Konstantina was awesome - Konstantina was very very friendly. She took us to some traditional, cute spots around the city to eat. She was also very knowledgeable on her history about Thessaloniki and Greece. We were very impressed by her historical knowledge. Pro tip: do NOT eat breakfast prior to this tour. You will eat A LOT.

Great food and fun!! - Such A great experience with our guide and native Margarita! She gave a great overview of history and Greek culture and the cuisine - oh my!! Every single stop was informative and delicious! We could not have asked for a better guide or tour and it was well worth the money and time. Margarita was friendly, personable, and went above and beyond!

Excellent introduction to local tastes and markets. - Constantine (Megas) was an excellent guide. Gave some interesting information and shared the tastes of her home town. Don't eat too much in the morning before you take this tour, there's plenty to eat on this tour. This is a nice relaxed stroll around the markets so most people would manage it easily. Amazing that there are so many markets so close together. Well worth the time spent.

Delicious, educational tour - Eleni was a wonderful guide. I'm so happy we took this tour early in our stay as it gave us confidence to keep trying foods that were new to us. I especially loved the tour through the market and having the chance to talk to the shopowners. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and we were able to try many new foods. There were many delicious foods but I think the bougatsa was my favorite.

Exceptional tour guide - I highly recommend this food walking tour. You will get to not only taste different dishes and food, but also learn some history about the city, market, etc. My guide Konstantina was exceptional! She really enjoys what she does and is very knowledgeable. She also gave me a lot of tips on what to see and where to eat for the rest of my trip.

Great food, history walk - Great selection of foods and drinks to sample in multiple markets. Great balance of history, culture, and pace for walking, talking, and resting. Bathroom breaks in the markets, too 👍

Don’t eat ahead of time! - The variety of foods and historical knowledge was amazing. We couldn’t eat another bite by the time we left, and were given leftovers to take with us. The guide Dina paced the walk extremely well, adjusting the tour to bring us to places that were less crowded. We left with a goodie bag of olives and tea leaves. It was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend.
