Vivacious, stylish Thessaloniki is Greece's Northern cultural capital of all things chic. Balancing out its trendy vibe are the many visual reminders of the city's rich depth of history - from crumbing Byzantine walls to charming historical neighbourhoods. Take a private Thessaloniki tour and discover the best of this stunning city with a friendly local guide.

Thessaloniki's most enduring landmark is the White Tower, perched along the city's café-lined waterfront. You won't be able to miss the enormous Agios Dimitrios, built in the 5th century in honour of the city's patron saint, and believed to be the largest church in Greece. Your guide will take you for a wander through Upper Town (Ano Poli), an enchanting neighbourhood of pretty traditional houses set on winding, peaceful alleyways.

At the end of your private Thessaloniki tour, your guide will be happy to recommend a great spot to enjoy the city's regional cuisine and nightlife. Enjoy yourself in this fun-loving Greek city!
Tour Guide Legal Requirements
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Greece requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).

Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals permitted to conduct tours in all sites and museums within a city. Licensed guides are required in those areas where the local authorities state that one of them is mandatory.

To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities. report error

All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer.
