Awesome tour in the food capital of Greece - Great tour blending delicious food and interesting history. We've been on many food tours in different countries and this was one of the best. The food is great, but mostly it's Panagiotis... he makes the tour a step above. From what I read and what we experienced, it seems the tour contents must change from tour to tour... if we could, we'd be happy take it again and see where the day takes us!

Not to be missed! - Our local chef, Panos, and guide to Thessaloniki’s food history and its ties to this multicultural city was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable. I learned so much from the time spent talking about the influences of geopolitics and the peoples and economies of the area to make this a well-deserved UNESCO City of Gastronomy.

The best food tour anywhere - This has to be the very best food tour anywhere! We felt very privileged to have had such a knowledgeable guide, Panos - a chef and culinary expert with deep interest in Thessaloniki history, to show us the tastes of the city. The tastes he introduced us to were not the usual tourist foods but the local specialties that few visitors would be exposed to. Along the way he also provided narrative about the cultural history of Thessaloniki and how the history has impacted the cuisine. We felt very fortunate. Highly recommended.

Professional chef and historian. Absolutely recommend, also for solo traveling a great option. - Today was an amazing experience of Thessaloniki, the food and the history of the city and area. The food was absolutely incredible, and even better because of all the stories and information behind it. Between the food stops we have been learning about the history of Thessaloniki. The guide is extremely well knowledged about all the history and really knows how to entertain multiple people in a group. Also the guide was very flexible for all of us (with food preferences).

Food and history in a captivating way - Great tour with a guide who really knew Thessaloniki. Pauses with tasting where the guide, Panagiotis Karafoulidis, told about the coffee, food and restaurants that could be places where he ate as a child oxh that still had the same owners / staff. Panagiotis Karafoulidis also gave us the history of Thessaloniki in a way that was easy to keep up with. Highly recommended.
