Absolute Must - From the start to the finish we experienced a most wonderful education on Greek Culture and eating habits. Tonia introduced us to some of the daily food that is consumed in many homes, then took us through the market teaching us how to check the quality and freshness of the products. After this we had the most amazing lunch eating such a variety of foods and in a truly rustic family restaurant. It was the best experience of this kind we have ever enjoyed. Thank you.

What Greeks Eat was AMAZING!! - Tonya was amazing, we had such a wonderful day. She answered our many, many questions. She also molded the tour to our requests and questions. She never rushed us, we tried lots of food that was not part of the standard Greek fare. We had so many amazing Oliver’s, learned about honey/herbs/spices/olive oil. The tour started at the covered market and she brought little boxes of Greek delights. She brought wine/beer/water and she thought of everything.by the end of the tour there were pictures, hugs and a new friendship. There were 6 of us and we all knew each other, but she fit into our group easily. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR-best part of our trip so far!

Fantastic authentic food tour! - We had a fantastic tour with Tonia who was so knowledgeable and passionate about her Greek food heritage. The tastings were delicious. The restaurant we visited for lunch was a real locals place which you would never find as a tourist and the food was excellent. Tonia also gave us some super restaurant and wine tasting recommendations for the rest of our stay. Highly recommend !

Foodie paradise - Absolutely fantastic. Tonia was a superb guide, really knowledgeable about the food and the markets we visited. The savoury and sweet treats she brought at the start of the tour were delicious and the restaurant where we had lunch was sublime. Great food, which we wouldn't necessarily have had if we'd stuck to much more touristy places. Fantastic all round - 10 out 10 for everything. Would highly recommend this tour.

Must do food tour when in Thessaloniki - This food tour exceeded my expectations! My guide Tonia took us to spots that I would have never wondered to as a tourist - I went to Greece before and knew most of the common food staples but not the ones I experienced on this tour :) Tonia is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to food but not only! I learned about herbs, cultural traditions and the history of Thessaloniki. If you want the ultimate experience where the food is top quality - I totally recommend booking this tour !!

Unforgettable experience - This tour with Tonia was simply incredible and one of the highlights of our trip! As a chef, she curated an amazing selection of food and ingredients, taking us to her favorite local spots, all of which were exceptional. Her passion and expertise clearly shine through as she walked us through the flavors of Thessaloniki! Her impeccable taste and close relationships with the shop owners made for a truly personal experience. Tonia’s warmth, expertise, and connections made it feel like we were being shown around by a friend. Highly recommend for any food lover.

100/10 experience, HIGHLY recommend! - My husband and I loved every second of this tour. We were led around by the wonderful Tonia, who personalised the entire day and selected delicious spots. We learnt a huge amount on the tour and it was clear to see how passionate Tonia was. We cannot wait to go back to the food market and buy some recommended treats (for very fair, honest prices) and the restaurant to finish the experience was beyond delicious. Tonia was able to adapt the tour to our dietary requirements and we loved spending many hours talking about food and each other. Thank you SO much for an amazing day!
