    Amazing Greek food with amazing Penny

    Penny was an absolute delight. We were given great insights about the various Greek landmarks as well as amazing food to sample. Places you would never find on your own. We all fell in love with Penny’s amazing charm and humour and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this everyone I know. Thank you Penny :)

    A gem of a tour.

    Penny was an excellent guide. The places she took us too were off the beaten path and we would never have found them on our own.

    Excellent Guide and Excellent Food

    Really wonderful food tour with Penny. Both the narrative and pacing was excellent. Very glad we only grabbed coffee at breakfast as there was plenty of food during the tour.

    A great foodie tour for Athens eats!

    I highly recommend this tour for foodies. Our guide was fantastic and we tried so many different foods throughout Athens. Everything was a close walk and we got to see a lots of interesting areas by foot. The restaurant and food shop partners were great as well and there was plenty to eat and drink. When you get to Athens take the time for this tour. You'll love it.

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Best Food Tasting Tour of Athens, taste 18+ iconic Greek foods! take?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 532 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Best Food Tasting Tour of Athens, taste 18+ iconic Greek foods!?

    +

    How far in advance should I book Best Food Tasting Tour of Athens, taste 18+ iconic Greek foods!?

    +

    Around 186 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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?

    +
