Best Food Tasting Tour Of Athens, Taste 18+ Iconic Greek Foods!

Maria was an amazing guide who made the Best Food Tasting Tour of Athens memorable from beginning to end. Her explanations were excellent, and she connected Greek history with modern life in a way that made each stop more meaningful. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed it so much that we returned to some of the restaurants in the following days. This tour offered a wonderful taste of Athens, both on the plate and through Maria’s stories.

This was a great tour!! We got to experience so many different authentic foods and Penny took us to parts of Athens we hadn’t seen. She is fun, personable, and informative. The quality of the food was top-notch! We weren’t rushed and enjoyed visiting with Penny and the other 2 clients. This one was definitely worth the money!!!

Penny was awesome and tried to accommodate our needs. The food was a little heavy on sweets, but I’m sure they are crowd favorites. All-in-all, great experience.

Fun way to get to know a neighbourhood in Athens with a knowledgeable guide while sampling delicious food! The tour was well curated with a good variety of foods and drink. Thanks for a fantastic time Lef!

Oh wow! What an incredible afternoon we spent with Penny, our amazing tour guide. This trip is a must if you want to experience the true flavours of Athens. We tasted everything from a typical Greek breakfast, to a range of cheese, finishing with a gorgeous mezze, incorporating many of the foods we’d tried earlier. Wear comfy shoes and come feeling hungry. Highly recommend. Xxx

Great food experience. We tried so many different styles of food, from daily meals to street food and typical family sharing meals. The spanakopita was my favourite and the best I have eaten, but there was so much more.

Penny was an amazing guide. I had an awesome time and tried lots of authentic Greek food.

Penny was an absolute delight. We were given great insights about the various Greek landmarks as well as amazing food to sample. Places you would never find on your own. We all fell in love with Penny’s amazing charm and humour and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this everyone I know. Thank you Penny :)

Penny was an excellent guide. The places she took us too were off the beaten path and we would never have found them on our own.

Really wonderful food tour with Penny. Both the narrative and pacing was excellent. Very glad we only grabbed coffee at breakfast as there was plenty of food during the tour.

I highly recommend this tour for foodies. Our guide was fantastic and we tried so many different foods throughout Athens. Everything was a close walk and we got to see a lots of interesting areas by foot. The restaurant and food shop partners were great as well and there was plenty to eat and drink. When you get to Athens take the time for this tour. You'll love it.

Filippos was the best guide! We had a great experience on this food walking tour in Athens. Got to taste a little bit of everything - spinach pie, sweet cheese pie, olives, different dips, cheese tasting from the cheese shop, the best souvlaki from the meat market and walked through the fish market! Tasted authentic Greek coffee and had a delicious mezze platters at the end with wine! Come hungry and learn a long the way. Filippos was engaging and also had tips for us when we’re in Crete! Highly recommend!

Elias, our guide was great. We met at the appointed time and place. We walked, ate and enjoyed Elias' informative tour. He explained the Greek food history, took us to establishments to enjoy many delicious bites and gave all a sense of what to enjoy!! Great job to Elias and this tour. 5 stars.

Maria took us to all these wonderful food stops and at the end, the sit down meal was amazing. I wanted to eat more, but I was completely full. Don’t miss out. Book this tour and try to get Maria!!

We really enjoyed the tour. Penny was a great guide.

One of the best food tours we’ve been on! The meeting point was easy to find, and Anna was friendly, approachable and full of local knowledge. Being a local herself, she shared fascinating stories about the history and background of the different foods we tried, making the experience even more enjoyable. The portions were generous, so definitely come with an empty stomach! We also had the pleasure of meeting an amazing couple on the tour. We sat together for lunch (which is included) and even continued on for drinks afterwards. It was a fantastic day of great food, wonderful company and new friendships. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience local food and culture!

We had a great time! It was perfect pace, perfect food and we also had a perfect guide. Lef was full of information and had great sense of humour. Don’t miss out!

