On the 5:30 PM tour, the experience begins with delicious dolmades—tender vine leaves filled with fragrant rice and herbs—served at one of the city’s best hidden gems and paired with wine or beer. On the 12:00 PM tour, the experience begins at the Central Market, where guests enjoy a delicious traditional Greek tapa—seafood, meat, or vegetarian—paired with a classic Greek drink such as ouzo or beer. This first tasting sets the tone for the experience, introducing travelers to authentic local flavors and culinary traditions.
At the second stop, guests will enjoy a traditional Greek souvlaki, choosing between chicken or pork, freshly prepared and served in a local-style eatery. The tasting is paired with a Greek beer, offering a true taste of everyday Athenian food.

We loved this tour so much! We tried so many different authentic Greek foods and we were so full, so come hungry!! Vasco our guide was so informative and passionate about Greek foods and its culture. Highly recommend!
It was wonderful to eat around Athens but tour did not have alcohol but on the first stop. Loves tasting the Greek olive oil and honey. The breakfast food we tasted truly was a staple and saw the next day at the airport.

Vasco was a very informative and great tour guide. He explained the food and some of the history of Athens! I would definitely hire him as your tour guide.
Fantastic tour with an amazing guide! We explored beautiful parts of Greece while learning so much about Greek history, culture, and everyday life. The food was incredible, authentic Greek dishes, local specialties, and great traditional flavors throughout the tour. The guide shared fascinating historical stories and made everything fun, engaging, and easy to follow. A perfect mix of history, culture, and amazing food , truly an unforgettable experience!
Best experience in a food tour! Great knock guide, 6 amazing hidden gems in beautiful Athens , the food was very tasty! Awesome tour!!
Food tour guide was nice enough but not from Greece. We were expecting someone from Greece with knowledge on the food and food history who could provide fun facts about each thing we tried. Sadly we didn’t get any context of anything that we ate, which was disappointing. The guide just shepherded us from place to place. Could have done that on our own. The highlight was the honey tasting. The lady in that shop did give us some education along with her samples.
An incredible experience in Athens! The food was absolutely delicious, and every stop felt authentic and full of flavor. Our guide was spectacular, knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole tour fun from start to finish. Honestly, we wouldn’t have discovered so many amazing places on our own if we hadn’t joined this tour. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Athens!
