Combine a walking tour of Thessaloniki with one of the best things to do in the town, tasting authentic local delicacies. Try unmissable Greek foods such as traditional "koulouri" (circular bread), bougatsa (pastry with various fillings), pittas, stuffed sandwiches & also local sweets.
Meet at the harbour of Thessaloniki and then head to an old bakery - a hidden gem that stands for three generations, for the first stop. Sample some typical Greek breakfast pastries and snacks and then head to the open market of the town. Through little streets and alleys full of history, you'll arrive at the "Kapani" (open from Monday to Saturday) a vibrant, colourful and historic place. Once you'll finish strolling the market, taste some very original street food and have the chance to hear some interesting stories from your guide. A memorable tour not to be missed that mixes culinary treats with culture!

Sophia was wonderful, she took us to hidden gems and gave us a political and historical tour through a feminist lense as well.fascinating. And the food at every stop was perfection.

Sophie was an excellent tour guide, and i had a great time despite being the only person on the tour!
She expertly navigated us through the streets of Thessaloniki to some of the tasiest spots in town. She explained the multiple cultural influences in the city on the food, markets, and architecture, and gave some background on the different neighborhoods in the city. I did this tour on the tail end of my trip, but it would be a great way to start your trip off and learn the lay of the city.
Obviously the food was amazing, you get to try ~5 local specialties (including coffee) which are all so tasty. I was so full that I didn't need to eat anything for the rest of the day! Don't eat anything before this tour, and you're guaranteed to have a great time.

The opportunity to learn both about the culture and food of Thessaloniki was wonderful. Leo was incredibly knowledgeable about his home city and the food experiences were authentic and delicious. Highly recommend.

This food tour was really amazing. I don’t ever do food tours and Sophie was really great. I was lucky on this day to have just me on the tour and was able to ask so many questions, which Sophie was a wealth of knowledge. There was so much I did not know. The food, the people, the guide, just amazing. I would not have found these places or foods if I didn’t do this tour. Thanks Sophie. It made the world of difference.

This tour is like walking around in Thessaloniki with a friend who knows the best places to buy food and can tell you everything you want to know about the city. I am very happy that I booked this tour and I recommend it to everybody. The only thing to keep in mind is to arrive hungry!!! Thank you very much for the insightful tour and all the excellent food! I even went back to some of the shops to bring home souvenirs:)

Was an awesome experience. Leo was a super cool guide. We learned a ton about architecture and the history of Thessaloniki. We tried a bunch of different foods with some extras for later. We’ve done a lot of food tours and this one we were at long about the whole next day.

We booked 2 tours and both were amazing. The Street Food Tour with Akis was filled with wonderful conversations around the history, culture, and day to day life in Thessaloniki while eating the delicious local foods of Greece. Akis is very knowledgeable and a treat to be with. We also visited Meteora with Pascalis, who is also very knowledgeable of the history of the monasteries. He is a wonderful guide providing lots of information and colorful conversations along the way to Meteora. I highly recommend you pick Salty Soil for any of your tour needs. They are the BEST.

They don't understand how to deal with cruise passengers. We repeatedly told the guide the when the cruise was leaving. They kept saying it was ok. At the end we ended up running back to the port and had to miss the last stop and couldn't finish the 2nd to last. The guide spend way too much time walking around for nothing. He brought us to stores, we stood in front and he talked about how amazing it is, then walked on. In the end, we ate at standard places, nothing different and ignored the more unique places of Thessaloniki.
