Thessaloniki was a... - Thessaloniki was a surprise to us - it is underrated among the places to visit in Greece . Rich in history and amazing tourist spots , thanks to our local guide Tassous for taking us around and educating us about the many historical landmaraks, statues and ruins of the city. A very educational private tour, highly recommended!

Fun tour of Thessaloniki! - We had a wonderful small group tour in Thessaloniki with Yiannis as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the city’s history and culture, and made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Yiannis had a great sense of humor and kept the group engaged throughout. He made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. Highly recommend this tour!

What a great experience! - Bill (our driver) and John (our tour guide) were both amazing. Their kindness, sense of humor and deep knowledge of the city made for a wonderful day of activities. There was a national strike the day of our tour and John and Bill made certain to avoid that chaos and keep our great trip on schedule. I can’t say enough great things about the two of them and the overall experience.

Perfect One-Day Tour - We had a wonderful time! Our guide was very knowledgeable on the City and its history. He ensured that we saw all of the key city sites in the 1 day we had. We would not have been able to traverse the City on our own. We learned a lot and had a great time! The driver was spectacular on the small City streets. I’m so glad we did this tour!

Treat yourself to a private tour - We enjoyed our private tour with Vasilis. He dropped us off at all the must see highlights of Thessaloniki. He waited patiently for us to complete our explorations(about 60 minutes). Thessaloniki was one of the ports our cruise ship visited. Vasilis enabled us to get a taste of this gorgeous city. We had a blast!!! Thank you doctor 😊

Great tour - Really solid tour. The guide, Stella, was friendly and super knowledgeable—took us to all the major highlights around Thessaloniki and even showed us a hidden spot that most tourists would probably miss. The driver, Apostolos, was great too. The car was clean and comfortable. All around a smooth, worthwhile experience. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting and wanting to learn&see more.

A Great Experience & Value! - We just finished our guided tour of Thessaloniki and I can’t recommend it enough! Stella was extremely knowledgeable, outgoing, and well-spoken—she brought the city’s deep history to life in such an engaging way. Our driver- Apostolos- was fantastic, navigating everything so seamlessly. This tour offers so much value for what you get to see and learn. It’s an absolute must-do if you want to truly understand the roots and richness of Thessaloniki.

Bespoke Thessaloniki highlights in comfort of an a/c vehicle - A very comfortable and succinct tour for those who don’t want to waste time finding all the interesting sites, and would like to do so in comfort (Greece in summer can get quite hot). The tour was tailored to our needs, with willingness to accommodate breaks and points of interest. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and funny, and the van was spacious and clean. We loved the experience.

Good but dry at times - Overall, the tour in Thessaloniki was good and covered interesting sites, but the presentation felt a bit dry at times. Unfortunately, it was hard to hear the guide while in the van, which made it difficult to stay engaged, and I even found myself nodding off occasionally. With clearer audio and a bit more energy in the delivery, this could have been an excellent experience.
