Perfect food and culture tour - Tonia was our guide for our amazing personal culinary tour for the day! We had melt-in-your-mouth pastries from a beautiful bakery, toured all the local food markets, learned the proper way to taste olive oils, delicious balsamic, spices, teas and a beautiful lunch! Also learned so much about Greek culture. Highly recommend this tour.

Great inside look at contemporary life in Thessaloniki! - Tonia is a great guide to what locals look for and appreciate in food. Lots of tasting, learning, information about Greek life even beyond food. Our final restaurant destination was fabulous with the chef’s choice of the day. All stops along the way were interesting and fun and each destination had passionate and cheerful owners.

The Best Experience in Thessaloniki - This was the highlight of own time in Thessaloniki! Our experience and tour guide were wonderful! We savored so many unique and wonderful dishes while going through the markets, local shops and eateries. Our trip to the market was especially memorable because our tour guide picked up ingredients to bring to a local restaurant where the chef was able to create a unique and off-menu meal for our group. Our tour guide made us feel so welcome. We wished we could have stayed longer for both the food and the company. I would make a trip back just to have this tour again.

Best Thessaloniki Experience! - We didn’t have many expectations going into Thessaloniki, but walked away fully convinced that it was the most fun we have had on our trip. Tonia, the guide, was the best tour guide we’ve had. She was very friendly, thoughtful, and made us feel like we were apart of her city (shoutout to George). The food was outstanding and cooked for us from the produce Tonia picked out at the market. Awesome experience!!

Thessaloniki's best food tour!!! - Tonia was an incredible host and was full of information and advice on the food scene of Thessaloniki. From the chocolates and Trigona (amazing) to the olive oil tastings, spice adventure, olives by the kilo!, and so much more. Finalized by an amazing lunch at a special location that lasted a couple of hours with food that we purchased along the way. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the culinary treats of Thessaloniki with a special guide, two thumbs up for Tonia!!!
