From bougatsa to tsiporou, welcome to Panos' Thessaloniki - Panos is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, warm and a great advertisement for the city that he so clearly loves. His tour provides a personal and informative dimension to understanding this fascinating city.

Exceptional Tour! - People truly make the difference, and Panagiotis (Pan) absolutely does! From the moment we met him, it was clear how passionate and thoughtful he is. He took us to places around the city that carried deep family history, especially through the food we experienced, which made everything feel authentic and meaningful. Pan is incredibly knowledgeable about Thessaloniki’s culture, history, and traditions. We loved learning about local foods and having thoughtful conversations about Greek Orthodox faith. These discussions added a depth to the tour that we did not expect and truly appreciated. One moment that especially touched our hearts was when Pan gave our son a gift after learning he is studying to be a priest. That act of kindness perfectly reflects the kind of person Pan is—generous, sincere, and deeply caring. This was more than just a tour; it was a genuine cultural and personal experience. We cannot recommend Panagiotis highly enough!

History with all the best ingredients. - What an excellent experience! We started with mountain tea which set up the first lesson on Greek foods and a trip to the herb market. Throughout the day we had insightful commentary on the history of Greece. Did someone say “History in Six Glasses”? We learned about Greek doughs and pies. We sampled local cheeses and salad ingredients. The finishing touch was a light meal with a nice Greek red wine. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, one we would recommend as the “starter”.

Five stars - wonderful experience - This was a fabulous food tour. Panos was very knowledgeable not just about Greek and international cuisine but also about the history of Thessaloniki. The tour was well paced and the food thoughtfully spaced and ordered. A great tour if you love food but also want to combine it with some history.