Phillip, our guide, was great! Provided lots of culinary, cultural and historical insights. Food was great.

Great tour for our group of 7. Had a fun, informative time with our guide Maria. A great time and value!

Great experience. Would have enjoyed more history of the types of food we tried. Everything was great and my food preferences were excellently accommodated. A group of 6 that was scheduled for the next day got added to our tour and it negatively impacted our experience. I wish they had not gotten added but understand the reason for letting them be included.

Our guide Lef gave us such a good feel for Athens and its food. We tasted everything from savory pies, to cheeses to ouzo - just to name a few. I highly recommend this tour! You get a taste of the city, the culture, history and food all in one tour. I loved it.

Maria was amazing! So fun and knowledgeable. We all loved everything we ate on this tour. I would definitely do it again!

We would highly recommend this tour when visiting Athens, our guide Filipos was very knowledgeable, informative and entertaining, we thoroughly enjoyed his company during the tour. There was a wide range of traditional Greek tasting experiences in places that we would have struggled to find ourselves. Treat yourself when in Athens and book this tour, you won't be disappointed.

Lefteris was a wonderful tour guide, friendly and involved everyone in conversation. It was a nice small group which my husband and I greatly appreciated. We were able to try several different kinds of food , cheeses and had some greek coffee. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a sampling of greek food and great company!

Maria was absolutely wonderful. She made the experience a highlight of my trip to Athens. I truly appreciated her knowledge and honesty. She gave us lessons on the food, culture and everything Athens. The food was plentiful and was top notch. Would highly recommend and would even consider doing it again!

What an incredible tour. We loved every minute of seeing Athens on foot and having the chance to see and hear the city in action, all while tasting the wonderful Greek foods, and not forgetting the incredible Greek coffee. Lef was a superb guide, not only imparting his incredible food knowledge but also describing the the wonderful city and its heritage as we walked through it. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable tour. Thank you Athens food on foot. Until next time.

Best tour we took in Athens! We loved Elias our guide, he was so fun, informative, and had lots of great tips for food, and travel in Greece. The value was great, we tried many foods. The Greek coffee tasting was my favorite! Do this tour, you won’t regret it.

Seriously, this tour is better than any of Athens' other experiences. Lef was great, knew what he was talking about and where he was taking us. I liked that we went to places that specialised in their craft, that the walking distance wasn't huge, food tolerances/preferences were accommodated, and the group was small. Greek food is amazing. So is The Ultimate Food crowd. Thank you for this introduction to Athens.

Such a fun and unique tour! All the food was delicious and Penny the host was great. The group was small and everyone was really lovely. It was nice to be able to slowly walk through Athens eating and chatting. Penny also organised a traditional Greek cake for my partner for her birthday at the end of the dinner! Even though it was a very hot day it was great!

Lefteris was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough! He took us to spots with delicious food, and his explanations were very detailed. I learned so much about Greek food and culture during this tour and I was grateful for his guidance. It was also a great opportunity to see more of Athens and check out some cool neighborhoods. The amount of food was definitely worth the money, I left feeling full. I highly recommend!

Ilias was absolutely amazing. Super personable very knowledgeable. We learned about your company from watching him take addy and terry on the same tour and we had to have this experience with him. I am so glad we had him as our guide. We were supposed to have more people and they didn’t show up I was nervous that it would be awkward because it was only 3 of us but he made us feel like family that he was showing around. I would recommend him and this company a million times over. Give this guy a raise !!! I almost gave up on Greek food but he showed us the right places to eat!

We had a group of 15 extended family members, and we were fortunate to have Lefteris (Lef) as our guide for the tour! He was very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable and took us to several places to try different Greek dishes. We all really enjoyed our afternoon together!

Penny was a great tour guide and shared her passions of Greek foods with us with an amazing day! She took us to great spots and we had a variety of different types of foods. She was extremely personable and we enjoyed our day with her!

