Fantastic evening in Athens

Robert_W, Jun 2025
Fantastic evening in Athens. Our guide Vassilis whose knowledge of the city and history is amazing and his openness to our suggestions was faultless. Fantastic dishes and drinks. We could not have wished for a better evening in Athens. Thanks again Vassilis.

Casual Night Walk

Jennifer_P, Jun 2025
Great night with Vasillis walking us around town. Eats and drink were good. Private tour was best cause we got to ask all our questions about town and culture. Evening tour is great for enjoying the lights and energy of people enjoying being outside. We were 3 couples and all of us enjoyed the casual night.

Awesome Night in Athens!

Brittany_R, Jun 2024
We scheduled this tour for our first night in Athens and were so glad that we did! It was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Theodore, was AMAZING. There ended up only being 3 of us, but he made the night so enjoyable and truly had so much knowledge of the city. Our tour was on a Saturday night & we loved getting to see the city come alive. When I booked, I didn't realize how much food you actually eat during the tour. That was a pleasant surprise. We also loved the final stop of the night - incredible views. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour with Theo

Max_J, Jun 2024
My wife and I had an incredible time visiting Athens with Theo. He had a contagious/positive energy and was very knowledgeable. He walked us through the history of Athens' streets and architecture. We also were fortunate to experience some Greek specialties such as the Souvlakis and delicious dips (ex: tzatziki sauce). Theo made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the entire evening. I would definitely recommend visiting Athens with him!

Great tour

Ramon_A, May 2024
Theo was absolutely amazing, he was intentional and knowledgeable. You can tell he was knowledgeable and not just reading from a script or concepts he has heard about but really understands and grasps the culture and is willing and wanting to share. Highly recommend Theo and this tour. The food was amazing! Tour went above and beyond our expectations. Thanks Theo!

Theo was a 10/10!

Jakara_R, Apr 2024
This was an absolutely amazing experience! Theo was the best and most handsome tour guide. We loved his energy and he was so knowledgeable. Showed us lots of hidden gems and true Greek culture experience. The food was great and was able to adhere to any dietary restrictions. This experience was a 10/10!

A highlight of our trip

Carol_W, Apr 2024
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Athens. We highly recommend it to get the flavor and ambience of the city at night. Our guide, Thodoris, was fun, knowledgeable and flexible and shared lots of history and information about the city beyond food. We enjoyed our conversation with him almost as much as the delicious food we shared. Everything was delicious and authentic. If you're in Athens, do this tour for an enjoyable overview of the city and what is has to offer.

Breathtaking night view of Acropolis

Katherine_G, Mar 2024
We had a great time with our guide George and the view from the rooftop bar of Acropolis was just breathtaking.

Do it!

Nels_A, Jan 2024
We had such a great time! Highly recommend doing this at the beginning or your stay in Athens. It was a good way to learn and navigate the streets and neighborhoods which helped us immensely for the rest of the stay. And there was some great pizza involved. Thanks so much!

Amazing and enjoyable tour

Melissa_B, Sep 2023
Vassilles was an amazing tour guide. Taught us history, took us to many places and kept us well entertained. Some of our group members were hesitant, but I'm pretty sure ended up fully enjoying themselves. Would highly recommend.

Fun evening in Athens

Linda_H, Sep 2023
Had a great evening with our guide Vasilissi. He was very informative and friendly, he was a lot of fun to be with. Our first place served several meze with a shot of tsipouro ( taste like grapa or moon shine ) then we went to a garden bar where we had wine, then to a gelato place ( to clean our palate, ha,ha) and finally a roof top cocktail bar ! Different and tasty drinks

Amazing tour, highly recommend

Amazing night out!

Rachel_F, Aug 2023
Amazing!!!!! Amazing food, amazing drinks, and amazing tour and guide. Was supposed to be a group, we were hoping to meet some other couples, but I guess no one else booked for the night. But I think we will remain friends with our guide for quite a while! Absolutely recommend!

Hands down the best tour to start your vacation in Athens!

Mercy_S, Aug 2023
Theo was absolutely an amazing guide with his knowledge and his spirit to help you absorb all you need to know about Athens.

