We lived this food tour of the city of Athens. We tried so many different foods. It was just a bit sometimes and sometimes a regular portion. Our guide was great and very friendly. We would have never found all these wonderful food places. We would recommend it.

Make sure you go hungry. Street food tour, but standing on the pavement at first stop not great. However, fabulous food and far too much of it but that's not a complaint. Good informative guide
James_P, Jul 2026
Great food tour! Food stops were great and the guide, Emmy, was very friendly and informative. She provided interesting historical facts about all the foods we ate. Our 7 year old had no problem keeping up and enjoyed all the food, as well. Would highly recommend!

Great food tour. Best guide and we enjoyed all the information shared. Each stop was great —Thank you!!
Kaye_D, Jun 2026
Great way to taste many of the traditional Greek foods and learn about food history. I wish we had done this tour early in our visit because it made understanding the food culture much better for the rest of our trip. The guide was great to talk with as we walked through the beautiful streets of Athens.

Fotis the guide for our Friday night food tour was SO awesome!! He is a local Athenian and such a charismatic friendly guy with tons of knowledge about Greek culture, history and of course, the cuisine. He took the time to ask about each of the attendees and hear a little of our story which created an inclusive, personable group dynamic! The value of this tour with the amount of food we got plus the vibes was 100% worth it! 5/5 stars best tour I took this trip! Come hungry as there is tons to sample! 3 mains and 3 desserts!

We are traveling with our teenage daughters and we all loved this food tour! Fotis was so fun and knowledgeable about all things pertaining to the history of Greek food. We tried several traditional foods and they were all quite tasty. We ended the tour being very full and satisfied. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat!

Nicole_M, Jun 2026
Every stop had delicious food. Emmy knew so much about history and culture. I’ve done many food tours and this was one of the better ones.
Emily_D, May 2026
The Athens Street Food Walk was enjoyable. Check-in was smooth, and the pace was comfortable.
A highlight was exploring neighborhoods we likely wouldn’t have found on our own. The tour helped us get oriented and discover places to revisit. Tour guide was helpful at explaining each dish.
There was plenty of food, but it was mostly carbohydrate-based, and some flavors felt less vibrant than dishes we had on the Greek islands.
Overall, it was a worthwhile introduction to Athens, especially for first-time visitors.
Sandra_A, May 2026
The good was amazing!! Our guide Amy was the sweetest , funny and very knowledgeable. We learned a-lot but she made it fun. Definitely a must try.

Raymond_M, May 2026
If you are going to take a food tour, this is the one to take! Our guide took us through the various neighborhoods of Athens, explaining the culture and history along the way. She was very enthusiastic and took us to several authentic Greek street food locations. The food was incredible, and there was no shortage of it! There was no need for dinner after this tour! If you want a taste of authentic Greek street food, this tour can't be beat!
Roberta_H, May 2026

I traveled with my father who is not into group tours and even he enjoyed the food tour! Our guide was so knowledgable, had personal stories and made it so fun. He taught us words in Greek, the meaning of words related to food. Would definitely recommend
Alex_H, May 2026
This walking food tour in Athens was one of the highlights of our trip! It was a fantastic way to experience authentic local Greek street food while learning so much about Greek culture, history, and everyday life.
Our tour guide was incredibly informative, high-energy, and entertaining from start to finish. They were very personable and made the whole experience feel welcoming and fun, especially when it came to meeting other people on the tour. We loved all of the local insight about Greek traditions, lifestyle, and the history of Athens woven throughout the experience.
If you want something beyond the typical tourist experience and really want to connect with the food and culture of Athens, this tour is absolutely worth it!

The tour was really nice, full of amazing and tasty food and lots of interesting facts about Greek history and culture.
I was with two teenagers and they were not enthusiastic before the tour … but at the end of it, they both told me that it was really nice and that they really enjoyed it.
Thanks Amy for the nice experience 👍
