Hele goede gids!!
Alexandros weet echt alles over de geschiedenis van Thessaloniki en heeft ons echt alles laten proeven waar Griekenland bekend om staat! Waar je als toerist langs loopt, gaat hij naar binnen en als afsluiting krijg je van allerlei tips waar je nog heen kunt gaan!

Education meets fun
The tour was very fun but at the same time we learned a lot about the city. Alexandros was very polite, knowledgable and fun to speak to. He showed us all the best spots and as we asked to see the markets, he tailored the tour so we could do that. At the markets we tried some food and the best olives from this area. We would recommend the tour to everyone.

Fantastic tour with Alex
Alex provided a great overview of Thessaloniki's complex history. With our limited time in port, we were able to gain an understanding of this fascinating city. He even took us to the perfect place to enjoy some delicious baklava and greek coffee. He was friendly and engaging throughout our tour and responsive to our interests and questions.

The Professor
Alex covered so much ground in the history of the city--no easy task. The complexities and fascinations of how Thessaloniki developed and thrived and truly is the gem of Greece were made so clear. Like a professor, he was armed with pictures and a notebook! We would not have been able to appreciate so much without Alex.
