A great evening
Ilias was a fabulous tour guide. He a provided a wealth of information about the origins of the food we had. We discovered small family restaurants that we would not have found on our own. We had the opportunity to meet many other fabulous people making the event of breaking bread even better. Once again thank you Ilias for a great evening.

Amazing
Absolutely loved going on this food tour and a great way to start our trip to Greece! Illias was an amazing guide and treated everyone in his group like family. I even had a food allergy and he made sure to have a separate dish prepared for me at each place. You need to book your tour with this guys if you want to have an unforgettable night!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! It’s amazing to hear that you enjoyed the local flavors and felt the city’s character through the experience. Secret Food Tours would be thrilled to have you again soon.

Athens Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Dishes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Dishes cost?
+
Prices start at $213 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 Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek 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 Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Dishes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Dishes?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Athens Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek 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 Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Dishes?
+
Around 9 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 Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek 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.
What is included in Athens Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Dishes?

Not included: Transportation; and Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Athens Private Food Tour with 10+ Tastings of Greek Dishes?
