Amazing Athens Food Walking Tour
What an incredible walking food tour. Our guide was funny, knowledge, and has great connections with the local restaurant owners around/near the Acropolis area. The authentic food was amazing and our guide explained history and culture as we dined at eight different places.

Experience was fun, Maria was a very good tour guide. Food was delicious and the length of the visit was good too. Good time of day to do the tour, evening. Good size tour group.
Response from the operator: Food brings a different kind of energy to a day of sightseeing. We loved having you on Secret Food Tours and sharing a more relaxed way to experience the area. We hope the meals were as memorable as the company!

Good guide
Ilias was a wealth of information, and even had recommendations for our next stop in Greece. The food was very good. If you're looking for souvlaki get it another time It's not on the tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks for spending part of your trip with us! We hope Secret Food Tours introduced you to a few local favorites that stood out from the usual sightseeing. Come hungry if you visit again.

Athens Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes cost?
+
Prices start at $98 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 Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 740 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes?
+
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 Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes?
+
Around 259 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Traditional Dishes 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.
