    Terrific Birthday Party Adventure!

    I arranged this tour as a 21st birthday present for my son and two of his friends who are studying in Athens this semester! They said it was a “10/10” night and a great way to experience the city. They went to great spots they would not have known about and the food was excellent. The guides were friendly and awesome. Huge hit!

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Jennifer! What a fantastic way to celebrate a 21st birthday! We’re so happy the boys had a “10/10” night and discovered spots they wouldn’t have found on their own. A huge compliment to our guides!

    Fun way to explore the...

    Fun way to explore the city with someone who lives there. The wines and food were presented by knowledgeable people providing insights that won't come out of a guidebook.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Timothy! That’s exactly what we aim for: local insights, great wine, and stories you won’t find in a guidebook. So glad you enjoyed exploring Athens with us.

    Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties cost?

    +

    Prices start at $275 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 Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 94 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 Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties?

    +

    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 Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties?

    +

    Around 33 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties 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 Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties?

    +

    Included: All taxes and VAT; We CAN provide food substitutions for vegetarians; Wine tasting of Greek varieties; All Greek specialties and tastings - more than enough for dinner; and Services of an excellent foodie guide. Not included: Private Transportation; and Any additional orders or purchases. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Private Athens By Night Food Tour & Wine Tasting of 5 Varieties wheelchair or stroller accessible?
