a great relationship with the small business and restaurant owners and employees, making for an overall lovely experience. Not only a must, I’d recommend you do this early into your trip.

Fabulous Experience Mike our guide was very informative & taught us a lot about Greek food. We had a lovely group of ladies with us, which also made it interesting as we exchanged culinary traditions from other countries. A well recommended experience, we ate plenty, so didn’t eat for the rest of the day.

Il miglior tour gastronomico a cui abbia partecipato! Sia per la varietà, la qualità e la quantità del cibo, sia per la competenza della nostra host e per la disponibilità a trovare alternative gluten free e lactose free! Consigliato a tutti!

The tour was excellent! Our guide, Arela, was friendly and very thorough. She knew so much about the market and the different foods of Greece. We got to sample a big variety of food and drink. The portion sizes were huge and we got enough food to take with us for another meal. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in food and local insights. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Tive uma experiência incrível hoje com a guia Arela! O tour foi super bem organizado e cheio de descobertas gastronômicas e culturais. Experimentamos sabores autênticos da Grécia, aprendemos sobre pratos típicos e sobremesas deliciosas, tudo com muita atenção, conhecimento e simpatia da Arela. Recomendo totalmente para quem quer mergulhar na culinária e na cultura local!

Arla was our guide and she was fantastic! She knew a lot about Greek food and took us to amazing and unique places to eat. You wouldn’t find these places on your social media recommendations. She made everything feel smooth, personal, and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made it interesting. All in our group got to know about one another prior to starting our tour. The food was amazing and we learned the history behind everything. Besides the food, we really liked the stop at the honey shop! We bought lots of these unique items to take home. By end of tour we were stuffed with great food and unique Greek drinks. I highly recommend this food walk.

I thought a 5 star rating was too good to be true but we booked 3 tickets and had the most fun we could have imagined!!! I honestly can’t say which I enjoyed more the amazing food we tried or Mike’s witty commentary (I learned more about peppers than I even knew possible ;-) We saw everything fish, olives, cured meat, sweets, honey, olive oil, … If you love food and are in Athens I fully recommend booking with Food Around Athens. You will not be disappointed!

10/10 If you’re questioning if you should book this tour, DO IT! Rachel hosted our tour group, and it was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip to Greece! Sure, you can look up food and places to eat on your own, but the connection to the culture is what made it so special. The tour was intimate but filled with laughs and openness! This is inspiring us to book a food tour on every trip we go on!

Very happy to have joined this food tour. It was for sure one of the highlights of our trip. From the beginning, everything was extremely well organized. Our guide, Arela, was very friendly, and clearly passionate about Greek food and history. It felt like being shown around by a local friend who knows exactly where to go and what to order. We had the pleasure of meeting a delightful couple from the US and we think this food tour is a great way to meet people from around the world while travelling. The portions were generous and by the end I was absolutely full, so definitely come hungry! Absolutely recommended!

I absolutely loved this food tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting stories about the local history, culture, and food. Every stop was well chosen and all the dishes were absolutely delicious. The pace of the tour was perfect, we never felt rushed, and there was plenty of time to enjoy each tasting. I discovered places I never would have found on my own. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food and wants to really get to know the city. I’d happily do it again!
