Great food experience - Had a great day fully exploring local tastes! We enjoyed so much tasting olive oil and olives that we couldn’t find in our place. Bugatsa definitely was a great kick-starter in the tour! During our lunch together, we felt like having a friend accompanying us. I would suggest this tour to anyone that wants a cozy, informative and delicious way to meet Thessaloniki’s downtown area and food culture!

Great tour - Hara did an amazing job with the tour. It felt like we were just meeting a friend who lives in Thessaloniki. The food was excellent, and the Storytelling was top-notch. She knew the city's history and could put all of the food in context. I also really appreciated that even when we were taken to shops to see the different kinds of wares and try things, there wasn’t any uncomfortable pressure to buy something from that store. Highly recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyed the flavors of Greece! - Walking with Hara was simply amazing as she introduced us to the many tastes and flavors of Greece, while also answering many questions as to what life is like living in Greece! We did have some restrictions in our group of 6, which she navigated very respectfully. Best 4 hours in Thesseloniki!
