Fantastic personal walking tour. Our guide was called Thanos. He messaged us a few days prior, and on the day. He met us at our hotel. He tailored out tour to our preferences, but he also made several recommendations for food and drink which turned out to be spot on - away from the main tourist areas. We got an awful lot from this personal tour, so id highly recommend doing this than a tour group, its worth the extra money.

This was a fun way to see parts of Thessaloniki that you might not otherwise be able to see while getting a little exercise to work off some of that vacation eating. Our guide Thalis was so kind and accommodating to our group which included 2 children. He was able to laugh off one of their meltdowns while keeping everything on track and on time. We would highly recommended this excursion to anyone visiting the area!
