My wife and I had an amazing time with Alex! He shared so much knowledge about Thessaloniki and took us to some great local places to try delicious food. Alex was very friendly and generous with his time giving us other suggestions of places to eat locally and also making a reservation for us at a great little restaurant. I highly recommend Alex and will definitely book him again next time I’m in Thessaloniki. A fantastic experience

Thessaloniki is a wonderful city. It has a rich history shaped by the Empires who have fought over and controlled this strategic port over thousands of years. All have left their mark as seen in the historical sites across the city, the architecture and importantly - the food. A great story needs a great storyteller and our guide Alex performed that roll perfectly. His breadth of knowledge was impressive, but the depth of his knowledge was outstanding. This tour wasn't a case of dashing from point A to B, ticking boxes on a tourist trail. Alex is a man who will happily discuss topics of interest at length, illuminating periods of history with names, dates, places, facts and figures. Just what we wanted. Our history tour was interwoven with food stops along the way - Bougatsa, pies and pastries, olives and olive oil, steamed mussels from the Thermaic Gulf with a glass of chilled Greek wine - just wonderful. Alex is easy to get along with and has a great sense of humour. We really felt like we made a new friend in Alex. We would definitely book a tour with him again and would 100% recommend him to those thinking about a guided tour of this great city. 10/10 - Thank you, Alex

Alessandro was absolutely amazing and wonderful from the start when I first booked the city highlights/food tour of Thessaloniki with him. He was so quickly responsive to all my questions. He went above and beyond to even help me try to find other activities for my group of 11. When we finally met him, he was such a delight, so kind, and so very knowledgeable about Thessaloniki and Greek history. He is very passionate about what he does. He is such a kind and generous and amazing human being. The tour itself was wonderful! Learned so much history about Thessaloniki and the food was just amazing and so very delicious! I must add in that he even went as far as helping one of the people in my group figure out her transportation for a completely different tour the following day, which was with a different company. He is a very giving, kind, passionate person. I would highly recommend any tour with Alessandro! I believe I have found a new friend that hopefully we can remain connected for many years to come. Thank you Alessandro for such a wonderful experience in Thessaloniki! It was definitely my favorite Greek city all because of you!Alex was wonderful!!!!

Our recent food tour experience in Thessaloniki, Greece, led by Alex, was a wonderful experience! My husband and I were on a trip to celebrate my birthday and decided we wanted a local guide to show us around. From the moment we started on the tour, it was clear that Alex was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his city. One of the highlights of the tour was tasting the local pastries and coffees. Alex's insights into the history and significance of the food, how the coffee was prepared, and why it was done that way added an extra layer of appreciation. The olive oil tasting was another standout moment of the tour. The girl leading the tasting was a real pro. She helped us learned the art of properly tasting olive oil while she and Alex shared stories and knowledge with us. Throughout the tour, Alex's wealth of knowledge about the city's history, culture, and food shone through. However, what truly set this tour apart was Alex's genuine warmth and hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure that we not only sampled some wonderful local foods but also immersed ourselves in the vibrant spirit of the city. His enthusiasm was infectious, making the entire experience all the more enjoyable. In conclusion, our food tour experience in Thessaloniki with Alex was nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the culinary treasures of this enchanting city. Thank you, Alex, for an unforgettable journey through the flavors of Thessaloniki! Fantastic Tour Experience with Alexandros!

We had SUCH a fabulous day with Alexandros in Thessaloniki. It was Mother's Day, and he went above and beyond to make the day extra special... Including a secret flower shop stop for my son to surprise me, and an extra stop at a final restaurant for mezzes and fabulous live music . Even without all that, the tour was wonderful, with great historical background to complement / explain the food and cultural influenced. We happily ate our way through Thessaloniki, and made not just great memories but a new friend. Thank you, Alexandros (and thank your mom for letting us keep you late!)Amazing tour with Alexandros

From the very first moments of our culinary and history adventure in Thessaloniki, it was clear that our guide, Alessandro, was going to provide an unforgettable experience. With a warm and engaging personality, Alessandro welcomed us into the heart of this vibrant city with open arms and an infectious enthusiasm for its rich heritage. Alessandro demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge, not only about the food we were tasting but also about the history and culture that shaped Thessaloniki's palate. What set this tour apart was Alessandro's ability to personalize the experience. He was attentive to our preferences, dietary and pace. Furthermore, Alessandro provided invaluable insights and recommendations that extended past the confines of the tour. They equipped us with the know-how to explore Thessaloniki's food scene and rich history, making our entire stay in the city that much more delightful. In summary, our food and history tour with Alessandro was a highlight of our trip to Thessaloniki. For anyone looking to taste and experience the soul of the city, a tour with Alessandro is a must. We left with our bellies full and our minds enriched. Five stars simply aren't enough to rate this exceptional experience!Thessaloniki History and Food

We saw everything that we could imagine wanting to see in the town and were completely stuffed when we were done! And the food was soooo good. You will not regret going with Alexandros.

