All Thessaloniki Tours & Excursions in 2026

Absolutely brilliant tour in Thessaloniki with Lisa our guide and John our driver. Weather was awful but the tour was so interesting and Lisa's English was very good. One couple on the tour wanted a meal and to go shopping so Lisa stayed with them and John took the rest of us back to the ship.

Well worth the time. Our Tour guide, Iannis, was excellent. He did a great job guiding us through the tour sites, providing a great deal of information covering the history of the city. He was knowledgeable and very personable. He made an otherwise dreary, somewhat rainy afternoon, very enjoyable and informative. Highly recommend.

The meeting point was centralized in the city but about a 25 minute walk from the cruise terminal. The Pozar baths are beautiful and very relaxing. It cost 5 Euros each to get in the baths. Then we traveled to a very cute village called Orma and had a delicious Greek lunch (not included in the price). Lastly we travelled to Edessa where there is a beautiful waterfall and lots of scenery including old towns and water wheels. We made it back in plenty of time to walk through the rest of the town and then get back on our ship! Would absolutely recommend!

Basically it’s a fantastic day trip for those who love history but in this case, it more about Archaeological finds. The museum, recently opened is simply incredible. I learned so much about the Macedonian kingdoms. The exhibits and recovered marble are beautiful. The building is light filled! I would like to thank Eva, for conducting a great tour, so friendly! Further to this, as a qualified archeologist, she is very knowledgeable and informative and added so much to the trip.

Our family had an exceptional experience with Demetris as our driver and tour guide in Thessaloniki. From start to finish, he provided a seamless, informative, and enjoyable day exploring Pella and Vergina—two remarkable sites connected to Alexander the Great and his father, Philip II. Demetris picked us up promptly and drove safely and comfortably throughout the entire journey. When I made an error with the pickup address, he handled the situation with patience and professionalism, ensuring everything stayed on schedule. He even brought an extra booster seat for our six-year-old on short notice, which demonstrated his thoughtfulness and commitment to our comfort and safety. His guidance at the archaeological sites and museums was invaluable. He provided helpful tips on navigating exhibits efficiently and pointed out fascinating landmarks along the way, enriching our understanding of Greek history and culture. As a Thessaloniki native whose family has lived there for generations, he shared insightful stories and historical context that added depth to the experience. Demetris also proved to be a wealth of knowledge about local cuisine, drawing on his background as a former restaurateur. He offered excellent recommendations and ensured we enjoyed a delightful snack break by reserving a table and helping us avoid long lines. What stood out most was his kindness toward our daughter. He made her feel included throughout the day, engaging her with warmth and patience that made the experience memorable for our entire family. Demetris consistently looked out for our best interests and went above and beyond to ensure we had an enriching and stress-free tour. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Thessaloniki and looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring guide.

It was incredible experience. We had lack to have a private tour. Only we a couple . Tour was very professional very well prepared. Chef know his city, history, architecture. We enjoyed this tour very much. As I told to Chef- "The tour was not good -it was fantastic"

Konstantina was an amazing guide. She made sure we were on time and made it to our destinations safely. The tour encompasses the unique flavors of Thessaloniki. Due to my dietary restrictions, she made sure to double check each restaurant to make sure I was able to enjoy the food. A new restaurant was even swapped into the tour to cater to my needs. Though it was just Konstantina and I, she was a great conversationist, and has a warm personality, it felt like I was dining with a friend.

Best excursion of our entire cruise. We were picked up at the port by Yanis, a pleasant and knowledgeable guide. It was nice to see the countryside along the drive, Yanis answered our many questions. There was a comfort stop at a lovely coffee shop along the way. The monasteries are a must see. Afterwards, we ate lunch at a local restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! It was a long day but definitely worth it. We would highly recommend Yanis.
