We just completed a Flavor of Athens Food Tour with 6 couples who we are very close friends. Our group has varied tastes in food and drink and this tour exceeded all of our expectations! George lead our group and he was exceptional! George is a classically trained chef and is also an expert on Athen’s history. George did a great job in comparing the new Greek tastes we experienced with American dishes that we are familiar with in order to help us understand differences and similarities.

I highly recommend this tour with Athens Insiders!

Did the Acropolis and Food tour.Great combination! History meets modern life and the Greek food culture in a fun 4-hour tour. Our state-licensed guide Maria and Insider guide Panos offered us a unique experience. Highly recommend it to everyone!

This was exactly what we were looking for. George was great keeping both us and our early 20 kids engaged. The food was good but we really enjoyed the off script stuff that George showed us and talked about. His enthusiasm for the food and helping us understand the culture was great. He also is a Johnny Cash fan which we lived since we are from Nashville.

Athens Insiders organizes the tours and excursions for my wife and I during our stay in Athens. The guides were all very knowledgeable, and experienced, immersing us in the culture, mythology and ancient history. We loved our walking tour of Athens, visit to the Acropolis and museums and were impressed by the time each guide was willing to spend answering our questions in detail and giving us a detailed look at all the things that interested us most. Stelios and especially Sissi were spectacular guides in Athens.

The highlight of our entire 12 day trip was the 3 days we spent with our private driver and guide Yannis Varouhakis. Yannis stood out to us within the first few hours of our private excursion to the Temple of Poseidon. He conversed in fluent English as though it is a first language and was able to carry on the most interesting discussions on all topics from art, architecture, ancient and modern history, philosophy and politics, etc. He stoped at any location that he thought we would appreciate in harmony with our conversations, places not even included in our original tour itinerary allowing us to dive even deeper into to the different periods of history and culture that we otherwise would have missed. He took us to all the best and coziest family restaurants, helping us order the most traditional as well as adventuresome dishes, even taking us back into the kitchens to make it a truly fabulous culinary experience.

It was hard to say good buy to Greece not just because of the magic of history and culture that reside in her coasts and ancient ruins, but also because it was hard to say good buy to our new friend Yannis. We highly recommend both Athens Insiders and especially Yannis Varouhakis for your next trip. We will definitely be coming back!

We feel very fortunate to experience this Monday morning tour by George, an experienced chef. Five interesting and delicious hours visiting carefully selected shops, restaurants and the main market. It unfolded like a good book, with surprises and interesting turns. George was careful about determining any allergies or dislikes, but coached us well to try some new things that turned out to be very good. What a great day. Thank you George for being a pleasure for us to enjoy time with and for sharing your knowledge and passion for good food.

We had a wonderful day touring the food market with George and learning about the selection process for meats and fishes. We followed the tour with a hands on cooking experience in a private home. George is an expert chef and instructor and with his able assistant, Maria, worked with us to create a delicious meal of roasted eggplant based dip, spring salad, ‘meatballs’ in fresh tomato sauce with basmati rice and ‘fritters’ with honey and walnuts for dessert. All of these dishes have Greek names that I can’t recall, but the flavors and fun will be remembered for a long time.

Today we had the most amazing food tour I have yet to experience. Iaonnis Ninos was professional, engaging guide we could have asked for. He took us to his local favorite shops, markets, restaurants that we would never had discovered without his knowledge. Everything that he chose was spot on for all of us. We ended up with another bag of delicacies to go home with in addition to probably gaining 3 pounds!!

Loved this tour! Fabulous guide and wonderful food. If you take this tour (and you should) be sure to go hungry! The guide was wonderful and will take you to the best places for the best Greek food - places you wouldn’t find unless you were a native.

Our family (my wife and I and our two nineteen year old daughters) had a great walk with George (he knows a lot of history as well as an expert in street art) and then he helped us make a fantastic meal in a very nice space. Highly recommended

Throughly impressed with Athens Insiders in preparing a private transfer and tour of the Acropolis during a long layover in the city. Natalie responded promptly to my inquiry and took care of all the logistics and details in advance so me and my family didn't have to worry about anything. Traveling with a large amount of luggage after a week in the Greek island, we wanted to make sure we had a private transfer to keep our luggage safe while we explored the Acropolis with an expert. We were in great hands with Jessica, our very informative tour guide, who led us up to the top of the Acropolis...stopping along the way to make sure we had important information and could catch our breaths. Vasilios was our driver and he was engaging, funny, and easy to talk with (same with Jessica!). We were so happy with our decision to use Athens Insiders and will definitely look to work with them in the future for other Athens tours (e.g. the Acropolis Museum)
