9 Best Athens Bar, Club & Pub Tours 2019

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.

Great Evening with Marina

I had a great time with Marina wine bar hopping around Athens! She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. It was the perfect way to spend my first night in Athens after a long flight.

Terrific Tour

Our tour with Eleni was fabulous. We loved seeing parts of Athens we would never have found and tasting authentic Greek dishes. Eleni was a perfect host, so warm and interesting. She was an excellent ambassador for Greek cuisine and gave us a glimpse of how Greeks live outside the tourist haunts. We were very pleased to receive a follow-up email with notes from our tour, some favorite recipes and even her suggestions for food in our upcoming stay in Santorini. We try to do food tours in cities we visit and this was an excellent choice. One of my favorite discoveries in Greece was the drink Maotixa. We bought a bottle at one of Eleni’s stops and smiled every time we had a drink. I only hope I can find it in the US. Eleni and GreekingMe Food tours were a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Athens.

Excellent Customized Private Tour By Marina

I have been to Athens at least 5 times previously. Marina did a fantastic job emailing me about my likes, where I have been, what we like and don’t like and many other questions which was great as she was understanding likes and dislikes.

She really hit a “home-run” last night. We simply spent the evening at a wonderful deli in a suburb south of the Acropolis owned by two gentlemen who are passsionate about Greece and about the food and beverage they serve.

I could not ask for a better prepared evening. My conversation with Marina was wonderful. She understands American and English cultures very well. The best time and investment I have made in the 5 times I have been to Athens.

Please contact Marina as she will organize any type of personalized tour you and interested in.

Fabulous Food Tour

Got to experience the food tour in the night thanks to my friends who gifted it to me and my wife. We had no idea what to expect but by the end of the tour we decided that for all our future trips we will start with a food tour.

Elena was fabulous in taking us through the various options of Greek cuisine and that set the tone for our wonderful two-week trip. We had this on the first night in Athens and thanks to Elena's tips we visited a few more restaurants in other places across Greece. On the night we were back in Athens we went back to one of the restaurants (Ergon Deli).
We will definitely recommend everyone who visits Greece (especially Asians) who are not familiar with authentic Greek cuisine to signup with these guys.
Thanks for the experience.

Dionysis!! What a great tour guide

I visited Athens alone in March for a few days and so I opted for this tour in order to experience Athens night life without being completely alone.
Well turns out i was the only person to book the tour that night! Typical my luck.
However it didn't stop Dionysis and I having great fun in the city. He showed me the real Athens and where the locals like to chill out, relax, drink sweet wine and ouzo and nibble on tasty treats.
At first I thought it would be awkward just the two of us but his laid back attitude quickly made me feel comfortable and before I knew it we were chatting like old friends!
I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Athens but especially those who want a sense of the real Athens lifestyle away from the tourist traps.

Highly personalized and insightful foray into Greek Cuisine

Elena, our guide took us (my husband and me) through a lovely night time stroll through the Syntagma, Monastiraki, Plaka and Psirri. She took us to a variety of places from chic cafes to family-run tavernas. We loved just about every dish we sampled and learnt so much about the cuisine, it's influences and the history. We did the tour on the first day of our 2 week holiday and this set us up so well for the rest of our trip. We knew what to order going forward and were not stuck to eating Sovlaki and Gyros for every meal. Elena gave us helpful suggestions about restaurants to visit in Santorini and Nafplio as well. Thank you GreekingMe and Elena for this wonderful experience.

The best first evening in Athens!

We booked this wine hoping tour for our first evening in Athens and it was our first experience of the city.
Marina was a great host and took us to two excellent wine bars which we would have simply not found on our own. We learnt loads about Greek wine and the best varieties to choose. We also had an amazing cheese and meat platter.
Marina was really interested in our tastes and what we had planned for our trip and gave us a few more recommendations. She also sent an email with plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars which kept us busy for the rest of the week.
Couldn't recommend a better way to experience Athens!

Wonderful host, great live music and cocktails!

I was a single female traveling in Greece and wanted a way to go out at night without breaking the bank and while feeling safe. The Urban Athens nightlife tour was everything I was looking for! Our host was amazing--friendly, knowledgeable and very well versed with the city. We were able to hear authentic live music and had delicious cocktails, I would highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful evening with Vangelis!

Vangelis gave me so much useful advice when I was in Athens. He helped me find an amazing, traditional restaurant in a local neighbourhood, recommended things to do and see and taught me a lot about life in Athens. I learnt a lot and had a lovely evening. A great way to see the real, everyday Athens, and get away from the tourists. Very kind guy! It was a true pleasure!

Marina was amazing!!!

I would recommend this to anyone going to Athens. I have Celiac, and the care that was taken to assure I had fun and didn’t get sick was fantastic!!! We did a private tour with Marina ( I hope I have the spelling correct) she was a blessing, and made sure the extras my friend asked for were executed. The next time I’m there I will do this again!

Two thumbs up!

We had a blast wine bar hopping with Marina! She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Greek wines. This was just what we needed on our last night in Athens. Two thumbs up! We hope to stay in touch to learn about how we can buy Greek wines to have shipped to us.
