Overview

The Greek port city of Thessaloniki is known for its magnificent Byzantine and Ottoman-era monuments, but many travelers never explore beyond the historic sites. On this tour, discover the city through the eyes of a Thessaloniki local and enjoy a personalized itinerary custom-made for you. Your ‘Lokafyer’ guide is no typical tour guide—instead, they will show you around the city like a friend; take you to the museums, markets, and neighborhoods that they know and love; and give you tips on where to eat, drink, and shop in the city.

Great knowledgeable experience

James_G, Nov 2023

We had been in Thessaloniki for a week and seen a lot of places but didn’t know anything about them. We took a three hour with our guide, Tasos who not only educated us but took us to some “off the beaten path” places and gave some great advice on where to go and what to eat. Thanks!

Very knowledgeable guide...

Dina_C, Sep 2023

Very knowledgeable guide who was able to make the history easy to understand. He was very friendly and went out of his way to make us feel welcome.

We had a nice tour and got to meet a very nice local man. Only criticism is I wish he would have put together an itinerary for us beforehand. He did ask us what sites we wanted to see so it would have flowed better.

Super Rundgang durch eine quirlige Stadt

Ulf_G, Aug 2023

Giorgos hat uns an unserem Hotel, zu einem Rundgang durch Thessaloniki, abgeholt. Wir erfuhren viel über die Stadt und ihre Bewohner. Die Atmosphäre war ungezwungen und freundschaftlich. Wir können diesen Rundgang nur empfehlen. Danke Giorgos

Eine sehr gute Gelegenheit, um Thessaloniki kennenzulernen!

Lisa_H, Sep 2021

Sehr schöner und informativer Rundgang durch Thessaloniki! Unser Guide war sehr gut vorbereitet und ist jederzeit auf unsere Wünsche hinsichtlich der Route für die Tour individuell eingegangen. Zusätzlich hatte er weitere Tipps für Aktivitäten in der Stadt herausgesucht.

Hallo Lisa, Es freut uns zu hören, dass die Erfahrung genau das war, was Sie gesucht haben und dass Sie einen tollen Tag mit unserem Lokafyer hatten! Danke, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, eine Bewertung zu hinterlassen. Wir werden dies auf jeden Fall mit ihr teilen. Lokay hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Reisende mit Einheimischen zusammenzubringen, die sich für ihre Städte begeistern, so dass die ganze Erfahrung so ist, als hätte man einen Freund, der einem die Stadt zeigt. Wir hoffen, dass die Reisenden unvergessliche Erinnerungen und eine bleibende Erfahrung mit nach Hause nehmen, und es ist schön zu hören, dass Sie beides erlebt haben. Lokafy bietet Stadtführungen in mehr als 300 Städten auf der ganzen Welt an, und unsere globale Gemeinschaft von Lokafyers spricht viele Sprachen. Wenn Sie also bereit für Ihre nächste Reise sind, kontaktieren Sie uns - wir helfen Ihnen gerne bei der Organisation! (Ich entschuldige mich für jeden grammatikalischen Fehler, da ich einen Online-Übersetzer verwende) Gute Reise. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Vinita Lokafy.com