Maria was incredible. As much as a food tour as it was a historical walking experience. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you, Maria!

We loved this bc we love Greek food but wanted a more intimate experience with an expert - that person was Lef! He was WONDERFUL with my kids and was really funny, I mean he kept everything fun, interesting and captivating. Lef coached us through the amazing culinary delights that Athens has to offer. He took us to the original places that perfected Greek favorites - spanakopita, koulouri, souvlaki…this was a great way to see and taste Athens. If you have any interest in Greek food you won’t be disappointed!

We had a brilliant time on the food tour. Penny was a great guide, very friendly and informative. We learned a lot about Athens and Greek food culture. All the food stops were great and we had lots of variety. Would recommend this for anyone as part of a trip to Athens.

Excellent tour with Filipos. Lots of walking but amazing food! Lots of tips and restaurant recommendations and general information about greece and Athens! Would go again!

This was a really fun thing to do in Athens, full of wonderful Greek food. Lef was our guide and did a great job of showing us around. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Athens.

Lef was an incredible guide. We had amazing food and were stuffed. He even helped us add another stop for sweets at the end. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful food tour of Athens with Maria on July 8. Maria was fun and friendly. She is knowledgeable about the local foods gave us lots of recommendations and a great Greek history lesson along the way. We had lots of variety of food and coffee plus a beautiful lunch. Highly recommend doing the ultimate food tour with Maria.

Our tour with Food on Foot was one of the highlights of our Athen's experience. Penny was an excellent guide - fun and well-versed on all the culinary highlights the city has to offer. We got to sample so many wonderful delicacies - and we especially loved sitting down to a family style lunch with Penny and another family on our tour. It felt warm and friendly and very authentic.

What a fun way to spend a few hours! We got to try some delicious food and drinks, walk around the beautiful and lively city, and learn about some traditional preparation methods. Our tour guide, Lef, was fantastic! Absolutely a great value!

We had a fantastic time on this Athens food tour! Right from the start, the meetup was incredibly easy and our host was super easy to find. The walking pace throughout the tour was very manageable, making for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Our host was also extremely knowledgeable and friendly, guiding us through an excellent selection of local food choices. We honestly can't speak highly enough of our experience, highly recommended!

“We did a morning walking food tour in Athens with Maria and it was absolutely fantastic. We tried what felt like 18 different kinds of food – from classic dishes to things we’d never have known to order on our own – and every stop was genuinely good, not just ‘tour food.’ Maria’s energy made the whole experience: she was fun, enthusiastic, and totally dialed in to our group in a way I haven’t seen from a guide in probably a decade. She mixed history, culture, and local tips with this easy, friendly vibe that made us feel like we were out with a local friend instead of on a tour. By the end of the night we were full, happy, and had a much better feel for Athens, and I’d recommend this tour (and especially Maria) to anyone coming to the city.”

Fillip was amazing at sharing this history behind the areas we visited and the history behind the food. The walk through the street market for meat added a nice touch to the tour.

We had a great tour with Phillipos. He was very friendly and informative. We had some general information about Athens and Greek history and also, of course the food part of the tour! We stopped for Athenian bagel (can’t remember the name!), sweet (bougatsa) and savory (spanakopita) pastries, we stopped for traditional Greek coffee, wandered through the fish and meat market, stopped for tasting and learning about traditional Grecian cheese and yogurt, had fresh loukamades with honey syrup (so delicious!!) and ended with a mezze “lunch” (plenty of food!) with some wine for the end. He brought us back to Monastiraki square to help orient us. He made the tour informative, delicious and enjoyable, would recommend!

Phillip was a superb guide. The tour was a highlight of our time in Athens!

Maria..... the best guide ever. She showed us local cuisines, explored the local history on the way and made us experience the delicacies of Athens. Such an amazing tour. p.s. don't bother with a private tour of the Acropolis when these food guides know more whilst showing you such local culinary marvels.
