Nice shopping tour with Agathi. She was very personable and friendly. She showed us a few great boutiques including a fragrance shop and my daughter, who is very picky, found a great dress. Would do it again Good tour

Agatha was a wonderful shopping guide by taking us to various shops that had items with which we were hoping to purchase or enticed me to purchase. When we happened upon a historic site, Agitha was able to introduce us to the customs, history, or flavors of the region. She rates a 10!Fantastic shopping

Agathi took us on a tour of the shopping district of Athens and told us all about the area, its history, etc. while also taking us to the best of the olive oil and honey and products of Athens. She told us about churches and foods and explained the culture and holidays that we saw around us and how they celebrated them. What a smart, fun, kind young woman. GREAT day!Knowledgeable and fun

Loved my few hours shopping and wandering the streets with Agathi! She was great company, easy going & knowledgeable. We visited some lovely boutiques stocking several local clothes and jewellery designers which were followed up with targeted visits to labels and workshops I had admired. With insight into hidden spots and local knowledge along the way, I definitely got a lot out of the time! Thank you!Inside shopping knowledge

This was one of the highlights of my trip. It was fun, relaxed, but also very productive. I was able to visit several different types of clothing and jewelry shops and had some great finds. Agathi was very helpful in learning my style and making suggestions. It was like hanging out with a friend who knew all about local fashion and shopping. I can’t wait to wear all my new clothes back home!Best shopping!!!

We had a wonderful day shopping with Agathi. She gave us recommendations when I messaged her before the trip and catered our experience. She knows a lot about fun places to go in Athens so if you have any questions you should ask.Fun day shopping

I had the pleasure of spending 3 hours with Agathi. Once I told her what style and price point I was comfortable with, she took me to some fantastic places with a focus on Greek Designers. She is knowledgeable about fashion, pleasant and fun to chat with. If you are looking for a unique shopping experience, she is your girl. Fabulous Time!

I like that Agathi had tailored my Tour to what I was interested in for my shopping tour. Saw such amazing things and she was a very wonderful guide. I even pre-ordered a custom made dress from one of the stores we went to and she followed up with me and the store well after the tour was over to ensure that it was delivered to my hotel in a timely manner. That is over and beyond. She made me feel like I was her guest here and it was so much appreciated. Thank you so much.🥰🇬🇷🙏🏾I stopped until I dropped with Agathi 🥰

Me wife and I joined Agathi ona tour combining her shopping and Vegan food experience. We are vegetarians not Vegans so the tours were modified for us to taste savory cheese and sweet custard breakfast pies. After exploring the market we had a olive tasting then a cheese sampling in a local deli. As this is an experience we were able to talk with Agathi as a friend and not just an impersonal guide.
She modified her standard shopping tour to concentrate on Woman’s clothing using natural fabrics. We went home later with two full shopping bags.
Lunch was gyros using mushrooms at a vegan snack bar.
Do not hesitate to book with her if you are interested in learning about Greek vegetarian cooking or want an experience resembling shopping with a cousin while visiting another city.Combined Shopping Veggie food tour

Agatha is very easy to talk to and have a pleasant conversation with. She was also kind enough to accpet a change in schedule reuquest, due to the fact that i was caught up in sometimg and couldnt make the original timing or date
The tour was customized to my needs and my expectations were both met and exceeded

My few hours with Agathi was a highlight in my trip to Athens. She took to me places I would never have found on my own. She helped me with the shop owners. She is kind and patient and easy to spend time with. I'll call on her the next time I am in Athens!Agathi is wonderful !

My family had a shopping tour with Agathi in April. She was very upbeat during the tour despite the constant pouring rain for the entire duration of it (think soaked through sneakers and socks). Her communication prior to and during the tour was excellent, and she took my requests for stops on the tour with ease as well as making some suggestions, especially given the weather. Thanks Agathi!fun morning out despite the rain

We had the pleasure to have Agathi show us around the shopping districts for the whole
Morning. She is so nice and knows all the best shops to get whatever you want at the best prices. And if that wasn’t enough she bargained for discounts what helped me to save and buy even more things that I was hoping . I highly recomend her for any tours, shopping, sightseeing , whatever tour you choose , if your lucky to get Agathi to show you around you will certainly enjoy it!

