This was the best thing we did in Thessaloniki. The knowledge and information was so interesting we also got to go places we never would have on our own. Giorgos was a lovely guide and beautiful person. Wish we had time to do another tour with him.
Giorgos met me at the designated place even though I was a little late. He assured me we had time despite my trouble getting a taxi to come up to Ana Poli. During the 2 hours we were together, I found him knowledgeable, easy to talk with, and intent upon giving me a good experience of St. Paul’s time in Thessaloniki. I really liked how he spoke about Paul’s humanity. I came away with a new appreciation for Paul which enriches my life going forward.
The tour was full of interesting details and facts about the Apostle as expected and our guide was really friendly and available.
Giorgos is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. He immediately established a positive rapport with his group. We were thrilled to learn many interesting facts about the apostle Paul things we had never heard even in church before, as well as facts regarding the church and Silas and Timothy. We will never forget this tour, and the experience Giorgos brought to life for us.
Giorgos was amazing, so knowledgeable and led us through this historical biblical walk bringing the Apostle Paul life. He was engaging and the tour was wonderful!
Giorgos was wonderful - so personable and informative. He is a guy doing exactly what God created him to do! We left feeling inspired and with great insight into Paul and his journey. He even texted follow up articles, book recommendations, and a few pieces of information (like pin drops for things to see) as we continued along our journey beyond Thessaloniki. Amazing guy, great tour!
Excellent, knowledgeable, guide. I learned a lot from him. His insights are wise and appropriate. He is spiritually gifted. I highly recommend him as a guide to others.
Our excellent and knowledgeable guide Giorgos, took us through the most interesting, historical and beautiful parts of Thessaloniki. I really enjoyed this tour. He was very thoughtful about planning stops for the necessary, finding us shady places to sit while he spoke, and making our street crossings safe. His Biblical knowledge of Paul in Thessaloniki was very thorough and accurate. He also shared findings from archeology to add extra information.
Bravo to Giorgos for a wonderful and inspirational tour following the footsteps of Paul through Thessiloniki. As we walked through different spots in the upper city, Giorgos shared from his Biblical and historical knowledge of Paul's life and his bringing the Gospel message to Thessiloniki. He was able to bring out little known facts about Paul's life which are backed up either by documents and/or tradition. By giving us the cultural and historical background Giorgos helped flesh out some common misconceptions about the Apostle Paul's journey. His story-telling style brought the Biblical narrative alive. He painted a picture of Paul as he truly was, a devoted follower of Christ.
My husband and I thought the tour with Giorgos was fantastic! It was the highlight of our visit to Greece. I wish he had been our guide for the other locations we visited. Giorgos' knowledge and passion were evident as he shared significant insights into the life of Paul and his visit to Thessalonica on his second missionary trip. The pace of our tour was just right. He was engaging and expertly wove in relevant Bible passages, allowing time for questions and further discussion. Giorgo clarified what are known facts and what is tradition or speculation. It's apparent that Giorgo does his homework, continuing to investigate new discoveries and incorporating them into the tour. I walked away with a greater appreciation for Paul and his ministry and how Thessalonica (and Greece) fits into the spread of the gospel in the world. I would highly recommend Giorgo's tour and will personally seek him out for future visits to Greece. Thank you, Giorgo!!!
Perfect way to start a trip to Greece. Giorgos has a unique blend, of warmth , spirituality, and academia. I highly recommend.
The tour with Giorgos was absolutely fantastic and truly impressive. He explained and guided us through so much fascinating information about Paul’s second missionary journey and his companions in a very engaging and enjoyable way. Not only did he take us through the footsteps of Paul, but he also answered all of our questions in great detail, always supporting his explanations with historical facts and references. We are from Germany but also speak Italian, and Giorgos was kind enough to explain everything impressively in Italian as well. An absolute must if you are visiting Thessaloniki and the surrounding area. I’m already looking forward to the next tour with him!! Efharisto!!! 🙏🏼
It was a great experience. Giorgors is a really nice guide with a lot of knowledge. We learn a lot of inside information about Apostle Paul and his visits of Thessaloniki and his relationship to Thessalonians. It was very interesting and educational . I strongly reccomend!
