The guided tour was really interesting and gave a great insight into the history and politics of the city. I have a much better appreciation for Thessaloniki after this tour. Our guide (I can't remember her name sorry!) was professional and although there were some sombre details that were important to share, she tried her best to make other parts fun and interesting. I strongly recommend!
