When you are in Thessaloniki, you simply must take the street food to her with Sophia. She is a fabulous host. Who knows everything about the Thessaloniki. Most importantly, she knows where to get the best bougatsa, koulouri, and trigano! At the end of the tour we had a traditional meal of souvlaki and gyro! Thank you, Sofia -

Our tour was very good. Our guide, Sophia, was smart, fun and very knowledgable about the region. The route was mostly flat but there was a fair amount of walking involved. Some of the streets were cobblestone and therefore, uneven so caution was taken. All in all, it was a great experience.

    It was a great way to see different parts of the city and eat delicious food. Our tour guide, Sophie, was kind, funny, intellectual and felt like a friend.

    Great food tour and city history

    Jawad_H, Jul 2025
    We'd like to thank Pantelis our tour guide for his great company. He was very informative, positive and energetic. This is not only a great tour to taste some good food in Thesaloniki but to learn some history as well. Thank you.

    A lovely experience

    aida, Feb 2025
    A must do in Thessaloniki. The hours my daughter and I spent were memorable. Ms. Anastasia was very generous in explaining whatever we asked about and we had a good amount of knowledge about the city, it's history and traditions. She has a very nice character. The places we went to and the food we had were very enjoyable!! We became to know and tried several new things and greek traditions.

    I had a private tour with Anatasia. It was a lovely way to learn about city & food, as well as try a few treats along the way. She was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

    Great food tour!

    Hope_B, Oct 2024
    The food tour was fun and full of information and great food which we would have never experienced without the incredible guide. Sophie was knowledgeable about local cuisine and local history. My daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it as a great way to experience the food of Thessaloniki. Thank you.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you so much for joining & all the best!

    The best tour I have ever been on.

    Alexander_M, Sep 2024
    Sophie was absolutely amazing on this tour. I was lucky enough to be the only one who booked so she was able to make it personal to me; which I appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best eats in the city while also getting an understanding of the history and culture.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thank you so much for joining Alexander, it was a pleasure for us too. All the best!

    Wonderful good and guide

    Elizabeth_C, Jun 2024
    Sophia was wonderful, she took us to hidden gems and gave us a political and historical tour through a feminist lense as well.fascinating. And the food at every stop was perfection.

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Thank you Elizabeth, was a pleasure!

    Great food with great company!

    Saumya_R, Jun 2024
    Sophie was an excellent tour guide, and i had a great time despite being the only person on the tour! She expertly navigated us through the streets of Thessaloniki to some of the tasiest spots in town. She explained the multiple cultural influences in the city on the food, markets, and architecture, and gave some background on the different neighborhoods in the city. I did this tour on the tail end of my trip, but it would be a great way to start your trip off and learn the lay of the city. Obviously the food was amazing, you get to try ~5 local specialties (including coffee) which are all so tasty. I was so full that I didn't need to eat anything for the rest of the day! Don't eat anything before this tour, and you're guaranteed to have a great time.

    Delicious Bougatsa

    Beth_W, May 2024
    The opportunity to learn both about the culture and food of Thessaloniki was wonderful. Leo was incredibly knowledgeable about his home city and the food experiences were authentic and delicious. Highly recommend.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Thank you, was a pleasure!

    Excellent tour

    Sam_S, May 2024
    This food tour was really amazing. I don’t ever do food tours and Sophie was really great. I was lucky on this day to have just me on the tour and was able to ask so many questions, which Sophie was a wealth of knowledge. There was so much I did not know. The food, the people, the guide, just amazing. I would not have found these places or foods if I didn’t do this tour. Thanks Sophie. It made the world of difference.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Thank you for joining Same, was a great day! Sophie

    Don't hesitate, book it:)

    Andrea_S, Apr 2024
    This tour is like walking around in Thessaloniki with a friend who knows the best places to buy food and can tell you everything you want to know about the city. I am very happy that I booked this tour and I recommend it to everybody. The only thing to keep in mind is to arrive hungry!!! Thank you very much for the insightful tour and all the excellent food! I even went back to some of the shops to bring home souvenirs:)

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Brent_H, Apr 2024
    Was an awesome experience. Leo was a super cool guide. We learned a ton about architecture and the history of Thessaloniki. We tried a bunch of different foods with some extras for later. We’ve done a lot of food tours and this one we were at long about the whole next day.

    Thank you so much! All the best!

    Be aware if you are on a cruise.

    Kristine_M, Mar 2024
    They don't understand how to deal with cruise passengers. We repeatedly told the guide the when the cruise was leaving. They kept saying it was ok. At the end we ended up running back to the port and had to miss the last stop and couldn't finish the 2nd to last. The guide spend way too much time walking around for nothing. He brought us to stores, we stood in front and he talked about how amazing it is, then walked on. In the end, we ate at standard places, nothing different and ignored the more unique places of Thessaloniki.

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    Hello Kristine, first of all thank you for writing the review. To continue on your comments, i will remind you that you where not alone (we had another couple with you at the same time from the cruise) - meaning the that if you are fast and they are slow we have to cope with each other's pace. In any case we apologise if you were frustrated about the time - sometimes with mixed groups this can happen though. The places we stop at are not standard & you can see the previous reviews and confirm that. If you expected some luxury meals, then certainly this is not the tour that offers that. We offer genuine Greek food, and we take you to places that we also go. Just like our friends. All the best.

    Great tour, great guide, great food!

    Melissa_H, Feb 2024
    An enjoyable way to learn about the city’s history and delicious cuisine. Sophie was wonderful and very knowledgeable. As a solo traveler, I was happy to have her taking me to places I would never know about on my own. A fun, memorable day! Great food, too! Highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Feb 2024

    Thank you so much for joining, all the best!

    Best Greek street food experience!

    FreEtta_B, Dec 2023
    This tour was amazing! Akis was our guide - he was punctual, so knowledgeable, kind, friendly and very easy to talk to. It didn’t take long before he felt like an old friend. My Mom and I tried Greek street food for the first time and it was excellent! He patiently answered all of our questions and gave us tips on how to navigate the city. We highly recommend this incredible experience- make sure you ask for Akis! :)

    Delicious food tour

    Carly_E, Jul 2023
    This tour was easy to book and the company provided easy meeting instructions and contact information. Our guide, Leo, was knowledgeable about both the food and the history of Thessaloniki having grown up in the area. We tried delicious local street food including multiple bougataa, local coffee, and a lamb and pork dish similar to a meatball among other delights. Additionally we walked around the historic district of Thessaloniki and saw a variety of its food halls. The tour was a great experience!

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Thank you so much, we're glad you enjoyed it, all the best!

    Tasty and exciting

    Irina_L, Jun 2023
