Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour In Athens 26+ Tastings

This food tour was absolutely amazing! Every single stop felt genuine and authentic, giving us a real taste of local culture far away from the usual tourist traps. Our guide was wonderfully nice, warm, and engaging, taking the time to share great stories and details about every bite we tried along the way. By the time the tour wrapped up around 5:00 PM, everyone in our group was thoroughly happy and completely stuffed. I honestly don't even need dinner tonight! I couldn't recommend this tour more if you want great food and wonderful host energy.

We just finished this amazing food tour. Centrally located it made it very easy for us to take the metro from the cruise port to downtown Athens. It showed us how the local Greeks shop for their food on a regular basis. The restaurants were quite small and quite busy Greeks. No tourist traps here. The fresh markets were absolutely amazing beef, poultry, lamb, and pork. Would not recommend for a vegan. The fish market showed how the restaurants shop for their fresh fish. Our guide, Michele. (Mike), was extremely knowledgeable. It was obvious he was a local as almost every shop knew him and said something as we went by. The shops we visited were all family stores for more than four generations. I really feel Mike showed us the non-tourist side of Athens. Highly recommend recommended. Maximum five stars for the tour and a bonus six stars for Mike.

This was the BEST part of our trip. Mike did an amazing job. We even went back to the spots on the tour after to get more food.

We had the best time tasting and exploring with our guide, Ava. She was warm, playful, engaging and made us feel right at home as we walked through shops, markets, and family run restaurants. If you're looking for a food tour in Athens? This is the one to book.

This was an awesome tour! Aurelia made such an impression with her knowledge and love of the city. Come ready to eat! Although the plates are small, there are many and every bite is wonderful! Thank you Aurelia for sharing your love of Athens cuisine with us. Definitely a tour to remember!

This was an awesome experience! Make sure you come hungry because there is a lot of food. The portions may not be large, but there’s a lot to eat. Aurelia was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour and it was an absolute pleasure to spend time with her. Thank you for such a great experience Aurelia.

I have been to a few food tours in Europe and Australia. This is by far the best that I have been to. We have tasted many varieties of food, drinks and desserts and two sit-down meals! Every meal was freshly made. What I like the most is to follow our guide Michalis visiting local meat, fish and fruit markets. You can tell that he is eager to showcase Greek foods to visitors. It is amazing to be able to see how local people live and eat but also taste their delicious foods. Definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting Athens!

Our food tour and tour guide was awesome! She took us to local, not touristy spots which we really enjoyed! We also went to the fresh meat/fish/olive/spice market which was really neat to see

Great value for the money. You will not be hungry. Lots of little tastes and a group meal. Good variety of food. They accommodated allergy issues. Guide, Alisa, was very knowledgeable and fun. Easy walking around the areas. Did not feel rushed. Group was about 12 people.

What a great experience, the history, the food, the location, just a really great time. The food was amazing, walking through the market and seeing where the locals shop and eat, it was very memorable. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, very friendly, and loves being able to share her love of food with us as well.

Very good sampling of Greek cuisine. Mike was a great guide, good pace and very informative. This was a good value tour.

A wide variety of foods to try and plenty for a meal or two. Our guide was very knowledgeable and nice. The small group experience was even better because of the personal interactions.

Ava was an amazing guide. She took us through a tour of Greek cuisine. Each of the tastings were delicious.

Mike was a great guide. We sampled so much wonderful local food and were able to eat at places you otherwise would never find as a tourist. If you go to Athens and love food this is the tour for you.

Amazing food and a lot of it Tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about Greek cuisine Go on an empty stomach

The tour was at a very relaxing pace and the weather was perfect. We started with Greek coffee and pies. Visited traditional family owned businesses and tasted and tried local produced. The highlight was a meal at a backyard restaurant to finish the tour.

Wonderful! Ava was a great guide! Hearing about food and culture from a local makes for a great experience. It’s great to see areas you might miss otherwise.

Excellent food tour. Tried a lot of different items. Our guide, Mike, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very considerate. Would definitely recommend. Favorite stops were the olive/olive oil store and spice shop

Fun, entertaining, and interesting tour. Fotis was an energetic and informative guide. We learned all about traditional Greek food and went to some interesting and delicious venues we otherwise would never have found. More than enough great food and drink. Fotis kept us moving so we could experience as much as possible. He’s was personable and fun to be around. We loved the good tour.

Excellent food tour. We went in the side alleys of Athens where the real authentic flavors of Athens reside. Good selection foods, olive oil sources, spice shop, honey shop, the open air markets, great ending large lunch. Our guide, Fotis, was amazing Great background stories and historical info. He was great

Lots of new and different things to try Mikael was very knowledgeable and took time to answer questions and tell stories. Recommend for all ages.

Mick is knowledgeable and informative. Took us to areas I would never have found. Food choices were outstanding and I would highly recommend his food tour.

Thanks to Mike who was warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about this Greek market area where the locals shop! Loved the pace that allowed us to socialize with new friends while tasting everything Athens has to offer. Delicious and very pleased with the wide variety of foods and beverages. Yamas and thank you for our perfect last day in Greece!

