Eat Like An Athenian Food Tour Of Athens

Sometimes a food tour leaves you a little hungry…..NOT THIS ONE!!! Wow, my wife and I were stuffed. Agathi took us on a tour of all the local hot spots in Athens and this did not disappoint! For the value, you can’t beat this tour. Agathi was so knowledgeable of the culture of the surrounding area. The length of the tour was perfect and covered so many traditional food types. Gyros, dolmas, Loukoumades, koulouri. All of it was fantastic. We lucked out and our tour was just my wife and I so, that was obviously perfect!!! If you are looking for a great food tour, great value, and a great tour guide, choose this one. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Agathi!

So much food but sooo delicious. Our guide Agatha was fabulous. She displayed her appreciation for Greek food and culture. Would do this again!

We were lucky to get this tour to ourselves on our honeymoon trip. Our guide Agatha was lovely. She made the experience something special. We stopped at 6 places and ultimately took some of our gyros home because there was so much food! We had a very nice walk around parts of the city we hadn't seen yet and learned a lot along the way.

Authentic Taste of Athens! This 3.5‑hour food tour was a highlight of my time in Athens. We explored the real neighborhoods and markets where locals shop, and the variety of tastings was fantastic — from sweets and savory bites to cheeses, cured meats, olive oil, and even a little wine and beer. It all wrapped up perfectly with a traditional gyros. Our guide, Agatha, was excellent. She was knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and made the entire experience easy, engaging, and fun. If you’re looking for something that feels genuinely local and authentic rather than touristy, this tour is a great choice.

Agatha was a wonderful guide and the food was amazing. Having a bit of a stroll between the 5 courses was perfect.

Agatha was our guide for the day. We were fortunate because due to the transportation strike the next day, all the other people had canceled and we had Agatha to ourselves. We stopped at about 7 places for food or tastings, so plenty to eat and a good variety. Of all the food tours we have been on, Agatha was the first person who, if the type of food allowed for it, asked if we wanted to wrap up and take what we weren’t able to eat. So by the end of the day we had a small bag of about 3 or 4 leftovers. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Agatha, who was a delight to be with. Between the variety of food and our wonderful guide, I would definitely recommend this food tour.

Agatha was a fantastic guide of local Athenian cuisine. We started with local Greek coffee & pastries, and ended with gyros & local beer. Very enjoyable chatting with her about how the city has changed around food!

Guide was friendly and inclusive. She showed us all around the different parts of the city and gave us insight to the different foods we were eating. Easy pace and wide variety of foods for different occasions. And there was alcohol to try! Best experience for adventurous eaters!

Agathi was delightful - the food and the small group atmosphere made this trip special. Her personal stories were so much fun and she was so nice to make sure a perticular food allergy was covered. Definitely take this trip !!

We had a lovely (and delicious) time walking around and tasting the delights of Athens with Agatha, our tour guide. She was so kind and a pleasure to chat with. She was extremely knowledgeable not only about cuisine, but also about the area and its history. She even gave us some great recommendations for our travel to Crete! This tour is a great way to ensure you get a taste of Athens local favorites. I had my favorite meal of our whole trip on the tour, Gemista, and will be spending the next few weeks trying my best to recreate it a home. Thanks so much, Eureka Athens and especially Agatha!

The tour exceeded our expectations. Agatha gave us a personalized experience. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions concerning Greece, Athens and the other cities we planned to visit during our travels in Greece. Her choice of foods, shops and venues was representative of the local culture and cuisine. Being a native of Greece she also shared numerous stories and personal experiences of her life in the country from childhood to adulthood, which helped us to relate to the culture.

We had an great time on our food tour. Agatha was a wonderful and friendly guide, giving us lots of information not just on the food we were eating but on other aspects of the Greek culture. We took the tour at the start of our trip and it's a great way to get introduced to Athens. We definitely recommend not eating anything beforehand, as you will be eating a lot on this tour! Overall we particularly enjoyed the variety of food, the fact that there was a mix of both quick bites and chances to sit down and chatting with our guide Agatha.

We had an amazing time during this food tour. Plenty of food, great tastes and friendly guide! Thank you!

This was a fantastic value for money Tour with loads of food to try and Agatha our Tour Guide was a exceptional, so very friendly and full of super helpful tips about the City and local areas and really went above and beyond her duties for the tour. We’d totally recommend this Tour for those who want to taste authentic Greek food.

Great conversation about Athens and tried some local family owned food. Walked around city neighborhoods with ease.

