There, you'll also have the opportunity to try some of the most traditional and authentically Greek dishes you could possibly find. The menu varies, but some of the most popular choices are 'gemista' -the famous oven-baked stuffed vegetables-, slow-cooked meat with a side of mashed potatoes or pasta, 'fava' -a split pea dip- and okra casserole, among others.

Acropolis tour and Day sail on Naxos
Katerina Both tours were fantastic. Marielena is a very special guide and knew everything about the Acropolis.. The Lady K was fantastic as well. The captain was a good host and we had a great day. Thank you for your help.
Response from the operator: Hello Bradley, Thank you for the positive feedback regarding our Acropolis tour and Naxos sailing tour. We take pride in having the best team and we couldn’t be happier that you enjoyed the services of your guides on both occasions. Hopefully, you’ll be back in our country soon enough to join us in more of our tours and trips around Greece!

Wonderful experience, highly recommend
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Maria-Elena - she is an archeologist by training, spoke fluent English and was a fun to spend time with and learn from. As an added plus, she was very comfortable and enjoyable for our teenage daughters too. Perfect experience for our family of 4 to learn about the Acropolis and see the museum. Thank you Maria-Elena and GreekingMe Tours!!!
Response from the operator: Dear Michelle, Thank you so much for your feedback and your polite words! We couldn't be happier that you enjoyed yourselves at the tour with Maria-Elena. She is an excellent guide, great with both adults and children and always does her best to engage and involve everyone, by sharing her expertise! She will be grateful to hear your kind words! We are definitely looking forward to meeting you again in the future! Best :)

Multiple Tours in Both Athens & Crete....All First Rate!
We used greekingme to book many transfers and tours for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens). We had a truly outstanding experience with every one of them. Our tours included: Private Acropolis Delights Tour (Acropolis & Food), Private Evening Tour with Meze Dinner, and Private Knossos & Food Tour. We also booked our transfers to/from the airport with greekingme as well as some more challenging logistics in Crete where we requested they hold our luggage while taking tours then transfer us to Elounda. Every single driver and guide that we had was outstanding. They were all passionate about sharing their country. They were all also very well educated and spoken outstanding English. The guides were highlights of our trip. I really can't say enough positive things about them. We also felt the vehicles were very nice and the drivers were always where they were supposed to be and on time. Each of our tours involved a food component and all of them were outstanding. I will give special note to our Heraklion food tour. I thought this one might be a bit questionable as Heraklion seemed to be more of an airport/port town. This food tour ended up being one of our teens' favorite activities (they rated it equal to the day we chartered a sailboat in Santorini!). We really enjoyed meeting the various merchants. And, the food was outstanding. It was my daughter's favorite meal of the trip! Really, truly an outstanding experience booking with greekingme!
Response from the operator: Hi there! It is now our turn to say a big thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail with other travelers that may wish to join the same tours as you! Hearing that our tours were a success, not just with you but also with our little guests, is of particular importance to us because we value the opinion of all our guests and love to see them leave with a big smile on their face! We honestly hope to see you back in the near future !

Response from the operator: Hello and thank so much for your review about our Acropolis Delights tour! I am very pleased to hear that you had a good time with us in May and we sincerely hope to see you again in the future !!

Best Way to Do Athens in One Day with Family
Our guide, Eva, was the perfect person to show my family around Athens. She was smart, kind, and extremely knowledgable about the history and mythology. Combining the acropolis and a small food tour is a great way to squeeze in what Athens is really known for in one day. Thanks for giving my family a great day they will never forget!
Response from the operator: Dear Emilie, Thank you so much for your amazing review! I am absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing time with Eva, she will be delighted to hear that she made it such a memorable experience for you and your family. We would love to hear from you again next time you are in Greece - please do reach out! Kindest regards,

Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $327 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour?

Where is the meeting point for Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour?
+

What languages is Acropolis Delights: Private Acropolis & Food Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
