Great tour - Hara did an amazing job with the tour. It felt like we were just meeting a friend who lives in Thessaloniki. The food was excellent, and the Storytelling was top-notch. She knew the city's history and could put all of the food in context. I also really appreciated that even when we were taken to shops to see the different kinds of wares and try things, there wasn’t any uncomfortable pressure to buy something from that store. Highly recommended!
