Discover Olympus & Dion: Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki

Tamar_R, Oct 2026

Relaxing and slower paced day

A fun day with a wonderful driver, Vasili! It was nice to to see some sights that were not as crowded as some of the other stops we had made in our cruise. Our driver, Vasili, was great and knowledgeable. We asked to stop at a Greek coffee shop on our way back to the ship and he found the perfect place for us! Would highly recommend!

Full-Day Trip to Meteora from Thessaloniki

Colin_T, Oct 2026

Do this tour. You will be glad that you did.

This tour is well worth the long day. We were transported in comfort to Meteora with commentary along the journey about the locations we were passing through with history, legends and current interesting details. Good rest stops along the way with great views of Mount Olympus were a bonus. At Meteora our lovely guide gave good suggestions about how to enjoy the monasteries, and made sure we were all safe and sound. Then lunch at the restaurant on the way back was absolutely outstanding and good value given the great quality of the food and drinks served. It is a well run good value tour that I gladly recommend.

Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom

Stephanie_K, Oct 2026

The tour guide,...

The tour guide, Evangelia, was very knowledgeable about not only the sites we visited but also about Thessaloniki and other archaeological sites. She gave us plenty of information and at the sites and museums we did on our own which I found better as we went at our pace.

Alexander the Great Private Tour at Pella and Vergina

Alexander the Great Tour to Pella and Vergina

We had a wonderful day with Dimitris travelling out to Ancient Pella and Vergina. The site of Pella was very interesting, and the nearby museums had excellent displays and the tombs of Vergina were amazing. Dimitris was an excellent driver sharing his knowledge and suggesting how to get the most of our day. He made our day very enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour with Dimitris.

Philippi and Kavala Private Apostle Paul Tour from Thessaloniki

Jeannine_M, Oct 2026

Excellent walk in the footsteps of St Paul

Vasili was on time to pick us up at the hotel. If you stay in Thessaloniki it’s about an hour’s drive to the Ancient Phillipi. We chose not to have a licensed guide which was fine as an audio guide is free for walking the ruins. Afterwards we went to the Baptistery of St Lydia. This is an amazing chapel with paintings of St Paul’s acts as recorded in the Book of Acts. A must is getting the book in the gift shop as it explains both the ruins, the chapel and the importance of Kavala. After lunch in Kavala we went back to Thessaloniki. If you have any faith/religious beliefs/education this is a must on your journeys.

Thessaloniki: Bus Trip to Dion & Mt Olympus National Park

Colin_P, Oct 2026

Nice tour....

Nice tour. The "hiking" portion is pretty short, though it has a lot of steps up and down (only an issue if you have very poor fitness or mobility issues). The "lunch" activity was pretty late in the day so we ate lunch in Dion in the park and hiked a bit of the gorge while every one had lunch. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly

Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki to Meteora

Sheryl_P, Sep 2026

Absolute must see Meteora!

We had a marvelous day with Yannis! He has a wealth of knowledge about the area. We toured two of the five monasteries (though he was not allowed to go in with us as he is not licensed to guide here. Somewhat strange as we paid an extra $300 for a guided tour.) The monasteries are beautiful inside and out. The settings, high on the rocks, is amazing. Yannis then took us to a great restaurant for local food. We had a fantastic day!

The Best Thessaloniki Shore Excursion with Port Pickup & Drop-off

Michala_O, Aug 2026

Customer service

First I want to say this excursion is everything! I actually missed it .. my fault .. but in trying to get me back to them from the wrong the location the operator running it helped way beyond. She was incredible and kind and never made me feel terrible for my mistake. Other cruisers went and said it was fun and lots of great information. The customer service is above and beyond!

Thessaloniki: Greek Cooking Class, Market visit and Lunch

Mindy_R, Jul 2026

Great Tour

Really enjoyed our cooking class. Konstantina was an amazing guide. Really enjoyed walking through the market to get the food and talking. The cooking class itself was really fun and informative. Being in a restaurant with no one else there was really cool. Everyone was so nice, and the food was delicious.

Pozar Thermal Baths and Edessa Day Trip from Thessaloniki

Brittany_R, Jun 2026

My favorite tour in Greece so far.

I've traveled throughout Greece multiple times and this is BY FAR my favorite ever activity! If you loce mountains, alpine landscapes, places like Austria and Slovenia... then you will love Pozar. I recommend bringing your own towel, or have some cash on you, since towel rentals are cash only. Otherwise, definitely book this! I can't remember the guides name (archaeologist) but he was so friendly and helpful.

Meteora Experience: Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki

Ken_D, Jun 2026

An Amazing “Must Not Miss” Tour

Our full day tour to Meteora from Thessaloniki was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Our day started with an on time pick up from the Electra Palace hotel in downtown Thessaloniki. Our driver, Antonis Pouliasis, who speaks excellent English, greeted us warmly and welcomed us into his spacious and comfortable Mercedes van. During our drive to Meteora, he informed of history and geography of the area and pointing out areas of interest along the way. He made stops for photo ops and bathroom and snack breaks along the way. Once we arrived in Meteora, he personally guided us through two of the most significant and beautiful monestaries: St. Stephen’s and the great Meteoron Monestary. He shared insights throughout each tour. After many photo ops, he dove us to a tasty lunch spot in nearby Kalabaka before we headed back to Thessaloniki using a different but scenic route from which we could view Mount Olympus from the other side. We strongly recommend Antonis as a driver and a tour guide. He made our tour comfortable, informative and memorable.
