Thessaloniki Street Food Tour with a Local Guide

We were surprised to be only two of us, my wife and I, and not a big group. Sophie takes only very small groups and it adds so much added value ! Actually, she knows a lot about history of Thessaloniki and Greece, but it is not what we retain first. Talks were rapidly oriented to the actual situation of Greece, her way of living and her feelings about her surrounding. This interaction was very much appreciated and if food was very good, it is more the places where we had it that brought us a different view of this town. We had a very ggod time and the chance to talk with a local person was so helpful to understand what is going on. Thank you Sophie and all the best to you !

This was a wonderful tour and Sophie our guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable . We went to places that we'd probably never discovered and tried food we would never had ordered ..highly recommend this tour ..
Only downside that not enough information given about the meeting point so to the person who organises this, please be more specific as to where you meet..

Firstly, the instructions for meeting were totally inadequate. Although I arrived at Loforos Nikis an hour ahead there was no sign as to the meeting point. I phoned but there was only an answerphone machine. After the start time of 10am I received a call asking me if I was doing the tour? I was told that a SMS had been sent twice but had not been received. If there is no confirmation of receipt then assume the message has not got through!. I did finally meet up with the group after pedaling like crazy back to a place I'd been twice before that morning. Sophia, the guide, looked rather cross at me and gave me no apology even though the other people on the tour had had difficulty finding the meeting point. After a while, Sophia warmed up and i enjoyed her company throughout the tour. She had a great sense of humour. Her knowledge of food was limited and it might have been helpful if she had asked us (only 3 of us) what kind of food we liked so that she could have ordered things according to our preferences. Overall, I enjoyed the tour despite the early stress.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sophie. She showed us many interesting districts and we shared food experiences. One hint for people taking this tour...don't eat breakfast beforehand!

This is a must do food tour for first time visitors to Thessaloniki. Even though I was the only person on the tour it still went ahead as planned. Sophie was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the local food and culture scene and blended it with an almost city walking tour finding places not known to many tourists. Highly recommended - oh and the food was amazing!

My tour with Sophie was so interesting, informative and relaxed. It felt like I was hanging out with a good friend. Sophie is extremely knowledgeable about the history, architecture and food scene of the city but more interestingly, about the current issues with the country and people. I'm all about being real so that was extremely refreshing and made for great discussion ! Although the dishes she shared with me could be found everywhere round the city, she purposely chose places where they made the pastries in house.

Sophi was passionate about the food and clearly a subject matter expert. If yummy food is your thing, there can be no better experience.

This tour was easy to book and the company provided easy meeting instructions and contact information. Our guide, Leo, was knowledgeable about both the food and the history of Thessaloniki having grown up in the area. We tried delicious local street food including multiple bougataa, local coffee, and a lamb and pork dish similar to a meatball among other delights. Additionally we walked around the historic district of Thessaloniki and saw a variety of its food halls. The tour was a great experience!

We took the street food tour in Thessaloniki with Leonidas. The tour company was very easy to reach and it made it easy to find the tour by giving the exact location of the meeting spot down to the map coordinates that linked to google maps on my phone. Leo was a local guide knowledgable about the food, culture, and history of Thessaloniki. We had a variety of bourgasta, a variety of sesame pastries (the name escapes me), traditional coffee, and ended with a lunch at Bombiaiai where we had a meat dish, fries, marinated tomato’s and local cherries. We also walked through a number of agora’s and saw some historical sites in the old town. The food was delicious and we learned a great deal about the city. We highly recommend taking this tour!

The tour was amazing. My family and I were picked up from the hotel by the tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, had interesting facts and stories to share. Also added a lot from his personal life as he grew up in Thessaloniki. It was ver special!
