15 Best Athens Tours & Experiences 2020

Unbelievable food tour!

My husband and I were in port for the day, and having been in Athens before, we wanted to do something different. This was the best choice, and so glad we did! If you arrive on a cruise ship, you need a driver to get to the meeting point.

Anna was our guide. We had so much fun with her. I can't tell you enough how wonderful all the food was from the Greek coffee, the olives, the meat and cheese, the doughnuts, the fantastic gyros (we are still talking about how amazing they were), and everything else in between. We walked through the meat market, the fish market, and the vegetable market. We also stopped in a few churches. We took our time at all the stops, never felt rushed.

Again, can't say enough about this tour and the food. Great choice and variety for all the stops.

Highly recommend this tour, and go hungry!

Anna - it took us the rest of the cruise to finish the olives! I wish we had that here!

Best night of our visit to Athens

If you’re thinking of taking this cooking class, think no more: you HAVE to take this class! Stam was our instructor. He was fun, personable, intelligent, and helpful. He helped us learn prepare to prepare multiple delicious dishes. Everything we made/ ate was so delicious, I wish I had more room in my stomach to eat it all! I can’t wait to go home and make these things for my family and friends in New York. It’s special to be able to bring a taste of Greece home with you, and that’s exactly what you get when you take this class to learn how to make these dishes.the view on top of the building at night is phenomenal; truly a sight to be seen. Stam is an ambitious and amazing chef; you’ll be lucky to experience his class. Happy to call him a new friend! Thank you for the experience.

Greek Cooking class with an Acropolis view

When we were choosing this tour, it was more expensive than the others but it was very well planned with 8 stops and an abundance of delicious Greek specialties. Our guide, Penelope was delightful. She was knowledgeable and funny. She took us to places that locals go because of the yummy food. Just the type of tour we were hoping for! The group was small, only 7 so we could hear her without the earpiece devices. We tasted many wonderful items I had never heard of. At the end of the tour she helped us find shops that sold food "souvenirs" we wanted to take home. That evening she followed up with an email giving us the names of all the things we tasted. I wish we could give Penelope and this tour ten stars.

Acropolis Skip the Line Tour

It was a fantastic tour. Our guide obviously loved what he does. He was so passionate about The Acropolis and It resonated. It was a lot of information to take in, but was very enjoyable. He spoke excellent English.

Marina's Athens Food Tour is an Athens Must Do!!!

Marina's food tour of athens was a true highlight of our time in Athens. We were a group of older people and me, and she was considerate at all times about their wants and likes. We saw and tasted so much, and not just food, but about the history and people of Athens. It was a truly wonderful way to explore and get to know Athens better, filled with delicious treats and visual wonders too, and in particular the impact of migration, and the 1921 Greek refugees from Turkey, on the food and neighbourhoods of Athens. Marina has a wealth of knowledge and options for sweat and savoury treats, and personal relations with many of the shops, that ensured we didn't miss anything! She also could tailor it as we went along, based on peoples cravings. Thank you so much Marina for opening our eyes, stomachs and hearts to Athens. And thank you for all the assistance you gave my parents (who had been pick pocketed earlier in the day). We can't thank you enough for everything! If you come to Australia, we will repay your hospitality

Perfect memories captured professionally.

Michalis is such a wonderful and talented photographer. My wife and I and two daughters traveled to Athens, Greece during Spring Break. Although I am the type who dislikes posing for photographs, we reserved a day photo shoot with Michalis as my wife loves family photos and I enjoy city tours. Michalis took us through the streets of Athens to view the local city center and spots only local Athenians would know about. We enjoyed his company so much that we reserved a second session with him at a different location to marvel the views of the sunset. Not only did Michalis capture every detail on film magnificently, he knows the city very well and gave us some great tips on places to visit and suggestions on places to eat.

The pictures turned out beautifully. We can’t thank Michalis enough for his friendship and for capturing the most memorable moments of our trip to Athens. If you are considering reserving a Day/Night photo shoot, do not hesitate to book a session with Michalis. You will not regret it.

Try it

So, we wanted to do something different from the typical tourist sightseeing stuff in Athens. We came across this, booked it and got reply and instructions where to go and meet up.
Very polite and friendly people arranging this, absolutely lovely meeting them.
A brief history about the ancient Greek art of clay and then we got to the crafting.
It looked very easy and smooth when the instructor worked with the clay, but don't be fooled, it was not at all as easy as it looked.
Was a fun and interesting experience, I would probably go again when visiting Athens again.
Definitely recommend this for anyone

Beautiful experience & professional photos!

We have spend a beautiful time with Michalis at Athens. Our group have been visited Plaka and Acropolis hills a day before, but he took as there by such interesting and I would even say "secret" path, that we would never found ourselves.
We wanted to have both day & night photos, so we have booked double time (4 hours) starting from 18:00 to 22:00. We saw very many interesting and nice places where Michalis took very professional group, couples and individual photos of all of us.
I definetelly recommend Michalis not only as professional photographer, but also as very kind and polite guide!

Don't miss this tour with Marina!

Marina was our smartest choice in planning our visit to Athens.
The tour with her was out very first thing we did in the city right upon arrival and it was exactly what a visitor needs in a new city: a local showing her/him around while pointing out at best spots to eat (where we of course tasted different foods) and places to visit again later. all was with her fluent English and knowledge of Athens past and present day and night life.

she was kind and lovely and gave us the best welcome possible to Athens.
We highly recommend her tour !!

A truly local experience

I had a great time hanging out with Vagelis and his friend Nick. We walked around Exarchia, ate local foods, sat in an alley, and talked about life. Vagelis went the extra mile to cater a tour in line with my interests. The guys invited me to spend another evening out with them in Kerameikos, which too was very nice. As a cool bonus, Vagelis took several pictures of me -- great memories! But above all else, we made friends, which is a tremendous opportunity for me to understand the Greek life and Greeks better.

Amazing experience!

Marina is the most knowledgeable, energetic, fun to be around professional foodie ever. I recommend her food tour to everyone. It was seriously the highlight of my week trip in Athens. She gave me so many recommendations and I will have enough food to try for four Athens trips!
On the tour, do try to try something new - greek food can be very different if you’re from North America or the UK. You never know if you’ll actually end up liking something that you thought you’d hate!

The best guide in town

My Husband and I had the chance to meet Marina while staying in Athens for the weekend in July this year. It was a real eye opening food tour with surprises in every corner and great food tips from our guide.
Marina has great knowledge in food and wines and shares it with a great passion. We have really good memories from our time in Athens and Marina's food tour.
If you have to do one tour in Athens, this is the one!

Michalis is a super nice guy that has an incredible eye for photography.

Amazing photos

Michalis is a really skilled photographer who knows how to work with the backgrounds and lighting. I have done a few photoshoots with other photographers, but the pictures from this shoot are by far the best I have received. Great value for money - would definitely use again and cannot recommend enough!

Great tour

Marina showed us a side of Greek cuisine we would not have seen had we stuck to the popular spots near the Acropolis; there is more to it than souvlaki and moussaka (both excellent dishes by the way). I highly recommend doing the tour at the beginning of your stay.