Had a great time with Agathi touring around some great shops in Athens. Visited some amazing studios of top designers, some small boutiques of local designers. Agathi was great fun, happy to deviate from the tour if we spotted something different. We had a great time with a great guide. Shop Till You Drop

Agathi is a friendly and polite person who will make you feel very comfortable.
She is always willing to give information about the features, quality and availability of different products, to find unique items only for you, to give advice and help while you are shopping.
She will guide you to the shops so you can explore truly local items among handmade clothes and shoes of modern and alternative Greek exclusive designers, elegant jewels, unique accessories, personal care products and of course delicatessen of exceptional Greek tastes.
The best shopping tour !Shop 'til You Drop in Athens

Wir hatten zu viert diese Tour gebucht und sind vollkommen glücklich und voll gefuttert. Agathi ist super lieb und hat uns viel erzählt, nicht nur übers Essen sondern auch über geschichtliche Gebäude oder Ereignisse. Jede essens Station hat uns seht gut geschmeckt. Es war toll, dass es ein Gemisch aus traditioneller Küche sowie moderne war. Vielen Dank! Einfach lecker und lieb

My spouse and I decided to do this tour at the last minute because we had done something similar in Paris and had a lot of fun. Scheduling spontaneously was very easy. We have spent a lot of time in Greece at our family’s home but not in Athens. The vegan foods were familiar to us and some of our favorites. We got to see Athens neighborhoods we had not been to, practice our Greek, and enjoy the company of Agathi, who we would highly recommend as a guide for any of her tours. Familiar and fun

Agathi took great care in adressing the taste of “regular food parents” during this Vegan tour with daughter and son in law…both Vegans.
Thank you very much also for the historic references and good advicee for our stay in Athens and the Islands!Vegan daughter along with parents

Agathi was a wonderful tour guide. I booked a vegan tour for my good friends birthday. Agathi showed us around Athens and took great care of us while taking time to talk to each of us and answer any question. I liked that she took time to talk not only of food, but the surrounding city. Not all of us that took the tour were vegan, she happily accommodated by adding more than one option for everyone in the group. Please book a tour with her, you will not be disappointed!Wonderful tour

We spent a week in Athens exploring the city center, so this walk along the seaside offered a refreshing and unique perspective. Agathi was wonderful—knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience truly enjoyable. The 3-hour walk flew by, and we didn’t feel the time pass at all!"Unique walk

Agathi was great with our 6-year-old daughter and toddler. The kids had so much fun playing in the water park and taking in the views. This is definitely a tour not to miss, especially for a relaxed day with the family.Great with Kids!

Agatha was an amazing host. She reached out to use frequently leading up to our meet up, and showed us a different side of Athens then what we'd experienced. The tour was very kid centric. My very social 8 year old really enjoyed talking and playing with her and she even got my little antisocial 4 year old to come around. She made sure to include the adults and give us interesting facts. I would definitely recommend her. Family day

We had a lovely morning with Agathi, she showed us local delicacies and tailored the stops to suit our tastes. We were able to experience food spots that we would have previously walked straight past. Not only did we get to have an inside look at the local bakeries, cafes and eateries but Agathi also had great historical knowledge of the areas of Athens. We were able to get a greater understanding of what life is like in Athens for the locals. Agathi is both friendly and knowledgeable. An absolute highlight of our trip to Athens. Thank you!Great food and local knowledge

I had a lovely morning with Agathi showing me all her favourite places in trendy Athens for eating and shopping. All her food choices were absolutely delicious, lots of veggie and vegan options available too. The clothing and jewellery shops were delightful and I ended up buying a gorgeous summer dress and a couple of unique tops that I'm happy with. The extra virgin olive oil tasting was fun and I did all my gift shopping for friends and colleagues during our morning, which was useful. Agathi is fun and knowledgeable, infused some history into our walk about, and I highly recommend her tour. Agathi's tour is a great way to go to all the best local places and avoid the touristy options.Fabulous Food Tasting and Shopping Spree

A lovely eating tour around Athens. Tried many things and learnt things about Greek food that was unaware of. The smoothie was amazing and we have returned to this place already. Don't eat before the trip so you really enjoy it.Great experience

Agathi was amazing! We went to (I believe) seven food shops. All the food was amazing! We made two additional stops at my request. We talked about food and her country and my country, similarities and differences. This was my best experience in Athens!!! Not vegan- don’t let that scare you. Guaranteed you will love this tour. A must-do experience in Athens!!!

Agathi walked us around some of Athens and not only introduced to us Vegan food possibilities but also some of the Athen’s sites we wouldn’t have know about. I took pictures of the different foods and the names & was confident over the next two weeks of travel, that when I ordered something, that food was actually Vegan. Definitely worth the price and time. 😀Fantastic tour.

