Athens private food tour
This was the second food tour that I did in Athens. We enjoyed the variety of food and in fact returned to one of the restaurants to have the best souvlaki we have ever eaten the very next day. If we had more time we would have gone for a third . It was a lot of food to eat during the tour. By the end we were just nibbling because we were so full. The guide however was a bit unkept and vaped continuously . Not what I would expect from a professional guide.
Response from the operator: Dear Julie, What a wonderful endorsement, going back the very next day for the best souvlaki you have ever had is exactly the kind of moment we hope our tours create, and it made us smile to read that. We are genuinely glad the food and the variety hit the mark. That said, your feedback about the guide's appearance and vaping during the tour is something we take seriously. It is not the professional standard we expect from our hosts, and we will be addressing it with them directly. Thank you for taking the time to share both the highs and the lows — it all helps us improve. We hope Athens left you with plenty of great memories and that we get to welcome you back one day. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team

Great Tour
It is a great way to experience a number of different types of Greek food and hear some Greek history. Our guide, Manos, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. No need to have dinner plans. Our entire group of 8 was plenty full after the tour.

Great experience with Voula
Voula was very friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable, and a great tour guide. We had a variety of different foods and she explained why and when the Greek people enjoy each meal. I highly, highly recommend Voula. Such a wonderful person and host.

We had a fantastic...
We had a fantastic experience with Yanni! He was a great tour guide and customized the tour based on our interests. Since we mentioned we wanted to see a beautiful Greek Orthodox church, he even took us to the oldest Greek Orthodox church in Athens, which was a highlight. We enjoyed six delicious tastings and stopped at several local shops along the way, making the experience feel authentic and personal. Highly recommend this tour!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Private Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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 Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings 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 Private Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 536 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 Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings?
+
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 Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings 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 Private Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings?
+
Around 188 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 Private Food Tour of Athens: 6 or 10 Tastings 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 Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. 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.
