      A wonderful evening in Athens
      Our private food tour with Eugenia was amazing. She was a lovely guide and was very thorough with everything during the tour. The selection of restaurants and shops were excellent! There was so much delicious food and drink to be had! I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a fabulous evening exploring the food and wines of Athens!

      A perfect introduction to Greek food and wine.
      Eugenia was the perfect guide. A passion for both Greek history and culinary delights. The meal was incredible. The olive oil tasting was a unique experience as was the wine tasting. All hosts were very hospitable and engaging. I thoroughly recommend this tour as a perfect introduction to Greece.

      Excellent tour!
      Greeking.me was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was excellent and everything was well organized. Our tour guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and he interacted well with the children in our group. Both the children and adults in our large group loved the tour. We highly recommend it!

      Great Experience
      The team at greeking.me helped to customize a shore excursion for our group of 11 family members ranging from 24 to 82. We were picked up at the port and taken to the Acropolis. My parents did not feel comfortable with the terrain, so the helpful staff at greeking.me had already suggested that they go to the Acropolis Museum. The rest of us had a wonderful Acropolis tour with Anna, who was excellent. We then had an hour to stroll along the city streets and shop before meeting Eugenia for our food tour. She did a terrific job teaching us about Greek food and culture. We enjoyed the tastings and the lunch. We definitely did not leave hungry. At the end of the tour, we were driven back to the cruise port. It was so nice we having to worry about transportation.

      Our guide sorely lacking
      We love food tours in new cities to learn from a local about the history of the area and to learn where to go and where not to go for meals, shopping, sightseeing, etc. We like them because it marries food with history and we find that is a great way to get to know a city. This tour was worthy of the 3 stars only because our guide was probably one of the worst we have had- and we have done food/wine tours in London, Rome, Amsterdam, Paris, New York, Florence, Venice, Avignon, and Barcelona. She was very cordial and kind. However when it came to sharing history about various sights that we passed, she was sorely lacking. For instance, we passed by one small church that a modern building had incorporated into itself and we were all wondering what it was- she kept on walking. Or she would tell about something to the folks that were near her at the front of the pack but if you were in the back, you missed out. Good tour; good food; we went back to HoeCut for lunch one day; we bought some wonderful olive oil at one of the stops. The meal at the end was good as well, although we had to choose from a scaled down menu. Guide- not so good; therefore, we missed out on a large part of the tour.

      Our tour was fantastic! Maria was extraordinary guide. She shared stories and history of Greek food and traditions. Took us to spectacular wine bar, olive oil store, restaurants and had us taste some of the best food, I am not a very fast walker and I was able to keep up with the tour. Highly recommend any tour with Greek me.

      Private Acropolis Tour for Families by Greeking.me
      We had a truly memorable tour of the Acropolis with our two girls, age 5 & 12, the older of whom is a mythology aficionado. Jason is a fabulous guide with a wealth of knowledge of the history, mythology and archaeology of the Acropolis and the ability to share it with visitors of any age. His passion for his subject, depth of knowledge and willingness to tell the girls stories or enter into geopolitical discussion with the adults made this a unique and unforgettable experience. We will never forget seeing the Parthenon and looking out over the birthplace of democracy. Extremely highly recommended.

      Great Introduction to Athens (city center)
      Penelope was a wonderful guide taking us to four locations to sample Greek wine, spirits, and food. We had fun sampling the appetizers while learning a bit about each wine, then a hearty main course, followed by more small plates of local flavors. Our tour ended with gelato and/or baklava. All of the restaurants were very good; we found ourselves returning to one of them a second time during our stay in Athens. Penelope was very accommodating throughout the tour and very helpful in securing transportation back to our hotel.

      Fabulous Food Tour
      Our guide, Ismene, was fabulous. We had a 4 hour Athens foodie tour which took us to 7 different stops around Athens. We learned much about the food, culture, as well as important sights/landmarks along the route. Definitely recommend this company and experience.

      Niki was our guide and she was fantastic. She knew everything about the food and answered all of our questions. The tasting were numerous and plentiful. We learned so much about Greek food that we didn’t know and will change the way we cook at home.

      Perfect evening
      Our guide, Rita, led us on a fun and educational tour of Greek food and drink that was an absolutely perfect way to spend an evening in Athens. The pacing of the tour was perfect, our guide provided personal attention and made each participant feel comfortable, and there was more than enough to eat and drink. The flavors were amazing! I’m glad we booked this tour and highly recommend it.

    Our guide, Demetrius, packed a mass of facts into a fascinating and entertaining few hours at the Acropolis and museum. We had the sense that there wasn't a question we could ask that he couldn't answer, with easy-to-absorb and surprising details. He's an archaeologist who actually worked on the site, and his dedication to its preservation was impressive. The experience couldn't have been as memorable and meaningful as it was for us without him.
    And you don't have to take selfies -- Demetrius is a great photographer.

    This was a difficult tour for our older participant, but our guide took her time and we stopped and she taught us things while we were catching our breath. A private tour with Greeking.me is the best way to see and learn things. They were wonderful and met our needs on every front!

    From the first moment, I had a meeting with GREEKING.ME team, I felt that I'm in good hands! I have planed a 7 hours tour for our company - around 70 participants and it was beyond expectations! Everybody enjoyed the tour, the restaurant and we really impressed by the knowledge of the guides.

    Thank you for everything! I enjoyed working with you 3 months before the event and enjoyed the event!

    Had this tour organized after arriving in Athens from a cruise. They picked us up at the cruise terminal, helped us store our luggage and we spent the day hitting the highlights of Athens. Xenia was the best, so very knowledgeable and fun to be with. I would often catch others around us listening to her descriptions because she is such a good storyteller. We learned so much and just enjoyed our time in Athens. At the end of the day, they made arrangements to take us to our hotel for our last night prior to leaving. It was so nice to have everything taken care of and to be able to just relax and enjoy the sites!

    We had the very best tour today with Vera and Xenia. It was really excellent, my girls were interested and excited (for my 11 year old that’s really something)! The guides seemed to tailor the tour to their audience, just what we needed! Xenia helped me work out where to take my girls tomorrow. Can’t get any better than that.

    My husband and I went on the Best of Athens tour and it was great! We got to see all of the best that Athens has to offer with a very knowledgeable guide. She even took us to a great local spot for lunch. It was just the 2 of us so we got to ask as many questions as we wanted and able to customize it to what we wanted to see/highlight. Highly recommend if you only have 1-2 days in Athens!

    Our guide Anthi did a wonderful job during the tour. We had two in our group who have knee or hip issues and Anthi was very attuned to that and chose routes and provided pacing that allowed them to enjoy the tour. Her knowledge of classical architecture and ancient history was very impressive, and she made it very relatable. Anthi also gave excellent commentary during our tour of the city. We appreciated that she joined us for a brief coffee break and for lunch, as it allowed us to continue learning more about Athens.

    We had an excellent tour with Xenia that literally ended 5 minutes ago. It was wonderful!! I heartily recommend both Xenia and Greeking.me for booking your tour. It was just my wife and me and we had a great time. We described what we were looking to do and Xenia and Greeking.me customized the tour for us and made it happen. I couldn’t recommend them more.
