Wonderful experience and tastings! And wear good walking shoes:)
Anastasia was a fantastic tour guide and hostess! She is knowledgeable about the foods and culture and very pleasant company. The oil tastings were tasty, informative and fun. The locations visited had nice offerings for purchasing some oils and honey home. Learning about the various olive oils with very different origins was interesting. Our hostess at the wine tasting (Aphrodite) was especially warm and welcoming, and generously shared some mastiki at the end of our tour! We would recommend to friends and family. Note that there is a good bit of walking. We were glad we wore good shoes! :-)

Athens Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $126 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 Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting 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 Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting?
+
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 Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting 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 Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting?
+
Around 0 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 Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting 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 Athens Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting?
+
Included: Tomato Chutney; Cheese varieties and savory sticks; 2 different Greek wine varieties; Gruyere with thyme honey; and 5 varieties olive oil. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Athens Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting?
+
Participants will meet the tour leader at Tziraion 12, at the Active Athens Holidays office. The tour leader will be waiting outside the office at the scheduled start time to welcome guests and begin the experience. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Athens Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Athens Olive Oil, Raki and Wine Tasting wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
