Experience tomorrow the best of
Thessaloniki with Withlocals

"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! "

"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."

"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. "

"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. "

"We did a walking tour with Alex in Thessaloniki. We were immediately impressed with Alex’s friendliness and warm personality. He was a wonderful guide! He was deeply knowledgeable and was able to focus around areas of specific interest to us. The ability to tailor the tour accordingly shows the broadness of his experience and deep familiarity with the city. We plan to come back and Alex will be our guide again!"

"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! "

"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. "

"Alexandros is very commited to your preferences. A special guide that provided a great experience."

"We had a great day with Alex! He completely tailored the day to the things we were interested in. He knows a lot of history and also a lot of places to grab a quick treat or coffee. Definitely recommend spending a day learning about Thessaloniki with him. "

"We loved having Alexandros show us around Thessaloniki. He was so knowledgeable about all facets of the city. AND he was very accommodating to our slow pace. He really gave us a great tour. I would highly recommend him. "