Agathi was a knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly guide. Great introduction to the architecture and design of the cultural centre and its affiliated park, who offered fun for our kids. On hot days the walk along the marina is quite a challenge, but the reward can be found at the end, where we we enjoyed a swim in clean and cool waters at a small and charming Athenian beach.Contemporary culture and seaside fun

Our first ever food tour, and it exceeded all our hopes for the day!
Agathi was a fantastic tour guide, giving us so much information - beyond even just the vegan food options in the city. She is super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed and regularly checked we were doing okay (Greece in July is difficult for us Scots not used to the heat!).
The walk was great, giving us time to see lots of spots in the city but at a good pace that never felt like a march or a sprint!
And of course the food was delicious, varied, fresh, and all came with interesting context and background information on the dish and ingredients.
We recommend booking this food tour early into your trip as it will teach you what vegan treats to look out for in the remainder of your visit to Athens.First ever food tour, exceeded our hopes!

What can we say? Our Vegan Food tour of Athens with Agathi was outstanding and delicious! It was an absolute delight to tour the city with a very warm and knowledgeable guide who shares our love of plant based eating. There were mouth watering treats at every single stop! We highly recommend this tour! Thank you so much, Agathi! Fabulous family tour

Agathi is amazing! She was warm and welcoming from the very start. Very experienced and knowledgeable. Not only did we learn about vegan food in Athens, we learned a lot about the life, culture, and history of Athens. She didn't just take us to eating spots, we also stopped at some historical sites, anything we were curious about. She went way above and beyond the posted description of the tour. And, of course, the food was delicious! It was nice to eat and not have to worry if there was meat or dairy in the food. The tour went at a nice pace. We didn't get too full at any one spot. This tour is worth more than the price. I highly recommend it!Wonderful Day in Athens!

We really enjoyed this tour. Agatha was flexible in planning the tour around our food preferences. She took us to a number of places: olive oil and honey tasting, nut sampling, fruit juice choices, spanikapita and vegetarian souvlaki, bakery, and doughnuts ice cream. Best of all she provided insight into the neighborhoods and their history. She was patient with us when we wanted to stop even though this lengthened our tour. Don't forget to ask for photos of her attractive toddler son! All in all a great experience.Getting to know atyens through its food

Plus she knows so much about the history of Athens! We learned all about the different neighborhoods in Athens while trying amazing dishes. I highly recommend this guide and tour.

Agathi is an incredibly talented, friendly and knowledgable guide. The food she gave us to try was all deliciously tasty and gave us a real privileged insight into the food culture of Athens from the perspective of an Athenian, it was an honour.
Our favourite food was the Koulouri rings which I haven’t stopped thinking about since we got home.
Agathi’s tour was so much more than simply food, she gave us Greek history and provided really valuable opportunities for cross cultural dialogue.
She also recommended a brilliant bar aswell as a theatre show which made our stay really memorable. I hope to meet her again one day and recommend her highly to anyone looking for a vegetarian or vegan tour of Athens! Agathi’s brilliant food tour

Agathi is a very lovely, charming, friendly, interesting, intelligent and personal guide.
Our children were delighted with the varied afternoon program.
Her extensive knowledge also about the political and economic situation of her home country made her an intellectually very interesting conversation partner also for the adults. At the same time, she lovingly showed us the wonderfully beautiful sides of her hometown and brought them closer in a whitty, humorous and interesting way.
Last but not least, she told us where to find secret places to visit that only the locals know about.Very entertaining afternoon for the family

My first visit to Greece and I wanted to try and learn about different foods that are local and readily available by everyone, not just me as a tourist. Agathi was my guide, and she was amazing! She was very sweet, approachable with any questions, and we laughed together, a lot. Our tour was around three hours. Agathi took me to try olive oils produced from all over Greece, different breads and sandwiches, and desserts, and more. What I enjoyed just as much was walking with her through all different sorts of neighborhoods, seeing and meeting locals, and learning about the history of each area. Agathi took me to a bakery that has been in business for over 125 years at the same spot. Crazy Awesome! I would never has visited or learned about these neighborhoods without her. It was a wonderful day, and being in Greece for over six weeks this was my favorite day.
Agathi took what was already a good day and she made it great. I am not sure if she can be requested, but you should try and book her.
Agathi, you made an incredible memory for me. I will continually share it with my friends and family and remember it and you. Thank you so much for being an awesome person and spending the day with me!
You are a Super Star!
A great memory, always,
