Thessaloniki City Tour
Anna was our guide. Very friendly and knows her history. She's patient when we needed to make a few stops. Many sights to see. Well done Anna. I recommend this tour

Our guide, Anna, did a...
Our guide, Anna, did a fabulous job navigating the city and explaining its’ rich history. When it started raining, Anna pivoted well, and found ways for us to still experience and explore Thessaloniki despite the weather. When asked questions, our guide had a wealth of knowledge to pull from and was able to accommodate requests to adjust the ending of our tour, so that is ended near the port of our ship.

Thessaloniki History
Alexandra was amazing at showing us Thessaloniki history. Her explanation was with care and kindness. We could see she has a lot of passion for the city. Her recommendations, where to go were fantastic! Highly recommend this tour!

Alexandra was very sweet and loves what she does. A suggestion would be to use a microphone as it was hard to hear at times and a clearer list of places to visit would be helpful.
via Viator
We learned much about the historical past of Thessaloniki and how it transformed over the centuries.
Tour was great. The guide had deep historical and cultural knowledge. We saw many different areas of the city as well as some ancient ruins and buildings. Would highly recommend.

Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour ): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Thessaloniki.
How much does Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour ) cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour ) take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour ) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 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 Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour )?
+
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 Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour ) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour )?
+
Around 6 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Thessaloniki : Private Walking Tour With A Guide ( Private Tour ) 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.
