Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Penny was helpful, friendly and very informative
We booked a small group tour and was very happy that we were the only couple booked. We had Penny all to ourselves. The route was interesting and informative. Penny was like an encyclopaedia. The bar we went to for wine was lovely, nice small plate of food and all the wine Penny chose was delicious. I highly recommend this tour. We did the trip on our first night in Athens which proved helpful as we came across places we’d like to return to for a longer look around.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We hope to see you soon back!

Excellent tour, full of history and wine with a knowledgeable, friendly guide
We were the only couple booked on the tour so we had a private tour with Penny. The tour, the locations, the wine and the food were all fantastic but what made it truly an amazing first night in Athens for us was Penny. She showed so much knowledge and enthusiasm about Athens, the history and the wine. Thank you Highly recommend

Terrific, personable guide shows sites and educates on wines of Greece
Penny was very knowledgeable about Athens and Greece. From archeology, anthropology and architecture to wine! Add all of that to her charming personality and you have a wonderful tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Penny.

A Must-Do Experience in Athens.
If you visit Athens, don’t miss this wine tasting experience. It was beautifully organized and very informative. The guide introduced us to unique Greek wines and their origins. The setting was intimate and relaxing. Vassilis was friendly and made the session enjoyable with his humor. We left with a deeper appreciation of Greek wine. Truly worth it.

A Romantic and Educational Escape.
Perfect for couples! The private setting and elegant atmosphere made this wine tasting very romantic. The guide was excellent and shared detailed knowledge about each wine. We enjoyed every sip while learning something new. Vassilis was engaging, funny, and very professional. It was both relaxing and educational. Definitely one of the best experiences we had in Athens.

Athens Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience cost?
+
Prices start at €61 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 Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience 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 Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience?
+
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 Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience 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 Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience?
+
Around 5 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 Nights Uncorked: Walking Tour & Wine Experience 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.
