We had a wonderful day touring the food market with George and learning about the selection process for meats and fishes. We followed the tour with a hands on cooking experience in a private home [...]
"We really enjoyed our tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took care of all our dietary preferences. He also showed us street art that we really enjoyed. Thank you for a wonderful and delicious afternoon!"
"On our last full day we met Yannis Ninos- a chef with the ultimate respect and deep passion for Greek culture through food.
Our tour was beyond expectations. Yannis took us to the paces in Athens that are not just incredible food but tell the stories of the Greek cultural over the ages. His knowledge of the city and how people live and communicate was beyond anything [...]"
"No words can describe our food adventure with Yannis Ninos! He knows so much about Greek culture, food & history! We tasted so many delicious greek foods! He is personable, funny & smart! The food is amazing! The tour of the shops &
Markets very interesting & everyone knew & loved him! I recommend!"
"We had such a great time on our food/wine/beer tour! Our guide, Panos, was extremely knowledgeable about the local foods and drinks. We started at a small cafe for coffee and a cheese pie and followed it up with a few more hours of meats, cheeses, beers and wines and good times! We were able to set the pace and just enjoy it. Panos was a great guy to hang out with and an amazing musician. We didn’t get a live performance, but his music was playing at our final stop (a really nice wine bar)!! Highly recommend this tour!"
"We had this tour with George over 5 hours and it was the most enjoyable way of getting to know the city. George was approachable, knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to tour with. He went out of his way just to make sure we were always comfortable. The food was plenty and pace was just right."
Agree with previous commenters, great guides and very knowledgeable
My boyfriend and I went on the Flavors of Athens tour while visiting friends in Greece last month. We spent our first day or two seeing the sights and by day four we were looking for something different. Since we're foodies, we picked the above. Our guide, George, brought us to some fabulous locations and his affable personality made my day. Worth every penny!
Thoroughly Enjoyable Afternoon Out
First and foremost, Athens Insiders did a great job of accommodating a last-minute tour request. I wouldn't have blamed them if they had decided to say "too bad, too late, maybe next time", but they worked with me throughout the day before my tour to customize the experience. Our guide, Yannis, was incredibly knowledgeable and an overall interesting guy. He showed us areas of the city we wouldn't have thought to explore otherwise and shared stories of Athen's past and present while helping us explore the Greek food scene. It was fun, relaxing, and we learned a lot.
