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.

Highly Recommended
The tour with Alexandros Was interesting, highly informative, and the food I got to try was delicious. Alexandros is highly knowledgeable and welcoming, he even added loads of historical facts to the tour, even though it was meant to be a food tour. By the end of the tour, it felt like I gained a new friend!

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.
