Although it was the first tour Eleftheria had done she not only showed us lots of places and gave us lots of information she also introduced us to some of the culinary delicacies of the city of Thessaloniki. We were forthright with some of the questions we asked but she wasn’t shy of replying. Had a wonderful time and she also gave us lots of suggestions for us to do with the rest of our time there.

Our lovely guide, Eleftheria, provided us with historical and cultural insights while we toured Thessaloniki. We saw the highlights of the city, both modern and old. The walk was well paced. We recommend this tour to first time visitors unreservedly.

Eleftheria showed us some of the UNESCO sites but also places where locals meet. She picked us up at our appartement and brought us local breakfast, so she had our hearts already. We also tried one of the best sweets ever. Because of the really high temperatures (35 - 37 degrees) she also made sure that we do not have to walk too fast or too much in the sun. We enjoyed the tour with Eleftheria a lot and can recommend it.
