Alex is a very professional and great guide. He customizes your trip to your wishes. We were already in Thessaloniki a year before, but we did not really like the city at that time. Alex showed us true hidden gems of Thessaloniki: beautyfull churches, excravations and more. He explained the history of Thessaloniki, starting with Alexander the Great.
After this trip, we loved Thessaloniki! We highly recommend Alex for your trip!

About local
A warm and friendly guide
Alex was a wonderful host. I booked a private tour with him; and he easily adapted his visit to my interests. I was really interested in history so we focused on the monuments, but Alex also has much to share about local culture, food, and wine as well. If I had more time, I would certainly do one of the culinary tours he offers. Alex is warm, friendly and a wonderful guide for any adventure in Thessaloniki!

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.

A super tour of Thessaloniki
We really enjoyed our morning with Alexandros! His enthusiasm for this beautiful city is infectious, and he shared with us its fascinating history, whilst showing us some of the most important sites and some hidden ones that we would never have found. And some delicious food on our way too.
