Jenny collected us at our hotel and off we went on our food tasting tour. By the time we were finished we were absolutely stuffed with delectable local items. One of the places we went to made these donut holes with caramel and chocolate sauces on top. Terrific! We tried all sorts of other things as well. We were visiting the day before Orthodox Easter and Jenny did a masterful job of finding great places that were open when many were closed. We all want to go back and try to eat ourselves into oblivion. It was scrumptious. Jenny is extremely personable and we all got along so well. She knows the city really well and took us to great places. We got to walk through some of the local markets for meat, fish and vegetables (and a really cool spice store). If you like walking food and wine tours, Jenny is your guide. Sooooo good. We give her our highest recommendation. Book her tours - you will have a fabulous time with her!
Jenny was a wonderful tour guide, one of the very best of the many guides we have enjoyed over decades of travel. She has a delightful personality, is an enthusiastic guide, and was fun to be with as we sampled various aspects of Greek cuisine, walking around Plaka. She was very flexible in responding to our tastes in food and also to our interests in exploring some of the historical and cultural sites that abound in the area near the Acropolis. We could not recommend her more highly!
Jenny was an amazing guide! We really loved the Food Tour and visiting Agora. We had her for a total of two days and Jenny is very responsive, timely, educated, & super friendly. I highly recommend using Jenny for any of her tours.