The guide was exceptional. He was courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and we give him scoring beyond what you list as possible.
This was the highlight of my trip. George was very kind and knowledgeable. He asked you questions, challenging you and making you think with your heart. He was so engaging and enjoyable I want to take His other tours. His calming voice was reassuring.
Georgia’s was so knowledgeable and an amazing guide! WOW!!! I highly recommend you do this tour. It’s one of a kind!!!
This was the best experience! The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and led us on an unforgettable tour of Thessaloniki. He gave time and space to tell the details of Paul’s travels in Thessaloniki and give time for us to enjoy the spaces we visited. We would highly recommend this tour and would even do it again if we have the chance to go back to Thessaloniki since there are so many details and so much to take in, I know we’d learn/rememeber more if we could do it again!
This is EXACTLY the tour my family traveled to Thessoloniki to experience.
This tour was amazing. I learned so much about St. Paul in Thessaloniki as well as so much about the history of this area. The tour guide was kind and friendly and went out of his way to give extra info based on my interests. I highly recommend this tour!
This tour is the most comprehensive tour of St. Paul in Thessaloniki! The guide is fabulous and also very personable! His love for Thessaloniki and sharing the stories of Paul and his companions in multiple journeys to Thessaloniki is contagious! He also related the history in Thessaloniki to St. Paul’s other journeys in Corinth, Philippi, Berea, and other cities. He showed us the important places, but also gave us the cultural context of what was happening! It was a perfect way to start our time in Thessaloniki!
Giorgos is a fantastic tour guide who brings the journeys of Paul the Apostle to life with remarkable historical depth and enthusiasm. His understanding of Paul’s travels and the early church adds a richness that makes every moment meaningful. My wife and I asked plenty of questions throughout the tour, and Giorgos always responded with either a clear explanation or a well‑placed cliff‑hanger that kept us fully engaged. His storytelling, warmth, and expertise made the experience truly memorable. I highly recommend Giorgos to anyone visiting Thessaloniki, and I’ll be sure to contact him again when I return. Until next time — Pame!
A great two hour focusing on the history of the Apostle Paul in the region. Giorgos was knowledgeable, kind, and personable. You can tell he really loves his work. We learned a lot about Greek history! I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Biblical history.
This was one of the best tours we did on our trip to Thessaloniki! Girogos was very knowledgeable and went through the details in Paul's letters to the Thessalonians as well as what was recorded in Acts on the tour. He also connected it to the Thessaloniki/Greek history of the time. We learned info that really helped us understand more the context/history of the time when Paul wrote his letters. Girogos also took us to some amazing spots we wouldn't have known about on our own. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Thessaloniki!
This was a great tour! Giorgos was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Apostle Paul and his life. Highly recommend!
Giorgos was very knowledgeable about the ministry of Paul and the history of Thessaloniki. We truly enjoyed our tour.
Wonderful tour!! Our guide, “George” was very biblically literate and offered insights into Paul’s coming and goings in Thessaloniki! Very knowledgeable and made Paul’s visit to Thessaloniki come alive!! A lot of information culturally and biblically!! Fascinating! We truly appreciated his passion and knowledge!
We got the inaugural “The Apostle Paul story in Thessaloniki tour” with George and strongly recommend it! We had a terrific time and learned a great deal about Paul, Thessaloniki, and the epistles. George was great and even provided some recommendations for the remainders of our trip, specifically Philippi and Kavala.
Had a very nice tour of Thessaloniki. Giorgos knew so much to tell in an incredibly fun way. You sometimes feel like Paul and then with all the historical stories it suddenly became a whole for us. Fantastic, we are going to book it again.
