This is the 2nd time we used Voula for the 10 Tastes of Athens. Last year we enjoyed it so much and she made such a good impression we decided to book her again this year with our adult kids. She changed it up a little bit to give us a couple different places to try. It was great food and a good time. She is great and really connected with the group.

Amazing food & guide
We had an amazing time eating around Athens, being guided by Voula. Voula was like being walked around by your really knowledgeable best friend who was so excited to show you all the cool things about her town. We had the best food & the best time! Book with Voula and you won't regret it!

Great way to start our trip
Ioannis is a great tour guide. We had a nice afternoon walking around the different districts and eating a LOT of different foods. The stories he told that explained why he chose each food were very interesting and made us try new things. Go hungry though because Ioannis does not like to waste food!!😊 It was a great day!

Eat locally and enjoy Athens greatly
Voula is a wonderful host for Greek culture and food. She makes you feel like you’re having meals with a Greek friend. Food and culture go together and Voula make the 3 hour tour pass quickly you don’t want it to end.

Great tastes with Makram
Our group had a great 10 Tastes of Athens tour with Makram! The food we sampled was delicious - the kritzini (breadsticks) were a revelation - and plentiful - we should have refrained from eating all day to fully enjoy all the tasty selections! The hidden bar was a nice visit - we would not have found that on our own. We already recommended this tour and Makram to a fellow traveler.

20 out of 10 for Elena!!
Once again Elena was an amazing host and treated my husband and I to a fantastic night of Cichetti and drinks. Her love of Venice is unparalleled and her company is superb. Our time with her is now a sacred memory and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly Venetian trip down history lane.
