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!

The pace of the tour was well set and the time passed much too quickly because we were so engaged in the process. She has a very positive demeanor and we enjoyed her company immensely.
