Join us for an exploration of the city’s lesser-known facets that unveil themselves only after dusk. Traverse the city’s museum precinct, absorb the tales whispered in the bylanes, try the traditional “Mezedes” (Greek tapas), and indulge in some local spirits at a variety of places that only the natives are privy to!

  • Participate in a dusky promenade through Athens in a cozy group
  • Take a tour of famous landmarks and squares revealing myths and folklore about one of the world’s most ancient cities
  • Immerse in authentic taverns to taste award-winning Greek libations and spirits including, ouzo, raki, and tsipouro

  • Alcoholic beverages are allowed to participants age 18 or older because of the national alcohol restrictions. Participants under the age 18 are provided non-alcoholic beverages.
  • Guests pickup is offered for the private group option. Pick up time adjustable upon your request. We will meet you at your Athens hotel lobby or at the Piraeus port. Our guide will be holding a sign with your name.
  • How you help the local community by joining this tour: - Local culinary traditions are preserved by visiting 100% locally owned stores that serve traditional Greek dishes. The food sampled during the tour is sourced from the Greek countryside.
  • Food Allergies: Unless you suffer from multiple, combined food allergies, or unless you are a vegan, we will figure it out. Vegetarians are welcome on all tours.
  • Please wear comfortable shoes for walking.
  • If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides a tip – though not compulsory – is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry.

Yet another amazing tour! Great way to see the city! Learn the ins and outs and go beyond the normal city sights - This is my second time doing this tour with Theo and let me tell you, he just keeps getting better! I did this tour with my family back in 2017 and again with my wife in 2023. Both times, Theo takes the time to learn your name, where your from and adapt the tour to the group and the people that he is guiding. From the last time to the most recent time, the tour expanded to a longer and larger tour with more sights, more food and the best drinking spots in Athens! No need to eat before this tour as you get three good meals paired with drinks and even a little ice cream in there as well! Plus as a bit of a surprise that I won’t ruin, you end the tour at one of the coolest spots in the city. Theo takes the time to make sure each table is reserved in advance so there is no waiting, no paying the bill and water is served at each spot! Please please please take my word this is a great tour that I would totally recommend early in your trip! Theo also takes the time to collect your email to send you a whole list of things to do, see and drink all over Athens so you can explore with local recommendations even after the tour! 100% worth it for couples and drinking age family members! Thanks again Theo!

BOOK THIS TOUR!! - THEO IS AMAZING!! I am a solo female traveler and I felt SO safe with Theo as my guide! I was lucky enough to have a private tour and had the most amazing time. Theo showed me places I would have never found on my own! Let me tell you, the best places are hard to find without a local, so doing this tour is essential to seeing the real Athens at night! Theo- you are incredible and thank you from the bottom of my heart for an amazing night. BOOK THIS TOUR!!!!

Totally stood us up - We booked a private tour with hotel pick up through Viator. We waited for 45 minutes and no one showed up. Will be expecting a full refund.
