Summary: Culinary Secrets of Downtown Athens was a highlight tour for us during our month of travel and filled us with fascinating food facts and tastings, Greek cultural history related to food traditions, and social joy shared between our passionate guide, Carolina, and our small group of participants. The tour was deliberately designed to be both an informational as well as a very friendly experience. SO GREEK! In the large city of Athens, we wove our way through top quality shops and markets that our expert selected for us to enjoy a wide variety of Greek food and drinks. The experience was soulful, unique, and satisfying. We learned so much! The tour felt very personal as though we were someone's guests. We googled Carolina Doriti our expert guide and found our suspicions to be spot on. Her knowledge is exceptional for a reason. Turns out she is a cook book author from a multi-generational family of chefs and food authors. She is the culinary producer of a show broadcast by PBS television in USA and Canada! And modest! Her vast knowledge and expertise delivered with friendly and approachable confidence is her advertisement. Our adult children are all hobby cooks who enjoy the experience of cooking fresh and delicious daily meals for their families. We bought Greek cookbooks we found were authored by Carolina which we ordered online to send home to our kids and ourselves. We travel with carry-on luggage and collect very few souvenirs. Our kids are thrilled about our gift selection for them. The cookbooks are as informational, practical, and artful as was the tour. A wonderful and useful momento of a wonderful travel experience and a helpful publication that connects Greek History to food.

Summary: Amazing experience! My husband and I love food tours and decided to do one in Athens and wanted a smaller experience. This one fit the bill and a wonderful mix of history and food. My only advice is to pace yourself with food as it's 5 hrs and by hour ~3 I was already full!
