History, Culture, & Markets
We absolutely loved touring Highlights and Hidden Gems in Thessaloniki with Alexandros. He is an excellent guide providing insight into the history of Thessaloniki. Time flew right by as we visited monuments, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the markets and their historical significance, restaurants and food ideas. We enjoyed every minute and we’re grateful to Alex for the beautiful introduction to his city.

Second tour with Alex and would recommend
We booked two different tours with Alex, both with a little bit different of intention to them. Alex was extremely flexible in making sure we got the most of our time with him and seeing exactly what we wanted.
