In the big city, you will find a plethora of “Athens food tours,” “Athens food tasting tours,” “culinary tours,” and more. Most will be touristy. However, some of the Athens “private” food tours are worth the experience and are VFM.

These food tours are mostly “walking tours” in the center of Athens with multiple prearranged coffee/snack/restaurant stops where you taste food, drinks, and Greek desserts. Some of these food tours end up at a taverna, where you can enjoy a full meal. Unfortunately, we do not offer this kind of food tour. But instead, we go for the real thing!

Food and drink are always part of our day or multi-day private tours and are “included.” So, our way of offering the experience of a food tour is to make it part of your private tour with us. This is why almost all our tours include lunch and drinks and you always enjoy lunch and drinks with your guide!

Why spend time on a “food tasting tour” when you can enjoy the “real thing” during sightseeing? We are here to treat you to lunch and drinks and point out where you can continue your “food tour” during your dinners (if you are on a multiday tour with our agency)!

We have created these two food tours because we consider food in Greece to be all about having the real food and drink experience while exploring and sightseeing. For those of you who do not want to just see the “ruins,” we have selected our best local family-owned businesses with personalized and friendly service to taste and experience Greek cuisine.

Overall, our private private food tours are about real food surrounded by Greeks and away from the big city which is unavoidably touristy, non-authentic, and not as … tasty!
