Our tour was really great! We had plenty of time at the Acropolis and then went through the whole Plaka for our food tour. The tour was a small group - 6 people total so we were able to ask questions and get to know the tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and even gave us recommendations for things to do and see on the islands we were going to next. The food was great and a good way to learn about the local cuisine.
We had three days in Athens for our family vacation five of us. This half day tour was our first adventure. Rosa our tour guide was fabulous. We explored the Acropolis in depth while Rosa pleasently explanined the history. She answered all of our questions and was very personable. The second half of the tour included food tastings at four separate locations. Each stop included traditional Greek tastings including authentic Greek coffee and Gyros!. The food was more than enough to satisfy our appedite. We recommend!!!
