I very seldom write reviews, but the Athens for Foodies tour was a fantastic experience and something I would recommend to anyone hoping to learn more about the food/culture in Athens. Our guide, Mini, was great, and clearly had a good relationship with the folks who worked at the 8 stops we made as a part of the tour. Was a really good way to start our time in Athens to help get the lay of the land and sample a wide variety of foods. Can't recommend enough!
