Insights into Thessaloniki - A marvelous way to learn about history through the foods it offers. Our guide was exceptional. Well-versed in the cultural aspects of food as well as steeped in the history of the area.

So Much More than Food! - Hands down the best food tour I've ever been on. So much more than food! Not only was the food at each stop delicious, but I learned about food, culture, history, and even literature! Truly a one of a kind food tour with several one of a kind foods not found anywhere else in the world. Your guide Panagiotis is intelligent, articulate, interesting, and informative. This was a perfect day.

Wonderful tour through Thessaloniki and great food. - Food is food, of course, but with Panos --a Thessaloniki native, chef, historian and excellent storyteller-- it is so much more. I had the pleasure of joining him on a long and and exploration of his home city, where I cam to understand that food is culture, food is geography, food is society, history, current events...and let's not forget absolutely delicious. The city really comes alive through the markets, cafes and restaurants, and Panos is an excellent guide. Join him to have fun, laugh, eat and learn about Thessaloniki. Great time guaranteed.

A first class guide to Thessaloníki! - Easily (and by a long margin) the best 'foodie' tour I have ever been on! Panos is a fount of knowledge about both Thessaloníki and its food! Highly recommended... and not only for the exceptional cheese!

Best Way to Spend a Day in Thessaloniki! - This was the best decision we made on our trip to Thessaloniki! It is a must if you are in town and want to not only eat some of the best food in the region but also learn a lot about this history of the city and how it developed over time. We will do this tour over and over again if we are back. Our guide was very kind and fun to talk with and he also gave us some great recommendations for eating and activities after our time together.

Great way to spend a morning! - The tour was as much (or more) or about the history and culture of Thessaloniki as it was about food. We learned so much and had a great time doing it. Chef Panagiotis was incredible knowledgeable and clearly well connected in the community. You will not regret booking this tour!

The Best Tour in Thessaloniki - Panos is incredible! He has crafted this wonderful tour from markets, restaurants, cafes and shops that he has known and used throughout his life and career as a chef. You get to try wonderful Greek foods, as well as learn about the culture. Panos is knowledgeable and hospitable, truly the best. I booked this tour solo, and Panos made me feel at ease in the group. I ended up making some lovely friends. I recommend booking this tour in the first part of your visit, as you will get additional recommendations and ideas for the rest of your stay. I would book this tour again if I am ever in Thessaloniki!

Lot’s of history, light on food. - Lot’s of walking, but no hills or steps. Did not get to sample as many food or beverage items as we have had on other food tours. Our guide went into great detail on the history of Thessaloniki.
