123 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  ·  from $69

Athens eats late, cheap and extremely well, and the good walks know which grill in Psyrri to stop at and which stall in the Varvakios meat hall is worth the smell. These 15 are compared on how many tastings you actually get, whether wine is included, and how hungry to arrive.

She was knowledgeable in not just the Greek cuisines but in the culture behind it. I loved listening to her talk about food with such passion. It made me care about it that much more.

“We loved how this class catered to a few different levels of comfort in the kitchen. The chef/teacher was so charming, knowledgeable, and very welcoming. At a few points he was literally pointing to a big map on the wall to show us where certain ingredients come from, and he even showed us a photo of his sweet grandmother holding her stick for rolling out phyllo dough. Just so much pride in the culture and food. I usually don't like my cooking. But, I was impressed to be eating something that I made that was delicious. My favorite part was meeting people from all over the world, getting their point…”

6.Athens Authentic Greek Food Walking Tour (Small Group)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 809 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $83.44

Small-group walking food tour in Athens with 15 tastings, market stops, and menu tips, ending in Monastiraki. English, 3.5 hours.

“We would highly recommend this tour. What we thought was to be a tour only about food was actually a Greek history/food tour. Andreas did a great job of providing samples of local foods. He also provided the background of each food and where the influence came from for the particular dishes we ate. Prepare to come hungry, we had far more food than we could possibly eat. Despite a torrential downpour, Andreas still made the best of the tour. Andreas kept it interesting throughout the tour. He is full of knowledge. It was a wonderful experience.”

Athens evening food tour with Monastiraki, Psirri and Aiolou stops, wine and tsipouro, plus a seated meze dinner in 3 hours.

“Our guide Zefi was cute, helpful, and supportive in taking us through this tour. She was counting us off constantly like ducks to make sure we didn’t lose anyone, and entrances to restaurants were smooth with wait times for food also being minimal. We got to sample a variety of wine, souvlaki, charcuterie, a piece of dessert, and other dishes with the 5 stops this tour offered. Though we booked the big group 20 max tour, we only had 11 still with people from 3 different continents. It was good conversation and a relaxed group with everyone appreciating the food. For a walking food tour, not a huge amount of…”
