Perfect - Really great tour with just the right amount of food and time at each location. Great variety. Our guide, Adria, was sooooo lovely, we wish her well. Excellent recommendation to a local restaurant where we ended up eating 2 nights in a row as we loved the place so much, thank you!

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.

Very informative tour, but with little tasting - Rita was a lovely, knowlegeable & experienced guide. She showed up with a bag of goodies (bread roll, olives, tea, sweets) for my husband and myself, which we took home with us. She guided us around the markets, pointing out foods of interest, local restaurants and explaining how foods are used and prepared. At our coffee break, she gave us different types of pastries and cakes to try, which she had brought with her. However, other than these and some Turkish delight, we ate surprisingly little during the tour itself. It was the first food tour I‘ve taken where I‘ve finished the tour hungry. My suggestion to the tour operator would be to sample more foods during the tour, stopping for small plates of food at different locations instead of being gifted food to take home.

Not happy - Make sure your Cruise ship will enter the port in time for your tour. We were told we could get a refund but we did not. Maybe the tour would've been great but we didn't get a chance to experience.
