Great guide, great value, interesting city. - We boked our tour the day before we went and it was no problem. Our guide, Fania, was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and with very good English. Two hours was enough to get an overview of some of the most important sites in lower Thessaloniki, and gave us enough of an overview to tour the city at our own pace, seeing what interested us most, over the next couple of days. The tour didn't cover upper Thessaloniki (the old town) so make sure you do that too. The tour was also very good value. One thing to be careful of, when we booked, the website gave one location for the meeting point but when the overnight confirmation email came, it gave a different location (the White Tower) which was the correct one. Overall, highly recommended.

Nice tour in Thessaloniki! - I arrived in Thessaloniki by cruise ship and joined this walking tour, starting right in front of the White Tower, it was a fantastic experience! The guide was friendly and shared so many interesting stories about the city’s history. We walked through ancient ruins, beautiful churches, and busy markets, all within a few hours. I loved learning about Thessaloniki’s mix of cultures and past.

Great tour, great guide! - Taking this walking tour in Thessaloniki with our guide Fenia was amazing! We started by the White Tower and then explored so many interesting places. Fenia was really knowledgeable and made the history of the city easy to understand and fun to listen to. I enjoyed seeing both the ancient sites and the lively local areas. Even though my time in Thessaloniki was short, I felt like I got a real taste of the city.

Memorable walking tour in Thessaloniki - Despite starting with some rain, our walking tour in Thessaloniki turned out to be a delightful experience. As the weather improved, we were able to fully enjoy the sights and atmosphere of the city. Our guide was excellent, sharing interesting stories and facts about every spot we visited, keeping the group engaged throughout. Even with the damp start, his energy and passion made the tour enjoyable, and once the skies cleared, the city felt even more welcoming. It was a well-organized and enjoyable tour, thanks to our outstanding guide.

Exploring Thessaloniki with a friend! - My friend and I had a fantastic time on our walking tour of Thessaloniki! Even though we didn’t stop to eat during the tour, our guide gave us great recommendations for local spots to try afterward, which made us even more excited about Greek food. The tour itself was fun and informative, taking us through beautiful areas of the city we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience enjoyable.

Good tour - The tour went along the historic sites of Thessanoliki. Kostas explained us the venues nicely and with enthusiasm. The tour guide arrived over 10min late while 14 people were waiting. That could be as an improvement point.

Unprofessional and cancelled in the middle of the night - After almost arriving at the meeting point I found out that they canceled in the middle of the night 02.30. Unreliable and unprofessional without any message. This way you can't find another alternative tour in Thessaloniki because you have to pre-book everything.
