Athens not so good Autumn Food Tour
Limited historical knowledge. Tour guide was poorly prepared and brought along his boss/fiancé who constantly corrected him and tested his knowledge. Food choices were just okay, with one main food stop being closed by the time we got there. None of the restaurants were aware that they were food tour guides.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We were genuinely surprised to read this, particularly as this guide consistently receives very positive reviews from our guests. We’re sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we will of course review the comments regarding the historical information and preparation with the guide. That said, we would like to clarify a couple of points. Restaurants and food vendors are independent businesses and are not required to know or formally recognize our guides in advance. Our tours are designed to visit authentic local establishments rather than staged or pre-arranged tasting venues. Occasionally, a stop may also close unexpectedly or change its operating hours without notice. When this happens, our guides are expected to adapt the route and find an appropriate alternative, as this can unfortunately happen on any walking food tour. We do take genuine concerns seriously and will review the parts of your feedback that relate directly to the guide’s performance.

Incredible flavors, relaxing afternoon
What an amazing food tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the food, the history and the culture. We tried a lot in a compact area so we were able to go at a relaxed pace and just enjoy the food, the surroundings and the people we met. There was a mix of the things you expected as well as surprises and food we wouldn’t have even known to try.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed the mix of classic dishes and local surprises. Our guides love sharing the rich history and culture behind the food, and it’s wonderful to hear that the compact, relaxed pace made for such an enjoyable experience. We'd love to welcome you back for another Foodprint Tours adventure!

Our best vacation tour ever!
Our guide, Zeshan, provided a wonderful, tasty and educational tour of local Greek food and drink. Clearly, Zeshan is a worldly person, who is not so old in years, but very much so in experience and understanding of people and cultures. Our time together was worth far more than the cost of the tour. We have experienced many tours while in Rome, Sicily, Crete, etc., but this one was by far the very best. It was so helpful that our guide spoke perfect English. Thank you for a beautiful experience!
Response from the operator: What an incredible message—thank you so much! We’re thrilled you had such a memorable experience with Zeshan; he truly has a special way of connecting people, food, and culture. It means a lot to hear this stood out among your travels, and we’re so glad the tour exceeded expectations. If your journey continues, we’d love to have you join a **Foodprint Tours** experience in another city—Paris, Lisbon, or Istanbul are all waiting for you!

Enjoying authentic Greek tastes
Rebeca was a true joy to be with and her excitement about the various foods made the trip very enjoyable.
Response from the operator: So glad you had such a great time! Rebeca’s passion and energy truly make the experience special. If you’re traveling to another city next, we’d love to host you again — join us for a food tour in places like Paris, Barcelona, or Istanbul and keep the experience going!

Enjoyed the best pita… ever!
Had a lovely time walking close to our hotel in city center and sampling food from our tour guides recommendations. Beautiful area to walk through
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed walking through the city center and trying our guide’s food recommendations. Hope to see you again on another Foodprint tour soon!

Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $102 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 Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 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 Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings?
+
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 Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings?
+
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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens Autumn Food & Walking Tour with Tastings 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.
