First, as Athenians do, we will meet in Monastiraki Square in the city center. We'll grab a coffee and do a "volta" -- a leisurely walk through the city to give you a taste of what it's like to be a local! The walk will take about 1,5 hours. During it, I'll share with you my love for Athens -- the hidden paths, beautiful backstreets and hills, its living history, and some personal stories as well. I'll give you a glimpse of the modern Athenian lifestyle, where we hang out, where we eat, and most importantly where we cut loose. We'll end the "volta" at one of the best taprooms in Athens. There, we'll spend 1,5 hours more, and during that time we will do a brief introduction to Greek beer culture, as well as a short master class about beer tasting and food pairing. We'll taste four different types of beer combined with an assortment of Greek cheeses, olives, nuts, fruits and chocolate, and in this way, I will introduce you to the art and science of tasting beer.

I was disappointed in the...
I was disappointed in the walking tour part of this experience. I was hoping to learn more about the area, but we wound up in areas with no people and it felt weird. The beer tasting part was better. We learned about the beers and had some interesting pairings. The guide was very nice, but overall it wasn’t what we were expecting after seeing such great reviews.

A lot of walking and very...
A lot of walking and very little ‘tour’. Knowledge of beers and tastings good but too long of explanations.

Cancelled Tour 😒
To say we are disappointed is an understatement. We booked this tour a month in advance only to have it cancelled the day before. Then I looked up that the brewery the tour ends at isn’t even open the day the tour was supposed to occur. I had high hopes, and been left disappointed.
Response from the operator: Dear Stephanie; I’m so very sorry as I wrote you for that cancellation. It wasn’t professional from my side, and I should have informed you in advance. You are right to be disappointed, and once again I deeply apologise. Just to notice that we were not planned to visit their brewery, but their taproom which is in the city centre, and it’s open 7/7 from 18:00-1:00 and weekends 14:00-1:00.

Learning beer history was fun!
Beer selection was great. Learning the ancient beer culture. Suggestion- Carry a drink during the walking tour.

Well worth the money!
Spyros was a great guide (you wish you had his energy lol). We walked some amazing backstreets and at the end, the greek beers were the cherry on the top! Highly recommended!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athens Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing cost?
+
Prices start at €20 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 Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing 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 Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 11 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 Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing?
+
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 Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing 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 Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing?
+
Around 4 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 Local Beer Tasting & Food Pairing 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.
