WHY ATHENS DOWNTOWN?

The downtown district is one of the most vibrant areas in Athens. Here is where you find the beating heart of Athens; flavors, sounds, and smells co-exist to create a unique area. The district is full of interesting old-fashioned shops, historic taverns, and traditional coffee shops. Here, new and old overlap in charming neighborhoods full of street art, and small artisan shops with quirky finds and offbeat homewares. If you're looking for authentic local products, this is your paradise!

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do. We cannot promise but we will try our best to sort something out for you.

Is there a lot of walking?

To join our Food Tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. The route is not too difficult and there are no hills or stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well. We will be able to sit in some of the venues! We highly recommend comfortable shoes such as sneakers and to avoid flip flop as streets in Athens are very slippery!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Athens. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

Can I pay the tour in cash?

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
