Interesting museum and synagogue! The Jewish heritage of the city is a must of thessaloniki! Please ask for Ioannis. He is a brilliant guide and funny person!
Thank you for your 5star review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your tour and you had a wonderful and amazing experience! We hope to see you again soon !
Our guide was there on the pier waiting for us. The vehicle was clean and there was bottled water. Our guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the topic of our tour, and provided great insight and history. These are the reasons why a guided tour is better than a self guided tour. He was able to answer all our questions and was very easy to have a conversation with. I would recommend this tour to anyone I know going to Thessaloniki.
Mr. Michael, thank you for your kind review. We are happy to hear that your guide helped you to make the most of your tour and that you enjoyed Thessaloniki. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
We were able to secure a tour with Panagiotis Kosmidis for a group of 4 and it was excellent. He greeted us at the port with a driver, nice clean car, safe driver, took us to everything we wanted to see and more with history at each step. Panagiotis is the best guide and we will return and book again directly with him. Can't recommend him strongly enough!
Thank you so much for your feedback and your recommendation. We are glad you had a good time in Thessaloniki with your guide and we would be happy to accommodate you in the future!!
We had the absolute best time on a private Jewish heritage tour of Thessaloniki with Mr. John! From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in for a treat. The local guide John is not only super knowledgeable, but he’s also incredibly warm and easy to talk to—it felt like exploring the city with a friend who just happens to know everything about its fascinating history. He took us to all the key spots, like the Monastirioton Synagogue, the Jewish Museum, and the Holocaust Memorial, sharing stories and insights that made the history come alive. What made the tour even more special was how personalized it was. John made sure everything was tailored to our pace and interests, and he had some great tips for where to grab amazing local food afterward (you have to try his recommendations!). Our driver Apostolos was also very kind and professional! If you’re thinking about exploring Thessaloniki’s Jewish heritage, do yourself a favor and book a tour with igohellas. Thanks, John, for an unforgettable day!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience and we hope to welcome you again soon!
Since my family has Jewish roots, I enjoy exploring cities with rich Jewish heritage around the world. I had the opportunity to visit Thessaloniki, often referred to as the "Jerusalem of the Balkans," and discovered its deep Jewish history with iGoHellas. Their team was exceptional, and I highly recommend John or Ioannis, the licensed tour guide, who did an amazing job bringing the city's heritage to life. If you're interested in learning about Thessaloniki's Jewish past, I can't recommend them enough!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience and we hope to welcome you again soon!
Memorable and meaningful tour. Knowledgeable and accommodating guide. We got a good overall feel of the city
Thank you for the kind words and 5-star rating! Hope to see you again soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Jewish History Tour with Kostas as our guide and Dimitrius as our driver. Kostas is not only a professional tour guide, but also works in the Ministry of Culture, and thus fills his tours with a wealth of knowledge and multi-cultural perspective. Would certainly recommend! Ευχαριστούμε!!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled you had a great experience on the tour! Παρακαλούμε!