Six out of five stars!

Amanda_W, Jul 2023
I went on this tour nearly a year ago and am still thinking about it. Our tour guide was absolutely exceptional, whose name totally escapes me right now (and I feel very guilty about it). He made the experience! The locations were super, and his knowledge and experience added to the tour. I recommend to all!

Fantastic!

Noa_G, Dec 2022
Theo was fantastic! What an incredible start to the journey. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all, very fun. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Bottoms Up

Silas_E, Dec 2022
The food was pleasantly more than I anticipated but worth it! The drinks and sights were also memorable.

Athens at night

Alexis_D, Nov 2022
Well worth the money we spent and it was our first tour in Athens. Our tour guide was amazing. Pointing out different spots and showing us great spots to visit during our time. Food was quite good. Loved the experience!

An great way to spend first night in Athens

Rocio_F, Oct 2022
Thodoris was an awesome guide who gave us a great introduction to Athens in a fun and memorable way. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. His love for Athens was present in every detail throughout the evening! Finishing the night at a rooftop bar with the Acropolis as the backdrop was simply amazing. Thank you, Thodoris from your friends from Minnesota!

This tour is a must!!!

Trieste_B, Sep 2022
If you are visiting Athens, this tour is a MUST! Out of my 14 days in Greece this was one of my favorite experiences. Theo is by far the best tour guide in the business on top of being a wonderful human being. He curated an unforgettable night. Best $$ I spent in Greece- you don’t want to miss out!

Authentic Greek Experience

Tracy_J, Aug 2022
Angel our tour guide was top notch. He had a great personality and took great pride and a demonstrated professionalism in his job. All of the locations we visited were authentic Greek places in which locals frequent. The food was out of this world and the drinks were also very good. You will not have a regret booking this tour. It was worth every penny!

Exceeded Expectations

Haydn_B, Jul 2022
The whole tour was memorable, the tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. There were many places I never would have known how to find if not for the tour. 10/10

Great evening in Athens

Jane_A, Jun 2022
Our guide was amazing - it was informative and fun evening - we learned a bit about Athens, had plenty of fabulous food and drink and saw many places we wouldn’t have ever known to go to.

The Best Taste Tour of Athens

Sierra_L, Apr 2022
This was our favorite activity in Athens. Theo is a wonderful guide and takes you to a variety of Greek restaurants and bars with every type of traditional Greek food and drink you could imagine, so no matter how picky your group is there will be something for everyone. The last stop also offers an amazing view of the Parthenon at night. Do this tour; you won't be disappointed!

A Must Do

reesberetta, Jan 2020
An amazing tour. Evelina was an incredible host and guide: knowledgeable, fun and full of life with a love for Athens nightlife that she shares and spreads to her explorers. If you want to experience contemporary Athens, get a more local experience and thoroughly enjoy yourself in the process, this tour is for you. And of you’re not sure, give it a go, you will be a convert by the end of the evening. Good food, great drinks and the best company.

Our new Greek friend

Joe_V, Nov 2019
Our guide Chris was a pure delight. She had is passionate about her country and was very insightful into the Greek culture. Non of the stops disappointed as each one provided a different culinary experience along with a mixture of Greek spirits. Great option for a tour your first night in the town of you are new to Athens.

Evelina Was awesome

Jason W, Oct 2019
Had a great walking food tour - amazing food, great drinks, and lots of great conversation with our guide. Exceeded our expectations

Informative guide, good variety of foods to try

Virginia_M, Oct 2019
We did this tour on our arrival date into Greece. It was a long your, late at night, but it was a good way to try local food & drinks, while accompanied by a guide. The history told by the guide was interesting. The variety of foods was nice to try. Doing the tour at night, brought down the temperature and brought out the locals at the city center.

Overexpensive

cfazzopardi, Sep 2019
Loved the tour and the guide was exceptional, I was very disappointed when I was advised that people on the tour paid $US60.00 per person that equates to me paying $aud50.00 per person more. I booked 4 tickets- that’s a lot of money that I could have saved using another company. I have used Viator several times, but would now need to do more research
