What are people saying about Thessaloniki

Gia_E, Aug 2026

Absolutely tops highly recommended

First of all, you should know you’re not just going with a Chef! You are going with an educator and his historian. He was absolutely amazing. I’ve been a stage four cancer patient for two years and he showed me some very good things to incorporate into my diet. I am so grateful that I selected this tour. It was my first food tour and it did not disappoint. I’m still dreaming about the frappe!!!!!! if you’re even considering this go go go

Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki to Meteora

Stephanie_M, Aug 2026

Great trip

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and is a must-see for anyone visiting. Every view was more beautiful than the last, making the experience unforgettable. Our tour guide, Yanis, was fantastic. You could truly see his passion for the site in the way he shared its history and stories. His enthusiasm made the experience even more meaningful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience incredible views and learn from a guide who genuinely loves what he does.

Discover Olympus & Dion: Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki

Shayne_S, Jul 2026

Our tour guide, Bill, was...

Our tour guide, Bill, was exceptional. If it was not for Bill, the tour would have been just okay. He was very accommodating and always open-minded. He was above and beyond from start to finish. As for the tour itself, this is something I want to tell the tour owner that I was a little disappointed with the lineup of the tour stops. It was not much to see and who in the world would want to go see museums after museums? The ancient city of Dion was okay, but I would definitely skip it and maybe keep just one museum stop. I would also suggest starting from the Holy Monastery, adding Olympus lagoons and Litochoro tour, keep the Enipeas Waterfall stop. Thanks to Bill to still make this tour fun for us. Again, if it was not for him, I would not rate this experience 5 stars.

Excellent for the price and experience

Great views. The tour guide was great, provided lots of of information. Great driver, nicely organized trip. The lunch top little expensive, but break stop has better prices on the souvenirs compared to other stores. Would not recommend for babies or toddlers

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.

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

David_A, Jun 2026

Great Overview of Thessaloniki

Our tour guide Vasilia was so wonderful. She was very knowledgable. The tour took us to the oldest monastery and oldest Church (St Dimitris). And we saw views of the city along the old wall. We also visited the white tower and the statue of Alexander the Great. We also enjoyed seeing the Roman Forum. Then our tour guide took us on a walking tour through a market. We truly loved feeling like a local.

Thessaloniki: Bus Trip to Dion & Mt Olympus National Park

Lydia_W, Jun 2026

Wonderful Experience

This was a wonderful trip that I would highly recommend. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable, always open to answering questions or giving recommendations. It was a good mix of bus time with some hiking/walking so you didn't feel like you wasted your day sitting on a bus but you also weren't too worn out from the hiking. Mount Olympus was beautiful and we were able to take a quick swim, though the water is very cold. My friend and I chose to save 10 euros and not enter the Dion Archeological Site (as we travel a lot and have seen plenty of ruins that start to all look the same) but we only had an hour there so it was a good spot to rest and eat the lunch we packed. Overall, good value for money.

Annie, Jun 2026

Great Pace, Great Guide, Great Day

Fantastic tour — very well organised, with timings that felt just right for each site and attraction. Our guide was genuinely insightful and shared interesting, useful information throughout the day. Nothing felt rushed, and we had ample time to enjoy each stop. We chose not to have lunch at the designated restaurant and instead grabbed a quick bite, which allowed us extra time at the Royal Tombs — something we really appreciated. Meeting points and times were always clear, making the whole experience smooth and stress‑free. A well‑run tour that made the day both enjoyable and memorable, definitely for those interested in history- a must go!

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.

Well, worth the time.

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.

Food tour Thessaloniki

Will_N, Mar 2026

Loved this tour!

Our guide Tonia was a true pro and you can tell she knows very well the local food scene since she used to work as a chef in the area. We visited all the best spots that only locals seem to visit and every stop was more delicious than the last one. We were extremely happy that we booked this on the first day in Thessaloniki especially since we received a follow up email with lots of great recommendations on where to go next. If food is your passion, then this is the perfect start for your trip!
