“Small group greek cooking lesson was fun and delicious. We were in an upstairs restaurant at the foot of the Parthenon had some wine and made a meal. Our instructor was great and had stories to tell. She spoke English so that was great too.”
Dine 40 meters above Athens at a rotating table at Technopolis, with a 6-course Greek meal, unlimited drinks, and Acropolis night views.
“Very nice!! Good variety of food. You get a lot of food. Different wines come with the meal white rosé or red. Service is great! Servers are nice and friendly! You are VERY HIGH up in the air but it’s so smooth you don’t even realize you’re moving. There was a nice breeze while we ate which added to the experience. My husband and I had a great time!”

Plaka Greek folk dance dinner in Athens: hotel pickup, panoramic Acropolis views, 3-course taverna meal, live music, 3 hours.
“Walked to venue easy enough, near a shopping area to peruse while waiting. Entertainments fine, classic show, yet would echo previous dining reviews as leaving one wanting something a tad better. Meal could use an uptick in status/quality…. Gyro would be nice…”
Night sights of Athens, illuminated Acropolis views, and small-group history plus an authentic Greek tavern dinner, about 4.5 hours.
“Debbie was an awesome guide. She shared personal stories along with a vast amount of knowledge of the island. She was engaging and welcomed questions. Be sure to ask about her mother's opinion of the various islands. Involves a good bit of walking, so wear comfy shoes. We saw and heard about interesting Greek history. Viewing the changing of the guards was amazing. It's a must see. Come hungry - you get A LOT of food at the tavern.”
Private Delphi and Meteora day trip from Athens with hotel pickup and an included Greek feast dinner, plus iconic UNESCO sights.
“Marselo was very attentive to our needs took his time making sure my disabled husband was well taken care of. The tour was exactly what we were hoping for. Delphi meteora and thermopylae we did not feel rushed we saw everything we wanted to see. Highly recommend”
A small-group Athens food tour through Syntagma, markets, and Monastiraki, with enough tastings for lunch and local tips.
“We had the most amazing day in Athens with Valentini. Not only did we eat great food, but we also saw great places throughout the city that we would have missed if we had not done the tour. It was the perfect end to the perfect vacation. Pace yourself because there is a LOT of food. LOL”
Private Athens Acropolis, Parthenon and New Acropolis Museum tour with an archaeologist guide, plus optional dinner and wine.
“Wow what a great experience with our guide Edie! She knows so much about everything we saw. We could have done it by ourselves and missed so much of the story. She also engaged our 15 year old son which is not easy. Evening tour is the best time the marble of the acropolis was glowing.”
Hard Rock Cafe Athens set-menu lunch or dinner in Monastiraki, with Acropolis views, classic burgers, and a Rock Shop for souvenirs.
“When we arrived we were seated with our menu straight away, no waiting around and the staff were friendly too. Food came out in good time and was delicious!”
Every kind of day out from the city, and the best of each.
