    Fantastic experience!

    Michael planned an amazing day for us! From start to finish he selected very special stops based on what we were interested in. And when we surprised ourselves by wanting to spend more time relaxing at the beach - after telling him we were more likely to want to see more places instead of linger - he adjusted with smooth grace, a smile and absolute encouragement. We were able to make every decision based on our specific group and he never ran out of amazing ideas and fantastic places we never would have found on our own! Do not hesitate! You will be glad you booked this private tour!

    This was our favorite...

    This was our favorite tour of our entire time in Greece! Michael was a passionate historian and natural host. He made everyone feel comfortable as he showed us beautiful Thessaloniki and took us out of the touristy areas and let us experience the town as a local. We highly recommend this experience.

    Amazing day!!!

    We just returned from an incredible vacation in Thessaloniki, and we can’t recommend it enough! We had the pleasure of booking four amazing trips with Michalis over the course of our four-day stay: 1. **Mount Olympus** - Exploring the majestic beauty of Olympus was a highlight of our trip. The stunning landscapes and rich history made it an unforgettable experience. 2. **Wine Tasting** - We enjoyed a delightful wine tasting at a beautiful winery in the region. The scenery was breathtaking, and the wines were exquisite! 3. **Footsteps of Apostle Paul** - Following in the footsteps of Apostle Paul was both enlightening and inspiring. Michalis shared fascinating insights that brought the history to life. 4. **Thermal Baths of Bazaar and Edessa Waterfalls** - Relaxing in the thermal baths and visiting the stunning waterfalls of Edessa was the perfect way to unwind. Our four days with Michalis were simply amazing, and we are so grateful for the experiences he provided. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the trips he offers next time! Thank you, Michalis, for making our vacation so memorable!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your beautiful reviews!!!

    Unforgettable Experience in Thessaloniki!

    Since our recent cruise had very limited time in Thessaloniki, we wanted some activities that could get the most out of it. We decided to follow the path of Apostle Paul on a religious tour, while our friends wanted to indulge themselves with wine tasting along with Michalis. He didn't hesitate to tell us that his wife, who leads the tastings, was available, and we promptly booked both. This tour was informative yet at the same time inspiring, and allowed us deeper into the rich history of Thessaloniki. Meanwhile, our other friends spent a great afternoon at the winery, which had a stunning view and excellent wines. Both exceeded expectations, and we left with great memories and further interest in seeing even more of what Thessaloniki has to offer. If time had permitted, definitely our choice would be more adventures with Michalis and his team. Thank you so much for making our visit so special!!

    The best choice in Thessaloniki!!

    we are a family of 4 and we were looking to find how to spend our week of holidays in the city of Thessaloniki pleasantly and we ended up with this option. We chose the tour of the beautiful beaches for our first day to relax and we had a great time and we asked Michalis if he can make us on our 2nd day the trip to Olympus where we had a great time on our 3rd day to take us to the places where apostolos Pavlos was amazing and on our last day we chose the thermal baths for relaxation. we made 4 trips with Michalis in 4 days we had an amazing time he is a very experienced guide and tour guide in any we went. when we come back we will definitely do the rest of the trips he does for sure. thank you very much!!!!

    Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Thessaloniki.

    How much does Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert cost?

    +

    Prices start at $457 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Thessaloniki usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Thessaloniki is not rushed.

    Is Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Thessaloniki, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Thessaloniki can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Thessaloniki and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Thessaloniki within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Thessaloniki?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Thessaloniki experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gastronomic Food Tour in Thessaloniki with a Chef, Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom, Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay !. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Thessaloniki?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Thessaloniki?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Custom Tours in Northern Greece with a Local Expert?

    +

    Included: Snacks; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Towels - ombrella. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
