We had such a great experience with Marina during our cooking class in Athens! It ended up being just my husband and me, which made it feel really personal and relaxed. We were welcomed with wine and made a traditional Greek pasta, a goat dish (something totally new to me and surprisingly better than I expected!), and a delicious dessert. Marina was warm, patient, and fun to cook with. Highly recommend this class if you want an authentic and hands-on taste of Greek cuisine!

The food tour is the best I have done in Europe. It was so good that I had to come back and do it a second time. The tour guides are amazing and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of Athens.

This was amazing! Our guide was fantastic, taking us to great places for delicious bites, all paired with interesting history and information on Greece and Greek food. Highly recommend for an afternoon well spent.

Rob

Our tour guide Yota was outstanding, much informative about Greek food, but so much more than a food tour. If youâ€™re interested in learning more about the history of Athens you will not be disappointed

Absolutely enjoyed the experience. My husband and I are vegetarian and Marina was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and actually helped us make gyros with celery root! The cooking tips were great as was the quality of ingredients and the end result. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy Greece beyond the sights.

Karla

I attended Food Tour - Greek Street Food Icons - host Fotis is a FANTASTIC guide! He is genuinely friendly, kind, accommodating and has a great sense of humor. The foods we ate were delicious! I returned to several of the places on my own for lunches and dinners. A truly FANTASTIC experience!

My daughter and I love cooking and eating greek food. To improve our knowledge we took the cooking class from Marina. It appeared to be much more than a cooking class. Marina gave us plenty of tips and tricks and showed an amazing hospitality. Marina, thank you very much and for your fiancÃ© and you a very happy wedding coming Sunday.
