The experience
What makes this different from a standard sightseeing tour is that you're walking to eat, not eating to break up a walk. The day starts with Greek coffee and local pies at St. Gerasimos square in Firostefani, then moves along a footpath that runs right on the edge of the caldera. The views are there, but they're the backdrop to what you're actually doing, which is stopping at eateries, taverns and producers along the way. A cold glass of local beer comes early; the olive oil tasting happens in the historical alleyways of Fira; souvlaki, the Greek street food, gets its own moment. The guide is someone local, someone who knows the people running these places (the tavern owners, farmers, souvlaki griller, honey producers), and they're part of the tour, not just the backdrop.
The walk covers 4 hours and includes a sit-down midday meal in a tavern with caldera views, so you're not grazing the whole time. Loukoumades, Greek doughnuts, close out the tasting part of the day. You get a bottle of water and a map of the island at the start, and a farewell gift at the end. All the food and drink samplings, the coffee, the beer, the tsipouro, the taxes, all included. The tour runs in most weather, though you'll want to dress for sun and wind on that caldera footpath.
