"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! "

THE Thessaloniki 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!
Alex is THE tour guide to book in Thessaloniki - and the other locales he covers!"

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."

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! "

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. "

Alex was wonderful!!!!
"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!"