What a great way to spend an evening as a solo traveler. Eleni was very nice and brought us to some amazing places. It was fun to experience a lot of areas, food and atmosphere. It was good food. The kebab at the end was so good. The spinach pie was delicious. I liked the small group and it was fun to learn about Greek cuisine. I would have never found these places. Thank you!

Besides trying different wines and foods, the honey and olive oil tasting was an added bonus. Agatha was informative, knowledgeable and made our experience very enjoyable.

Amazing small group tour with Eleni. She gave us options for food tastings. She gave us a glimpse of life in Athens while patiently answering all of our Questions. This was by far the most personal of all 13 of our tours this trip. I would highly recommend this tour especially with Eleni as your guide.

Our guide was awesome and enjoyable to be around for the four hours we were together. Go on an empty stomach because you’ll be eating and drinking for hours! Food and beverages were delicious. We sure appreciated our local guide to learn about Greek food! We highly recommend this tour!

Very kind and understanding. Tried to accommodate us as uch possible, would recommend taking tour, true gem of a person.

Agatha was an absolute pleasure of a tour guide! Very personable and knowledgeable, not only about the food but the history and the current "flow" of the city of Athens. The food was great and plentiful as well as many options to purchase additional items (both food and nonfood). 100% Reccomend!

Agatha was amazing! Our group ranged in age from 8 years old to 85 years old and she accommodated everyone's needs. We all really enjoyed her expertise and her recommendations! Great way to end our visit to Athens.

Agatha was personable and detailed. She provided context to our food tasting experience. We were introduced to the traditional pastries, cheeses, honey, and gyros from local establishments.

The tour was amazing! Our guide brought us to several awesome spots to sample delicious Greek cuisine. She was super friendly and told us all about the city. We tried traditional Greek meat and cheeses, Greek donuts, sesame bread, pastries, and gyros. We also got to sample Greek olive oils and honey. We had such a great time, definitely worth it!

Our guide Agatha was amazing. We walked throughout different neighbourhoods tasting different foods. We started with a cheese, salami and wine tasting, then on to famous Greek doughnuts, a honey and olive tasting finishing with a delicious Gyros. My favourite was the tapas style tasting with stuffed vine leaves, fava dip & marinated eggplant dips which was delicious and one of my favourites.

This was an amazing start to getting to know Athens. It was our first time in Greece we didn't know much about the traditional food when we got here so it was a great overview. Plus we got to see different parts of Athens we normally wouldn't have seen on our own. Would definitely recommend this tour!

This tour was absolutely amazing! We received this as a gift and it was the perfect addition to our trip. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to all the best places for authentic Greek cuisine.

My teenager daughter and I had a wonderful time on the Eat Like an Athenian Food Tour! We sampled several dishes and drinks with wonderful explanations by Agathi. I would recommend doing this trip early in your stay so you can get wonderful recommendations to try during your trip. We did the evening tour and it was great to see the cafe culture up close with a local guide.

Agatha was an excellent guide who matched our needs for a tour perfectly. Every place she guided us to was delicious and she was very informative about the areas we walked through, sharing history and modern insights. We very much enjoyed our tour and would recommend to anyone travelling to Athens to start their trip with this, as it gives a great understanding of the key areas you want to visit in Athens city centre.

Our tour guide Agathi brought us to lovely family-run establishments, which were frequented by locals. We got an appreciation for the typical Athenian breakfast, tried Greek coffee made the traditional way in a bed of hot sand. Despite not having any breakfast before the tour, we could barely finish all the food samples. Seeing the variety of fresh fish in the food market worked up our appetite for seafood and Agathi gave us the perfect recommendation for a seafood dinner near our hotel. We also checked out a wine bar that she recommended where we continued our exploration of Greek wines.

My wife and I booked this tour and we were at the meeting location at the time specified. Unfortunately, there was another tour that was meeting at the same time and location as ours. In short, we went with the wrong tour guide, ugh, how could we have done that??? Well, the guide showed up and asked if we were all here for the tour. Of course we said yes. He never said which tour and we didn't ask (I know, our bad). By the time we figured out that we were on the wrong tour, it was too late to catch up with the food tour. We learned from another participant that another tour guide (presumably the food tour guide) asked the other tour guide if there was anyone in his group that was there for the food tour and, apparently, he said no. We did not see or hear that discussion. The food tour guide did not address the group asking if anyone was there for the food tour nor did the food tour guide call out our names. The food tour guide did send us a text and called us but we did not have service at the time as we were from out of the country. Well this is partially my fault as we should have been more proactive making sure that we were on the right tour but who would have guessed there were 2 tours at the same time from the same location. However, I believe the guide bears some responsibility for not calling out our names or not asking the group directly if anyone was there for the food tour. I explained this to viator and asked for a refund but they put the responsibility back on me. Disappointed we paid for a tour that we did not get to experience and I feel we should have been at least partially refunded.