Alexandros met three of us promptly at an easy location. Then we went on to get great information, and eat amazing drinks and food in many charming and lovely spaces in Thessoliniki. We were able to connect with locals, learn about dishes and drinks that we then were able to recognize later in our trip. We even tried a random fruit that we thought looked interesting in the market. Alexandros was a fantastic and patient guide. It was the perfect start to our trip in Greece, and we were sad to say goodbye to Alexandros and Thessoliniki. Go on this tour. You will not regret it! Fall in love with Thessoliniki cuisine

We recently had the pleasure of joining two fantastic tours led by our incredible guide, Alex. From the moment we met, Alex's warmth and friendliness made us feel right at home. His extensive knowledge of Thessaloniki's history and culture elevated our experience, allowing us to appreciate the city's charm in a whole new way. On our first day, we embarked on a delightful 10-tasting tour. Alex guided us through the bustling markets and quaint streets, introducing us to the exquisite flavors of Thessaloniki. He handpicked local delicacies and shared fascinating stories behind each dish, making the experience both delicious and educational. The second day, we ventured into the hidden gems of Thessaloniki. Alex's passion for his city shone through as he revealed lesser-known treasures and breathtaking viewpoints. His keen eye for detail and engaging anecdotes enriched our understanding of the city's history, transforming our journey into a memorable adventure. In summary, both tours were nothing short of amazing, thanks to Alex's genuine enthusiasm, expertise, and hospitality. We wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone looking to explore Thessaloniki in an authentic and unforgettable way.A Great Thessaloniki Experience with Alex!

I had a great private tour with Alexandros. While the focus was the incredible food of this city, Alexandros was able to weave in commentary about the history, architecture, and culture of Thessaloniki. Alexandros was easy to talk to - fluent in multiple languages - and accommodating. He is very well prepared and shared lots of recommendations with me. Looking forward to a future tour with him.

Passionate, organized and well-prepared whilst the same time flexible with personalized tour requirements. Alex set the stage at the start of the tour where we met next to the instagrammable umbrellas of Zongolopoulos, past the statue of Alexander and the magnificent White Tower before making our way into the old city. Using pictures to build historical frames from the time of Cassander through the little known Galerius Caesar, the rich Byzantine period and the Ottomans. Thessaloniki is one of the most beautiful cities we have seen - and Alex by bringing in dollops of local colour (and local food samples - the olive tasting in the old market was amazing!), made it come alive. Alex, like most of the guides we have met in Greece, is highly qualified with two masters degrees in tourism management and spares no effort. Keep up the great work, Alex. May you continue to prosper. Alexandros the local Greek Italian guide

Alex was amazing! We scheduled with him scant hours before our tour - after our booked tour guide did not show up in the a.m on our last day in the city! We booked the culinary tour which he offered to customize and we asked for historical highlights on our journey. Alex overdelivered to our delight. His picks of culinary stops were delicious & appeared authentic. His breadth of knowledge was amazing. His delivery was on point - he didn't drone on and on, he provided pertinent bullet pointed information, he covered the important items, and he was just fabulous. Also, Alex provided dining/drinking recommendations for the rest of our time in Thessaloniki. We went to the rooftop bar, the restaurant for dinner, as well as his dessert spot and had a lovely time!

From the moment we met him, his warmth, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture shone through. Alexandros didn’t just show us the famous landmarks, but shared captivating stories and little-known facts that really brought Thessaloniki to life for us. His passion for the city is contagious, and he made sure we felt connected to the rich history, the local traditions, and even the vibrant modern life of the town. What stood out most was his attention to detail and his ability to tailor the tour to our interests. Whether it was recommending local dishes, guiding us through ancient ruins, or taking us to the market and chatting with the locals, Alexandros made sure every moment was special.

When he learned we were genuinely interested in history he went out of his way to give us an amazing overview of the history of Thessaloniki which was fascinating. His knowledge was brilliant and it was a really interesting tour. His passion for his home town shines through - its clear he loves the city himself which made learning about to much more fun! The food was such a surprise. We expected small tastings and were delighted to experience some of the most authentic Greek food in huge portions! All the vendors along the way were so friendly and welcoming. A truly unique thing to do and something I'd recommend to anyone. Thanks Alex for making our day in Thessaloniki really memorable :)Fantastic!

The ability to tailor the tour accordingly shows the broadness of his experience and deep familiarity with the city & history.

Our recent historical tour experience in Thessaloniki, Greece, led by Alex, was a fantastic experience! My husband and I were on a trip to celebrate my birthday and decided we wanted a local guide to show us around. This was our third day in the country and our second tour with Alexandros. After the previous tour, we knew we were going to have another wonderful day! We saw more of the city than we ever would have seen on our own. We learned so much about the history of Thessaloniki. Alex never skipped over a single detail and was quick to answer any questions we had. I don’t think we could have come up with any questions that he wouldn’t have had the answer to. We were fortunate to be there on Easter weekend. Alexandros made sure to teach us about the unique traditions and history involved in Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations. He showed us where to experience the beautiful ceremony they have at midnight before Easter Sunday. I was able to share that experience with my 95-year-old grandma through a video call. It was deeply moving and something we never would have experienced if not for Alex’s guidance. Throughout the tour, Alex's wealth of knowledge about the city's history and culture was incredible. However, what truly set these tours apart was Alex's genuine warmth and hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure that we not only learned about the history, but truly discovered the spirit and kindness of the people of Thessaloniki. His enthusiasm was infectious, making the entire experience all the more enjoyable. In conclusion, our tour experiences in Thessaloniki with Alex were nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend Alex as a guide to anyone looking to explore the historical and culinary treasures of this enchanting city. Thank you, Alex, for an unforgettable journey through Thessaloniki!
