“Elizabeth was more than a tour guide. She was a wonderful representative of her Greek culture. There were four of us on her walking tour. We made seven stops and sampled delicious food at each one. One of my favorite stops was a small store that sells olive oil and other Greek specialty products. We got to taste three different types of olive oil, found out how they were processed, and also the health benefits of olive oil and how to store it. Most of the small places we visited were family owned businesses and took great pride in the food and products they served. I highly recommend this experience.”

“The start of the starts at the bottom of escalator of the Metra station. If you use Google maps it takes you above the station. Once I figured that out and stopped being frustrated it was very pleasant. Lol! We were in a group of about 12 people and they issued us ear pieces to hear the guide as she talked and explained everything.

But what truly set the experience apart was where she took us to eat. Zefi introduced us to exceptional local restaurants that were anything but touristy. Each spot was farm-to-table, fresh, and absolutely delicious. You could tell she had a deep knowledge of and connection to the local food scene.

It was my first time in the city so the first part of the tour was useful to get a feel for some different parts of the city - but the Acropolis was obviously the highlight.
