Fantastic tour! - My dad and I had an absolutely fantastic time with Giannis! He showed us parts of the city we never would have known to explore otherwise and gave us a truly local perspective on this wonderful town. We would do a tour with him again a thousand times over!

Private walking tour with Tasos - Tasos was very knowledgeable and friendly. He showed patience when asking many questions. A good sense of humour and adding local anecdotes made the trip very valuable. A good start of our long weekend in Thessaloniki.

Great knowledgeable experience - We had been in Thessaloniki for a week and seen a lot of places but didn’t know anything about them. We took a three hour with our guide, Tasos who not only educated us but took us to some “off the beaten path” places and gave some great advice on where to go and what to eat. Thanks!

Regret this choice - Our guide was nice, but should not be a guide. Her English was weak, and she was not able to relay the significance of the sites we were walking past. With only half a day in Thessaloniki, we regret not doing the $6 self guided tour instead of the $150 “local guide”. By contrast, we did a “with locals” tour in Skopje which was excellent.
