It was brilliant and Mike was very nice. I'm just a person that likes to spend the time on the market to pick something. I was rushed pick what I wanted to buy.

I have done lots of food tours with Viator all over the world, this without doubt was the best one ever. Fantastic value for money and Mike was just the most charming and engaging guide, born in Athens and obviously knows it like the back of his hand. We loved it, all the places he introduced us to were great and so many tastes! On our tour we had a family from Australia and a charming couple from the USA. When I return to Athens with my partner I will do it all again! Thanks so much - Georgina and Luca
