This was such a great tour! We got to experience some yummy treats Thessaloniki is known for and had such a knowledgeable guide that gave us great insight into the city and Greek life. Definitely recommend! It felt like visiting a friend
We were gifted this tour as a birthday present and I'm so glad we were. The lovely and insightful Pantelis led us through so many great spots in the city, and it really felt like we got to know the vibe of the local culture. Even in the brutal heat, we still had a great time walking around the city.
Thank you so much for joining the tour, all the best for your future travels!
Pantelis was very knowledgeable about the history of Thessaloniki. He took us to several nice locations to taste local foods and coffee. He was sympathetic to the heat of the day and tried to keep us in the shade while he talked.
Was great! Thank you for everything, it was a pleasure for us to be with you!
Our guide Pantelis was the BEST! We had such a great time and this guide was so generous with is stories, historical facts, knowledge of the food we had and he took us to amazing places with good service and hospitality! We tasted the best desert ever... Trigona Panoramatos. You made this a day we won't forget!

We loved this tour! Our small group of 4 learned all about Greek food and culture while walking around the city. Highlights includes Bougasta (Greek breakfast pastry) with sweet and savory fillings and soutzoukakia (spiced fried meatballs with lamb and beef).
We loved it being with you too, thank you & all the best!
My guide, Pantelis was a great guy, very knowledgeable about street food, local and the regional area. I was interested in not just the street food but also the local history and culture. Pantelis very easily handled my questions and pointed out many interesting historical area and gave me the cultural perspective of the sites, their restoration and in some cases why they weren’t restored. The food was excellent, especially since I now have had hotel food and other tourist presented meals. Pantelis was very generous with his time to show me around. I should also say that my flight was delayed and Pantelis adjusted the time of the tour to accommodate since it was a solo tour.
Thank you, David! It was a pleasure for Pantelis, too. All the best!
Sophie was an amazing tour guide. I had lots of laughs with her. She was very knowledgeable and I liked the spots she took us toand I enjoyed the food we tasted. I had a fantastic time.
Thank you so much, Claire! Sophie had a great time too, it was a pleasure! All the best
This was a great tour! Pantelis is the kind of guide who instantly makes you feel comfortable. While my tour ended up being essentially an private tour, even if the group were larger, I’m sure he’d still make it feel completely personal and bespoke. It was the perfect way way to get oriented in the city while trying truly authentic Greek food. Nothing felt touristy or rushed. Later that night, when I mentioned the places we visited / food we ate to local Greek friends, they all agreed it sounded exactly like how they grew up eating! If you want an authentic and fun introduction to the city that feels more like hanging out with a friend than being on a tour, I highly recommend this one!
Thank you so much for joining and also for the time taken to write the review! All the best & greetings from Greece!
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.
Was a pleasure for us as well, all the best & thank you very much!
