Athens Gourmet Food Small Group Walking Tour

Must do tour, even if you don’t consider yourself a “foodie”. It is the best way to understand the culture and the influences behind the flavorful dishes, while experiencing some of the cool venues in the historic part of town. Plus, our tour guide was very knowledgeable (and patient) and fun!

Very informative and definitely an experience filled with a cross section of Greek culinary delights.

Great food tour with many stops, Antonia was a wonderful, kind, and interactive guide. Got to experience so much we would’ve missed otherwise. Would recommend for anyone visiting Athens.

So much delicious food! Kathryn (not sure that’s how she spells it) was an amazing guide. We tasted all the Greek specialties, learned to drink Ouzo properly, watched coffee being brewed on a sand table, and actually had to take away the gyro from the last stop because we couldn’t eat another bite! There’s a lot of walking, it’s mostly flat but somewhat uneven in places. We walked through the meat, fish, and vegetable markets, which are worth a look unless you’re vegan or afraid of huge cleavers. K gave us a good bit of Athens history and interesting local insights as we were walking, and of course it’s great to meet other travelers in a small group setting. Definitely take the tour group’s advice and don’t eat any breakfast - just a really delicious experience all around.

Amazing tour. Our guide Anna was fantastic. Highly recommended and came with loads of advice about Athens and surrounding area.

Alexandra did a very good job on this tour! We walked through a couple of neighborhoods, saw a local meat market and stopped at many places to taste Greek food. One of the best stops was a restaurant where we tried several dishes served family style. After that (starting to feel full), we then each had a delicious gyro at Hoocut and finished off with some delicious donut desserts. This was a great sampling of Greek food and locations in Athens. More food than a typical food tour, so very good value. When they say don’t eat breakfast, it is true.

A fabulous tour that you should not miss! The tour covers little samples of a range of Greek yummy food from traditional breakfast food to a full luncheon. Tonyia, our guide was the cherry on top, bringing to life Greek hospitality and charm.

If you only have one day, add this tour to your list. Highly recommend.

Katarina was absolutely fantastic! Not only does she have an amazing and kind personality, but her English was exceptional as well was her knowledge of Athens. We visited parts of the city we otherwise would not have seen if we didn’t do the tour. I wish she could be our personal guide for the rest of our trip.

This is a wonderful food tour providing a wide variety of food and a good history of the culinary history. Our guide was Adele who was upbeat, friendly and knowledgeable. We tried cheese, olives, coffee, wine, greek pies, donuts, calamari, etc. Highly recommend.

Our Gourmet Food Tour was amazing! We tried all local favorites from appetizers, salads, main course, and dessert. Our tour guide was great….very knowledgeable and fun too! She made sure we tried all the local favs and immersed us in the food culture of Athens. She also took us through the fish, meat, and vegetable market to give us an idea of where many people get their local foods. This was an excellent way to experience Athens local food scene!
