Experience Food Tours in Athens with Withlocals

"We had a fantastic food tour with Voula last week. We were so happy that we decided on a private tour and that we picked Voula as our guide. We enjoyed it from start to finish, and it felt more like exploring authentic Athens with a friend than a guide. The places she took us to were all amazing, and she is very knowledgeable about both the food culture and the history of Athens. Other guides can – understandably – seem like they are just delivering a memorized monologue for the 100th time. With Voula, we did not feel that way, and she was very interested in engaging with us and answering all our stupid questions. We can highly recommend a food tour with Voula – just ensure to show up with an empty stomach!"

"We didn't know exactly what to expect on this tour since it was our first food tour. Agathi exceeded our expectations. She was warm, kind, informative, and of course took us to eat amazing vegan food! If we hadn't taken the tour we would've have never found and tasted food from most of the off the beaten path places she took us to. The tour was perfectly paced, even for our two children who were with us, we tried new exciting things as well as traditional food. I would highly recommend this tour! "

"We thoroughly enjoyed the Athens Food Tour. Our guide, Makram, made the experience great. He was friendly and gave us new information about Athens and its history. He was very responsive to our wants for the tour, and he took us to places we would not have found on our own (especially our last stop of the evening). When we decided to walk back to our hotel at the end of the night, Makram made sure we knew how to get there before we parted. Overall, a great tour that we wouldn't have been able to do on our own!"

"We had the most incredible food tour in Athens, all thanks to our phenomenal guide, Voula. From the moment we met her, it felt like we were being shown around by a local friend who knows all the best hidden gems. Her passion for Greek food and culture was contagious, and every stop on the tour was a delight. The Nutella donuts were out of this world — warm, gooey, and absolutely addictive. The visit to the honey store was both delicious and educational; we never knew honey could be that complex and flavorful! The meat market gave us a fascinating peek into daily Athenian life, and Voula brought it to life with stories and insider knowledge. One of our favorite moments was the little shop she took us to, where we tried an incredible variety of feta-based dishes — each one better than the last! We never would have found a place like that on our own. Voula made the experience feel personal, authentic, and truly local. This was so much more than a food tour — it was a cultural deep dive and a highlight of our trip. We can’t recommend her (and this tour) enough! A must do in Athens! "

"Whenever I travel to any international destination, I always make time to get to know a place through it's food culture. This is a great tour with a guide who truly cares about ensuring you have a great experience. Voila will work around your food allergies/preferences/restrictions while still giving you great insights and tastes of Greece & Athens. There is so much to learn about a place through it's food and this is definitely (and deliciously!) time well spent. "

"Yorgos took us to some great authentic restaurants around the city center and we learned a lot about Greek culture and history. These are places we would not have found on our own and we’re glad to have a guide like Yorgos to lead the way. Highly recommended!"

"Agathi was amazing. We had two vegans and two non-vegans that loved everything we tried. She took us to some great parts of Athens that we would not have found on our own. It was one of the best days in Athens. Highly recommend, but come hungry! Lots of tastings that will fill you up. "

"My family had a great time walking around and sampling food with Agathi! She was knowledgeable & kind and was so accommodating with different food allergies in my family (1 vegan, 1 celiac & meat lovers). We all had a fantastic tour & would highly recommend Agathi to anyone who is in Athens."

"We had a fantastic time with Georgia. She was incredibly informative and fun to spend a Sunday afternoon with. I can’t recommend her enough. "

"We are a group of 6 from Chicago area. Dionysus was great, very knowledgeable and took us to places we wouldn’t have gone on our own. Food selection and amount was perfect and the walk around the streets of Athens was just what we were looking for. "
