Pavlos was an amazing tour guide. We experienced a wonderful tour seeing several notable artifacts and archeological sites, and Pavlos did a great job explaining everything and answering our questions. We felt we got a good overview of the history of Thessaloniki and highly recommend others to participate in this tour. He was extremely knowledgeable.
Great tour. Our guide was friendly, helpful and spoke good English. We learnt a great deal about the city, and its history and culture, spending three hours visiting landmarks, Roman remains and beautiful Byzantine churches.
The local guide lady (Aleksandra Tilla - Not sure of her last name) was excellent - So knowledgeable and friendly guide, Just Superb! But I had one issue with the meeting place description on Viator email, which says: Hagios Demetrios Hotel wearing a black hat - This description confused me quite a lot! There was no hotel by that name around the church!
Pleasant tour with a wonderful guide. A city that deserves a visit with time and someone to explain its diverse and rich culture.
We had a fantastic tour and saw a lot of the city. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He was also flexible and customized the tour based on sights we wanted to see.
Christos did a nice job customizing the tour based on our interests. Not too short and not too long! We’ve done two Viator tours so far and they’ve both met and exceeded our expectations.
Almost all sites are shut on Tuesdays. You failed to inform us about this. Your guide says that she has already informed you not to take bookings for a Tuesday Kindly refund our payment immediately
