What are people saying about Thessaloniki

CareyS_W, Oct 2026

Thessaloniki food tour

Panos is very passionate about the gastronomy of Thessaloniki. He was kind and patient with all those on the tour with food allergies and preferences. He was knowledgeable not only about food and food culture, but also about history and architecture. He took us to authentic places run by locals for many years. Whenever possible, he took us to places where the farmers who produced the food were running the shops. I highly recommend him!

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

Full-Day Trip to Meteora from Thessaloniki

Ian_H, Sept 2026

Brilliant visit to Meteora

Fabulous trip to visit 2 of the 6 Meteora Monasteries , we went to Varlaam and St Stephen. Enough time given to visit both . Excellent guide C C who gave out a lot of useful information during the trip and was friendly. Comfortable full size coach with great music played low enough to be in the background . By prior arrangement with Ammon I left the trip at the meal stop on the return at Kastraki , stowing my 10kg bag in the hold, so I could spend a further two days exploring this unique and beautiful area ...if you have the time I highly recommend this...Ktel have a coach you can book online via Trikala to Thessaloniki that departs late afternoon for example .

Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom

Ian_H, Sept 2026

Excellent.

Excellent day trip . Informative guide : we visited Vergina first then Pella reversing the itinerary to avoid bottlenecks caused by anticipated roadworks on the return which worked very well ; just a 45 minute journey back from Pella . Plenty of time to view everything without being rushed : on this Ammon trip thankfully there was no unnecessary "stocking filler" ie wasted time swimming or restaurants ...Just the history and culture which for me is perfect. 16 on the trip . Recommended.

Thessaloniki: Walking Open Market Food Tour and Tasting

Samantha_C, Sept 2026

Solid overall experience

This food tour is well worth the cost. It may not be quite as comprehensive as some of the ones in other major cities but we had a wonderful time and still ended up so full from all of the treats. We did this tour when we got off the cruise ship in Thessaloniki and it was a perfect balance of history and info about the city and getting to try local treats.

Alexander the Great Private Tour at Pella and Vergina

Fionnuala_Q, Sept 2026

Absolutely fascinating!...

Absolutely fascinating! The Royal Tomb Museum is beautifully curated & very accessible. Don’t miss the media presentation - it’s a wonderful insight in Macedonian culture. The drive there is an interesting insight into rural Greek life. Thoroughly recommend Dimitri - excellent in every way.

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.
