What are people saying about Thessaloniki

Jonathan_T, Oct 2026

A worthwhile experience...

A worthwhile experience to see the majestic Meteora. Everything went smoothly and the guide and driver were great. Sit on the left side if you want to see Meteora on approach. Anyone with moderate physical condition can do it. Lunch at Meteora Panorama restaurant was good and service was efficient, essential for a bus load of tourists. Bring snacks as the shop at the pit stop is overpriced.

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.

Gastronomic Food Tour in Thessaloniki with a Chef

Kevin_D, Oct 2026

Enjoy the experience

A fabulous day of learning the eating ways of Greeks and Thessaloniki folks. Different to other food tours we have done, but very informative, especially when it came to the cheeses. Wonderful cheeses. Our lunch was tasty and traditional and ended a great day.

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 Mount Olympus Experience: Myths & Hidden Places

Bethany_S, Sep 2026

Fantastic tour of Mount Olympus

Our tour with Michael was perfect! Communication ahead of time was helpful and clear and the pickup was flawless. Michael took us to beautiful places and talked about the history and myths about each one. His love for the area is evident and we enjoyed his enthusiasm. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.

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!

Best of Thessaloniki: Tour by Local

Liz_C, Aug 2026

Do this tour!

Our private guided tour has been the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Vasileia, was knowledgeable and attentive. You could tell how passionate she was about history. Plus she was born and raised in Thessaloniki! She was flexible when we needed to stop for coffee (jet lag was tough!). We really felt like we got everything out of this tour! Highly recommend!

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!

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.

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.
