Best local walking tour! - This was the best way to see where the locals go and to taste what their eat! Loved the coffee house and learned that Turkish people spend 2 hrs at coffee!! I loved just sitting and chatting instead of taking my coffee out! Plus we found some great shopping areas to go to after the tour. The travel company were able to take us despite not having a guide. They called one in and we were ready to go!! The ship had to switch itineraries because of weather and it turned out to be a perfect day!!! Our guide was a sweetheart and I would recommend this to anyone who hasn’t done a walking tour!! Got some good tastings and great baragains!

Best city walking tour I ever took - Our guide was lovely and came in just for us when our amended date didn’t arrive to the tour operator. She gave us first class service and showed us thing we never would have seen. Loved the ‘real’ city life. Loved the markets and the taste testing. Just perfect. The travel company bent over backwards to accommodate us and they did.

Got to try all the classics! - Our guide Konstantina was great! Super knowledgable and friendly, and the group was nice too! Tasted some really great foods and drinks and walked through all the old markets. History and food, who could ask for more?

Our family of 10 loved... - Our family of 10 loved the Thessaloniki: Walking Open Market Food Tour and Tasting. Helen, our guide, provided great insight into the culture and history of the city as we walked through several traditional markets tasting olives, sweets, savory meat and cheese pies, coffee and other traditional treats. Our small group of 12 allowed us see and hear more than if we had chosen to participate in a shore excursion offerd by the cruise line. We highly recommend this tour to experience Thessaloniki in just a few hours.