I do food tours in every new city to which I travel. This is one of my favorite ones! Every bite of food was delicious. There were plenty of stops a big variety of both food and different types of traditional drink. There were opportunities to purchase, honey, olives and olive oil, nuts, spices, but at no time did I ever feel pressured to do so. Mike (I can’t remember his Greek name.) was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful time Eva made the experience so much fun, the food was delicious and a great way to see some of the city

Great tour that took us to unexplored places such as speciality shops, producers, and little restaurants off the tourist track. Arela is a wonderful host.

Arella our tour guide introduced us to an excellent array of delicious Greek food. It was a very fun way to spend a few hours.

This was a great food tour. I’ve taken tours in Milan, Seville, Paris and I think this was the best of all. Mike took us to small neighborhood places - both restaurants & shops that were off the beaten path & we would have never found on our own. The food was amazing. The background & historical info was fascinating.

Katerina was very knowledgeable about the area and the food, and did a great job making the event a lot of fun for the whole group. All of the food was delicious!!

My guide was very informative and knowledgeable. She was personable. I would recommend this tour for friends.

What a great experience the guide was phenomenal of the place that she took to us were amazing and excellent. We got everything out of it that we expected great food great knowledge and a great time. I highly recommend this one.

A fun experience where we met up with some very interesting Canadians, and a few fellow Americans. The address meeting point was tricky to find! We really enjoyed visiting the market place with the fish vendors, outside vegetable and fruit displays. Our guide was very professional, and friendly.

So fun and great guide. Food was excellent

Rachel was incredible!! I can’t tell you enough how amazing this tour is. You get a local tour guide, culture, food and drinks. The food is the best I’ve ever eaten!!! Great way to see Athens! Rachel and her husband went above and beyond for this group! Don’t hesitate just book it- you won’t regret it!

Idea of this tour exelent, walking inside and around the Great Market Hall, with many testing of Greek foods, end a big Greek Lunch et the end! But that tour was about the safeing many, only chip meals, small portion, fat food! Food was not testy at all! I recomend choose another tour agent!

Don’t eat before you go. Lots of samples then a big dinner at the end! Wonderful and knowledgeable guide

We had so much fun, the guide was lovely and the food was delicious

We had a wonderful knowledgable tour guide. Everything was delicious and even foods we thought we were familiar with we learned some new things about!

It was a great tour, the food was exceptional. Our tour guide was fabulous.

We were very please with our guide, Mike, and had a lovely trip in Athens

Best Food Tour! Our guide, Fotis, was knowledgeable, informative and personable. He made everyone feel welcome and ensured we had bathroom breaks. All of the stops were interesting. I really loved the honey and olive oil store (bought the oak honey), as well as the spice store! All of the cuisine was delicious! We tasted some of the best coffee and tzatziki we've had during our visit! Thank you! Highly recommend this tour!

Our food tour guide, Fotis was friendly, personable, helpful and knowledgeable. My family and I enjoyed all of the stops. We tried wine, breads, meat, olive oils, honey from bee keepers, authentic Greek yogurt and Greek coffee. It was a great time and we made new friends.

This food tour exceeded all our expectations and really does deserve all the 5 star reviews it has. The food we tried was varied, plentiful and delicious, the restaurants we stopped at felt very authentic and not touristy at all. The many fantastic shops and markets we visited were also a great experience and were an opportunity to both try and buy delicious local produce but also to better understand Athens and how the people there live. All the places we visited had been in business for multiple generations, which felt really special, and the produce was out of this world good. Our guide, Mike, was exceptional – both friendly and engaging. His knowledge of the area, the people, food and history are amazing and provided depth and insight to an already wonderful tour. The time really did fly by, but it did not feel rushed and I learnt so much about Athens and Athenian culture. I really am so happy that I chose this tour.

Outstanding, great pace, wonderful sampling, enjoyed the meats, fish, wine, cheese, herbs, liquor, and cheese. And we had an anniversary and birthday in our group and our guide found a way to celebrate with candles and dessert !!

We did the food tour with Arela and she was wonderful! The tour included stops at the market where we tried olives, halva, honey, meat and cheese we visited two restaurants. The food we tried at the restaurants was very authentic and different from what most tourists try. I appreciated that a lot, since we probably wouldn't have tried it on our own. Arela was a great guide, very personable and sweet. She explained the history and background of some of the foods we tasted and the market. The amount of food we ate was just perfect, not too little and not too much. We had a great time!

This tour was wonderful! There were a lot of tasting options and our guide (Arela) was fantastic. Recommend!

The food tour was excellent. Fotis was an outstanding guide. Very engaging, great stories, knowledgeable about Athens. Food stops were authentic, small, local establishments. Highly recommend!

Arela was our tour guide, she was amazing! Very nice, knowledgeable and funny. My entire family enjoyed the tour. Arela was very considerate and asked if anyone had any allergies or dietary restrictions. And she also let is know before going to the fish and meat we had the option of not going in. The one thing that would make this tour even better would be to add a desert shop.
