Fun & Interesting Tour
Very interesting tour and the food was delicious and plentiful! Loved the wine tasting too. We were the only 2 people on the tour so had a very personal service from our lovely guide Talos. Was a great opportunity to see the capital Argistoli too!
via Viator
An expensive underwhelming tour
Although Tasos was a very pleasant friendly guide, this evening tour did not live up to our expectations. We expected to be taken to establishments where the local produce/ recipes would be described and explained. We did not expect to be given food boxes to be eaten on benches around the town and one course served at a squashed pavement table. We did learn quite a bit about Argostoli, less so about the food. Overall it was such bad value - we estimated that this one evening cost us the equivalent of 3 evening restaurant meals with wine.

Cancelled food tour.
It was a little disappointing to have this experience cancelled the day before it was due, without explanation. I contacted them through Tripadvisor to confirm it was cancelled. I received quite an abrupt explanation that it had been cancelled due to lack of numbers, I’m not sure that’s the way forward. No apology just an offer to rearrange 5 days after we had returned home.

Food and History
We decided to do this tour on our last night in Kefalonia in June. Booked through AirBnB. After conquering the maze of streets of Argostoli, we met with our tour guides Anastasios and his wife Tina for the Argostoli City Food & History Tour. We started out visiting a supermarket where we tried cheeses on a charcuterie board. We learned that you will enjoy soft cheeses even more if you drizzle honey on it! We cruised on foot through the city and tried meat pies, wine, nuts, cod pie, gelato, and confections. We learned all about historic city buildings and the stories behind them. Anastasios and Tina were energetic about their city and for the opportunity for us to try a variety of Greek (and other nationality’s) specialty food. The tour was paced just right, no one was rushed, and our group was a lot of fun. I especially liked chilling on the waterfront with my dinner. We recommend this tour for anyone ready to get to know the background and options in the area. Bring an empty belly!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Food Tour Kefalonia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cephalonia.
How much does Food Tour Kefalonia cost?
+
Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cephalonia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Food Tour Kefalonia take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Cephalonia is not rushed.
Is Food Tour Kefalonia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cephalonia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Food Tour Kefalonia?
+
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 Food Tour Kefalonia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Food Tour Kefalonia?
+
Around 6 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 Cephalonia 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 Cephalonia and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Food Tour Kefalonia 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 Cephalonia 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 Cephalonia?
+
On Outty we rank every Cephalonia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include "Dreamy cruise"Daily Cruise from Argostoli harbour with a traditional Greek boat, "QueenBee" Full-Day Boat Trip with Lunch, Kefalonia Wine Tour. 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 Cephalonia?
+
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 Cephalonia?
+
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 Food Tour Kefalonia?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; and Dinner. Not included: Bottled water; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Food Tour Kefalonia?
+
The meeting point for the tour is the small square on Kosmas Etolos street, situated across from the municipal market. 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 Food Tour Kefalonia?
+
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.
What happens to Food Tour Kefalonia if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
