Fantastic Food Tour
Easy paced food tour….. plenty of food as a meal itself!! We learned about about the culture as it relates to their customary food!
via Viator
Helpful even with my food allergies!
María was awesome! She was knowledgeable and friendly and made everyone feel at ease! I have food allergies and I booked the tour for me and my friends assuming that I wouldn’t be able to sample much, but was willing to listen and learn. Maria was so helpful and careful. I truly appreciate her effort to include me at each stop. Book this tour and be especially grateful if you get Maria!

Walking food tour of Athens
We absolutely loved this your. My husband and I have done a similar tour in other cities and this one did not disappoint. Katerina was full of information but did not overwhelm. Her tour was perfectly planned and executed with little nuggets of info along the way. You could tell she loves her job and talking about her country and culture.

Really wonderful!
Constantina was so lovely! She was very friendly,knowledgeable and kept our group together. The stops were all amazing! Loved all of the food and wine. Alittle more expensive but worth it! Great way to explore a part of the city

Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour 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 Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 690 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 Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour?
+
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 Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour 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 Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour?
+
Around 241 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 Get a Taste of Athens Food Tour 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.
