A Must-Do in Athens!

We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a food tour in the Monastiraki Square area of Athens with Tatialena, and it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we met her, her warmth and genuine passion for Athenian cuisine and history were evident. What truly set Tatialena apart was her ability to create a personalized and engaging experience. She shared fascinating local and historical insights, bringing Monastiraki to life. Traveling with our four-month-old son presented some unique challenges, but Tatialena handled everything with incredible grace and understanding. She was incredibly patient, allowing us time for diaper changes and feedings without missing a beat. Her kindness and willingness to accommodate our needs made us feel completely at ease. Beyond her knowledge and helpfulness, Tatialena is simply a delightful person. She's funny, engaging, and made the tour a truly fun and memorable experience. We sampled some incredible local foods, and her recommendations were spot-on. If you're looking for a food tour in Athens that's authentic, insightful, and tailored to your needs, look no further than Tatialena. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone visiting Athens, especially those traveling with young children. Thank you, Tatialena, for an unforgettable experience!

A great experience with a friendly host.

We booked Vasiliki for a food tour and a wine tasting and we loved both experiences. Vasiliki was passionate about Athens and was keen to show us all aspects of the city from the old to new. The food and the wine were excellent and she couldn't do enough for us. We'd recommend both tours and Vasiliki in particular. Thanks again!

A Perfect December Outing

We spent Christmas in Athens and wanted one day outside the city. We chose the trip to Cape Sounion and Nikos because of his interest in history and archaeology. Because of the time of the year, we were not interested in a beach stop but wanted a coastal drive and munch in a local restaurant. We also asked him to suggest anything else of interest in the area. He collected us from our hotel at 9.30 a.m. The drive to Cape Sounion was stunningly beautiful. On the way, he provided interesting information about ancient and modern Athens. He was very easy to talk to, and we enjoyed the conversation. At Sounion ,we had all the time we wanted to explore the temple precinct, soak up the atmosphere and marvel at the play of sea, distant mountains and light. Afterwards , he took us to the ancient silver mines in Lavrio. This area was new to us. Nikos gave us detailed explanations of the history of the area, the ancient mining processes and also showed us the stone theatre. Afterwards, we went to a small taverna for an excellent local. lunch . We arrived back at the hotel shortly before five. Nikos was an exceedingly pleasant and knowledgeable companion. He was thoughtful and understanding of my reduced mobility and completely fulfilled all our expectations for the day.
