Konstantina was awesome

Published on Dec, 2024

Konstantina was very very friendly. She took us to some traditional, cute spots around the city to eat. She was also very knowledgeable on her history about Thessaloniki and Greece. We were very impressed by her historical knowledge. Pro tip: do NOT eat breakfast prior to this tour. You will eat A LOT.

Such A great experience with our guide and native Margarita! She gave a great overview of history and Greek culture and the cuisine - oh my!! Every single stop was informative and delicious! We could not have asked for a better guide or tour and it was well worth the money and time. Margarita was friendly, personable, and went above and beyond!

Excellent introduction to local tastes and markets.

Constantine (Megas) was an excellent guide. Gave some interesting information and shared the tastes of her home town. Don't eat too much in the morning before you take this tour, there's plenty to eat on this tour. This is a nice relaxed stroll around the markets so most people would manage it easily. Amazing that there are so many markets so close together. Well worth the time spent.

Delicious, educational tour

Eleni was a wonderful guide. I'm so happy we took this tour early in our stay as it gave us confidence to keep trying foods that were new to us. I especially loved the tour through the market and having the chance to talk to the shopowners. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and we were able to try many new foods. There were many delicious foods but I think the bougatsa was my favorite.