Our tour guide was amazing! We started off with local cheese and wine which was amazing! We went on to try lots of other foods, both savory and sweet. The olive oil shop was our favorite and we were able to purchase some bottles to take home.

Agatha was a fantastic guide! We sampled a variety of food, and Agatha was full of knowledge about Athens. She was very personable and made our food tour a fun and memorable experience.

We enjoyed the tour, our guide Agatha was excellent with follow-up text messages prior to our tour. We went through neighborhoods that we would have missed had we not taken the tour, so it was a good way of getting the lay of the land. The tasting started with desserts (loukoumades) and ended with street food (gyros, souvlakis), which i would've preferred the reverse order. All in all it was a good way to sample foods and see Athens in one tour!

Agatha guided us on a wonderful tour around Athens where we enjoyed savoury and sweet delights. Her knowledge of both food and the areas visited was vast and interesting . She made us feel very relaxed and we really enjoyed the fun experience.

Our guide was so sweet and took us to a nice variety of places. The food was delicious. This was our first food tour and we will definitely do again.

The food and conversation were wonderful! We were stuffed!! Agatha was amazing and fun! With lots of suggestions!! Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved it!! Agatha was an absolute delight, she knew all the best places to try out local food. You would never find these places as tourist. We had so much food we had to pack some takeaway.

I cannot recommend Agatha highly enough! My grandson and I had such a wonderful, informative food tour with her. We went to the markets, tasted olives and olive oils, honeys, and local Greek meats and cheeses, Greek donuts and souvlaki too! Agatha was so knowledgeable and so nice. Do yourself a favor and take this tour.

My wife and I started our first full day in Athens with Agatha. It was an incredible way to start our trip. We ended up being the only people on the tour. Agatha was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and personable. We learned so much from Agatha about the history of Greek food and culture. It was truly an unforgettable experience and an amazing way to learn about Athens. She took us to many different parts of Athen so you get a comprehensive look at the city! You stop for the most amazing breakfast pastries, a tour through the meat and vegetable markets of Athens, with a charcuterie board served after and you finish the tour near the Acropolis with a delicious gyro! I would recommend anyone join this tour with Agatha.

We enjoyed this tour on our first day in Athens. Our guide, Agathi, was fun, knowledgeable, and introduced us to some excellent local food. She took us to some beautiful little spots in the city and shared their history with us as she did. Spending time with Agathi was like spending time with a friend, given how easy she is to talk to. I highly recommend this tour if you like sampling a culture's culinary traditions. Just be prepared to eat.

We had a fantastic experience with Agatha. She was extremely personable and knowledgeable about all things Athens. We laughed all night while getting a great education and eating some amazing food.

You have to do this tour if you come and visit Athens! The tour guide is amazing and the food is delicious. You will go to so many places and neighborhoods you wouldn’t normally visit. I recommend this for everyone who comes to Athens!

We did an evening tour with Agatha on our first full day in Athens and it was amazing. Agatha was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome in Athens. She really took the time to get to know us and tailor the tour to what we liked/interested in. She gave us a lot of information on Athens and the sights while we were walking and provided a lot of recommendations on places to visit from tourist sites to bars/restaurants. Thank you Agatha for an exceptional experience.

Agatha was a great guide and full of information and knowledge. Menu selections were very good and gave us a great feel for authentic Greek food. Agatha is very knowledgeable about the “local street art” and by the time we were done, we had a little better understanding of some of the “artists” and could actually see the art versus just graffiti. So the tour ended up being a nice cultural experience as well as a culinary experience.

This tour “Eat like an Athenian“ truly met our expectations! This was a great introduction to Athens and its food delicacies. Agatha, while taking us to different eateries, introduced us to Athens’s various neighbourhoods. We were subsequently able to orient ourselves on our own walking adventures. We would for sure recommended Agatha as a guide!

Agatha was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She made the experience of eating like an Athenian memorable. We’ve taken over a dozen food tours through Europe and this was one of the best.

Wow! What an amazing experience! Our tour guide Agatha communicated well before the tour so we knew where to meet her. Once on the tour, there were so many tastings. We also learned a lot about Athens and it’s culture. This tour is an incredible value with all the food. We couldn’t eat it all! Go on this tour. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Agatha for making our day very special!

This was easily the best part of our whole trip to Greece. Agathi was absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and personable. We went to restaurants and places we never would have went to if we were on our own. We tried such a variety of different local Greek foods, from coffee to breakfast to meat and cheese to gyros. We had such a blast with her and I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience real Greek cuisine!
