This was a very nice tour of Thessaloniki, seeing many sites like the white tower, city walls and tower, basilica of St Dimitri, Roman forum and others. Nice walking tour at the last part which ended in the shopping district by the sea.
Perfect Cruise Excursion

The tour was great! The guides were communicative the day before and worked with us to maximize our time in the City. They were waiting just outside the ship! Our local guide was very knowledgeable on the City. We saw all of the key sites and learned a lot of history along the way! Perfect tour for a cruise ship excursion.

Maria was our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the city’s history. She kept it relevant to today’s happenings. The only thing that some tourists might object to is her own views being expressed.
City tour was OK, guide was enthusiastic, but city doesn’t have much to offer

Not much to see in Thessaloniki - we went to White Tower, Acropolis, St. Demetrius church, the old Roman Market and Aristotle square. The guide, Barbara, was good and had good knowledge of the city, the Greek language and history. She was enthusiastic about showing us the city and tried her best to show us a good time.
City tour - Great
