Excellent tour - An excellent tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made every moment enjoyable. I tend to have a lot of questions about the places I visit—their history, culture, everything—and she was patient and attentive, tailoring the experience right from the start based on our interests. She really ran with it and brought the city to life for us. Our driver was equally wonderful—kind, funny, and patient. By the end, I felt like I could not only live in this city but also navigate it confidently.

The Best - Very educational and entertaining. Driver and guide both have outstanding focus on guests. Many highlights: history we didn't know; church, towers, other structures; lunch at local restaurant with no other tourists; they were very helpful with my handicapped wife.

Great overview of Thessaloniki - Maria was our spectacular guide. She made the city come alive for us. We saw the Byzantine Walls, Galerius Arch, The White Tower, The statue of Alexander the Great, The Church of Holy Demitrious, Vlatadon Monastery, a place of peace and home to several white peacocks (and Peahens). The city is huge, the second largest in Greece. This was a day well spent.

The tour guide, I... - The tour guide, I believe her name was Barbara was wonderful. We had a problem when we got off the ship as we could not find the van-we actually walked right past him. He was inside the van, there was no ID on the van and he was not holding up a sign. It was not a good start to the day but was rescued by the outstanding tour guide.
