We truly can't begin to fully express how wonderful Voula was on our food tour! From the minute we met her, she made us feel like family. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about Greek foods, she also shared with us historical and cultural information. She paced the tour perfectly, and we were able to try so many delicious foods. My elderly mother was supposed to be on the tour (which Voula welcomed and helped us plan for!), but at the last minute, was unable to make it. Voula sent us back to our place with food she could try. The tour was worth every penny, thanks to Voula!
We had an incredible experience touring Athens with Dionysis as our guide. From the moment we met him, his passion for the city and deep knowledge of its history shone through. He didn’t just take us to the major landmarks — he gave us the stories, context, and insights that brought Athens to life. One of the highlights of our time with Dionysis was the phenomenal dinner he arranged for us — truly a memorable meal we would have never found on our own. On top of that, he made sure we got back safely and even pointed out great local spots to eat near where we were staying. Dionysis went above and beyond in every way, and we felt like we were exploring the city with a trusted friend. We highly recommend him for any tour you’re planning in Athens — he will absolutely make it special!
My wife and I were visiting Athens for one night and reading the reviews I specifically chose Voula to lead us on a walking foodie expedition. It was a fabulous evening where were learnt much about the history of Athens and Greece, got to see places that we would not normally find and had some delicious snacks and a full Meze meal. Voula was a delight to be with, knowledgable, friendly and just great company.
Eleni has a depth of knowledge about the city from her familial roots in Athens and her deep studies and research as an archaeologist. We learned about so much more than food. Speaking of, the food tour took us to over 5 places where we must have tried over 10 dishes and sweet treats. Her energy is very calming and she knows all the best spots for each dish. You can find almost any dish in any of the Greek restaurants and bakeries, but Eleni knew where to find the long-standing locals joints and led us through several beautiful neighborhoods. Highly recommend!
