Stunning, a true piece of history you can see intact and about in place. Easy paced tour with detailed route and easy to see everything.

Efi is very professional and we covered a lot during our 4 hour tour. Visited several unesco sites , monastery , churches, city wall . We even enjoyed delicious triangle cream sweets exclusive to this area. Efi also was kind enough to assist with our transport to airport for the next day. Thank you.

Efi was an amazing tour guide! So much knowledge and engaging personality. She asked us what we would like to emphasize in our tour, and accommodated our interests. She was friendly and shared lots of stories as well! highly recommend!

Responsive and knowledgeable guide Efi made the history of Thessaloniki come alive for us. Promptly met our party of six as we debarked from our cruise ship and allowed group members to ask dozens of questions as we toured--especially about the Jewish history of Thessaloniki.

Wow! What can I say? Efi was an amazing guide. We were a party of 6 , visiting Thessaloniki for 2 days and all interested in the rich history of the Jewish people who were once the majority in Thessaloniki. The tour began at the Holocaust memorial, commemorating the 50,000 Jews from Thessaloniki who perished in the Holocaust. Efi took us through the streets, sharing her incredible knowledge, insights, stories and tales. Her warm and engaging manner, coupled with the detailed information she shared, made for an amazing few hours. The synagogues and Jewish museum were closed that day. Efi had advised us of that when we pre booked the tour, as it was a special day - an annual Never Again march (and speeches) commemorating the day the first train left Thessaonkibto Aushwitz. Our tour finished in time to join the march. At the end of the tour, Efi gave us a book she had written and I can’t wait to read it. We have booked many tours on our many travels and Efi was amongst the very best tour guides! I would give her ten stars!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour by Efi. She made arrangements for the transportation based on our needs and was prompt in answering our enquiries. She was very clear in her explanations and helped us meet our objective of visiting biblical sites. Thank you, Efi!

My wife, Kathleen, and I visited Greece for the first time last month. After doing some research on the web, I came across Efi Kalampoukidou, and read many wonderful reviews. I then contacted Efi to let her know we were interested in tracing Paul's missionary travels and learning about the Jewish history of Greece. Though Efi is based in Thessaloniki, she helped us with everything we wanted and needed for our time in Greece – tour guides, ground transportation, and very helpful recommendations. The three days we had her as our guide in Northern Greece were fantastic. And the guides we had in Southern Greece all know Efi and respect her. Efi is personable, responsible, knowledge, sensitive to the needs and desires of those in her care and treated us like family. If you are ever interested in touring Greece, Efi is the guide you want.

Really enjoyed the Tour with Efi. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and took us to some places that I am sure we would have missed on our own. Thoroughly recommend.

Efi took us on a Jewish tour of Thessaloniki and was an excellent and extremely knowledgeable guide. We got to both see the sights and learn about the rich history of the Jews in Thessaloniki and their fate in the second world war as well as modern Jewry in Thessaloniki (including a trip through the market!). She was considerate about the weather and pace. We highly recommend Efi as a tour guided and this particular tour.

After reading some rave reviews of Efi, we were fortunate enough to book her directly for a day long tour of Thessaloniki and the Royal Tombs of Vergina with our two 16 year old granddaughters. We specifically contacted Efi after reading reviews about her expertise relating to the Jewish Heritage of Thessaloniki. We were not disappointed and came away with a great deal of knowledge about a part of history that is unfortunately little known by most people. As a native of this area, Efi was able to give us first hand insights about the history and culture of this region of Greece that is “off the beaten path” for most visitors to Greece. We concluded our day with a fascinating tour of the relatively recently discovered and opened Royal Tombs of Vergina, which is almost as amazing as the tomb of King Tut in Egypt. You can book Efi directly on her web site:Efiguide.com.

We visited Philippi, Kavala and Amphipolis with Efi in July 2023 and were very impressed with both the flawless execution of the customised itinerary and her ability to share with us key relevant information pertaining to the sights/sites. A big thank you to Efi for making the trip a truly special and memorable one!

I went on a private guided Jewish Heritage Tour of Thessalonika today. My private guide, Efi, was not only a wealth of knowledge, but she was able to show me a kaleidoscope of the long history of the Jews of Salonika. She was very patient and inspirational as she explained the history of her people. (I could never have learned all that she was able to share with me from a book.) As we visited each site and each monument, she .made the history of thdeJews of Thessalonika come alive. I highly recommend Efi for her expertise and for having madde my visit to Thessaloniks that much richer. Thank you, Efi!

Absolutely fascinating. Eli was passionate about the content and clearly a subject matter expert. If Jewish history in Greece interests you, there can be no better experience.

Efi was a very helpful, friendly and knowledgable guide who went out of her way to make sure that we felt welcome upon our arrival in Thessaloniki. You definitely get the feeling that she has a passion for history and loves her city. Highly recommended!

Vicky gave us an excellent tour of the relevant Jewish sites as well as some of the sites of general interest. She is very knowledgeable about the Jewish history of Thessaloniki and was able to place all of our surroundings in the context of the rich and (ultimately) tragic Jewish history of the area. It was also fascinating to hear her perspective on the state of past and present Jewish life as a native Christian from the area. This was a very worthwhile experience.
